• Objective 3: Develop a pricing strategy that incorporates seasonal trends, competition, and customer preferences.
• Deliverables:
  • A detailed pricing strategy report, including product pricing tiers and justification.
  • A pricing adjustment plan with timelines and KPIs for monitoring.
  • A market trend analysis report, including competitor pricing and customer feedback insights.

2. Data Collection and Analysis

• Data Sources:
  • Customer feedback and reviews from Etsy.
  • Competitor pricing analysis using tools like SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Google Analytics.
  • Market trend reports from platforms like Etsy Trends, Google Trends, or industry reports.

• Analysis Metrics:
  • Customer satisfaction scores (CSAT/ NPS).
  • Profit margin calculations (revenue - cost / revenue).
  • A/B testing of pricing strategies to identify successful adjustments.
  • Seasonal pricing impact analysis.

3. Pricing Strategy Development
