bamboo pole cost around 100pesos to 150pesos and the marbles are around 50pesos
to 100pesos.
If our price is higher it is because of the higher cost of materials, aside from that we
used a costly materials. If we can get our materials at the lower cost so we gave a lower
price for it. Yes, it is also a part of a marketing plan as much as possible if we can have
a supplier that can give us a reasonable price of materials we can produced a
affordable and high quality products.
Our price is not much sensitive to our market because this is not a basic needs for them
a artist collector doesn’t matter the price instead of the design of it. They already know
about the materials and its cost for that so the buying behaviour of our market does not
affect it matters of the design and its a top of line position and our current marketing
strategy support this price position direction to the materials we used.
