Copying competitor prices is a trap. Real, smart businesses price on True Gross Margin—and we make the math stupidly simple.
Undercutting local quotes by 5% or 10% feels like a shortcut to winning jobs. But it is a financial race to the bottom. Your competitors might have automatic presses printing 6 times faster than your manual setups, cheaper rent, or zero debt. Copying their numbers means you are pricing below your actual shop expenses.
You don't share their rent, machine debt, or staff costs. Pricing must start from your actual cost basis.
If they run an auto press (600 garments/hr) and you print manual (100/hr), undercutting them guarantees lost cash.
Many competitors guess their own rates and operate at a loss. Copying them means copying a failing model.
The Print Life calculates your exact True Gross Margin automatically. Know your exact profit floor before you send a single quote.
How Smart Shops Price
Formula: $5.70 ÷ (1 - 0.45). Exactly 45% of the selling price stays in your shop.
Self-select your role to see how Print Life optimizes your daily workflow tasks.
