I own a small clothing shop in a rural area, and customers constantly haggle over my prices. As a small business owner, I need steady turnover, so I often end up giving them discounts at the prices they ask for. This has been happening for the past six months. Recently, I introduced a computer-based billing system, hoping it would discourage haggling, but I was surprised to find that customers are still negotiating prices.
I’ve checked with nearby shops, and my prices are almost the same, if not lower, and in many cases, the quality of my products is better. I started this business eight months ago, and each month, I either break even or make a small profit.
What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have advice on how to establish a fixed-price system?
