How can you charge more than the market for a phone case?

Sell to a niche: a design for a clearly named buyer (a job, a hobby, a family role) competes on the design, not on price.

• Personalize: a name, date or photo is harder to compare on price.
• Sell two: a small discount on a second item spreads the fees.
• Price for the season: gift buyers care about design and delivery date.
• Show it well: clear mockups and real photos hold a higher price.

How do you handle so many phone models?

List one design with the phone model as a variation, and offer only models your supplier prints. Each model can have a different cost, so check the prices before you set one price for all of them.

• Case type: a tougher case costs more than a slim one; offer it as an upgrade with its own price.
• Popular models first: start with the models most buyers use and add others later.
• Personalized cases: a name or a photo supports a higher price, and buyers compare less.
