There's definitely an art and science to it. You have to factor in material costs, print time, complexity, market demand, and your own time investment. I break down my exact thought process in this video. The 20 product expansion goal is ambitious but totally doable. I'm looking at what's performing well, what customers are requesting, and where I see gaps in the market. It's exciting to grow, but I want to make sure each new product adds real value to the collection. #3DPrinting #SmallBusiness #PricingStrategy #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneur #3DPrintBusiness #ProductExpansion #FarmersMarket #BusinessPlanning #CommunityQA #MarketVendor #PrintShop #BusinessStrategy 💬 COMMUNITY QUESTIONS FOR NEXT WEEK: 1.
