What legal considerations would you need to take when pricing these items? When pricing these items, you need to think whether or not you will make any profit of it and if the profit is too high, will anyone buy your product. Make sure you know how much other stores are pricing their items and look at the stock/market value. Make sure you know you customers. Why? So you don't lose money and close down.

What about any ethical consideration in regard to pricing these items? Pricing a product ethically is a major decision for any business. Businesses who use ethical pricing strategies to sell their products and earn a profit are far more respected than those that hurt and defraud competitors or even consumers. To practice ethical pricing, you need to be able to spot the ethical issues that hinder fair pricing. One main issues that usually businesses do not work out is that they either favor or anti-favor a product.

Explain the role of business ethics and legal considerations in pricing, as well as the importance of a reputation for honesty in communication and for quality products. Finally, evaluate the impact of legal considerations in pricing. Ethics and Legal Considerations in pricing is mainly on the customers. Think of yourself walking into a store buying a product, would you buy it if it was more expensive then the business next door? Depending on the products, I would say. Sell everyday items that people need and would buy if they was there for something else anyways. If your shop was focused on clothes. Think about how much time and money you put into making these items. Say if the dress you made costed around $30 but took you hours to make it for designs or fitted. Then up the price up on the dress, depending how it is. Make the dress $45 so you can make a profit while the customer gets a good deal. If the dress, top, shoes, pants are plain, make it around $10-$20 so people will buy the product. If it has designs and jewels and stuff. Bump the price range to $25-$50. If shoes, do slides around $25-$60 and sneakers and stuff around that range too. Don't do too expensive depending on the item. But price it around the range that would be able to make you a profit and people buying your items at the same time. Now, if you are focused on clothes. Make sure your shop has accessories. Because i know that when i shop as a customer, I always try to find accessories/purses that will match the outfit im buying. If you can, put makeup in your shop. Lipgloss or palates. Now, I know all the things may be expensive. But, if you do what you love, the money will follow.

Off topic, but may i ask if you are starting a business?
