    marketplace pricing strategy agent

    Example session with this skill installed

    I am launching a ceramic coffee dripper. COGS is $8.50, shipping is $6.00, and Amazon takes a 15% referral fee. Competitors sell for $22 to $35. What should my price be?

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the marketplace pricing strategy

    I have analyzed your ceramic coffee dripper pricing based on the provided unit economics and competitor benchmarks. The data supports a mid-tier entry, but your margin is sensitive to the high shipping-to-COGS ratio.

    Analysis

    DimensionScoreEvidenceWhy It Matters
    Price Floor4/5Fixed costs are $14.50.Defines the "no-go" zone for discounts.
    Contribution Margin3/5At $28, margin is ~35% after fees.Healthy, but vulnerable to PPC cost spikes.
    Reference Price Band4/5Product fits neatly in the $25-$30 sweet spot.High probability of customer acceptance.
    Discount Headroom2/520% off drops margin to ~18%.Limits aggressive Black Friday participation.

    Key Risks

    1. Shipping Volatility: $6.00 is high relative to COGS; a $1 increase cuts profit by 15%.
    2. PPC Dependency: If Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) exceeds $8.00, the product loses money.
    3. Price Perception: If the dripper feels "generic," it will struggle against the $22 incumbents.

    Recommended Next Move

    Set the initial launch price at

    $28.95. This places you above the budget tier while leaving room for a 10% "New Release" coupon that keeps the margin above 25%.

    Next Steps:

    1. Confirm final FBA/Last-mile dimensions to ensure the $6.00 shipping estimate is accurate.
    2. Run a 7-day A/B test at $26.95 vs $28.95 once you have 10 reviews.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Setting prices by guessing leads to thin margins or lost sales. Sellers often struggle to account for hidden fees, competitor positioning, and psychological price points simultaneously.

    What it does

    • Calculates defensible price floors based on unit economics and platform fees.
    • Benchmarks products against competitor price bands to identify market positioning.
    • Maps value differentiation to justify premium pricing or discount headroom.
    • Designs reversible price tests to validate assumptions without permanent brand damage.
    • Evaluates bundle economics to increase average order value while maintaining margins.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General AI often ignores the specific math of marketplace fees and contribution margins. This skill enforces a rigorous evidence ledger that separates verified facts from hypotheses, preventing "hallucinated" market success. It delivers a structured validation plan with specific pass/fail signals rather than vague advice.

    Use cases

    • Determining the launch price for a new private-label product on Amazon or Shopify.
    • Calculating how deep a holiday discount can go before the contribution margin turns negative.
    • Auditing existing SKU pricing against rising shipping and COGS inputs.
    • Structuring multi-unit bundles to optimize shipping costs and customer perceived value.

    Known limitations

    Does not provide legal, tax, or regulated financial advice. Cannot access live private seller dashboards or real-time internal competitor sales volume without external tool integration.
