How important is price point?
I feel like I've been asking a lot of questions lately, but I'm always interested to learn others' opinions! I'm curious where you all draw the line with price points...
Would you spend more for ethically, responsibly sourced brands? Also, would you compromise quality for better pricing? Or would you prefer to spend more for higher quality?
I would spend more on ethically responsible brands as long as its on my budget.
I'm all about the better price since I live on a budget.
@Brittany Brady I currently try to make the most ethically responsible choices I can, but like you mentioned, budget is a factor that effects us all! 💸 I wish more companies were transparent about their sourcing and labor practices, but when they aren't it's usually safe to assume the supply chain has some questionable links. I hope that in the future it will be easier to make better choices that support workers, the environment, and our wallets simultaneously! 💛✨
I’m willing to pay a premium on products that are ethically-sourced, sustainably produced, fair trade, etc. This applies mostly to food, I must confess. With clothes, aesthetics is key. I do feel better about a purchase when it looks great and is socially/environmentally conscious.
Regarding quality, at this point in my life I bite the bullet and pay for clothes that are well-made. I used to buy these very comfortable, surprisingly well-cut “travel pants” from some fast-fashion retailer in my early twenties, they were like $20 (and definitely produced in sweatshops). Eventually I began to joke that they were my favorite line of disposable pants.
I was someone who set the sales at a major department store and the price point would clearly tell you what the highest price item would be on that particular sales rack. On the other hand you would have percentages, in this case you would have the lowest percentage indicated on the rack. As far as the quality of the items it all depends on the brand and not the price point or percentage, it depended on what the sale price was for that particular sale.
I would spend more for a higher quality if it's necessary. If you're on a tight budget, you shouldn't waste money on things you don't absolutely need.
That is really useful to know. Thanks a lot! As for determining the price point I highly recommend you have a closer look at https://priceva.com/.
Hi
It depends...larger brands say they do ethical sourcing but because they work in other countries, it turns out the supply chain their use have horrific labor practices. Usually the stuff is way more expensive and it is harder to do when you are on a tight budget.
