You can't scale your brand if you don’t understand your numbers. In part three of the pricing series, we’re talking all about COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) and margin — what they are, why they matter, and how to reverse-engineer your retail price to protect your profits. This is the financial foundation you must have before stepping into retail.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What’s included in your true COGS (hint: it's more than ingredients)
How to calculate margin and why it’s non-negotiable for growth
What “retail math” looks like in real scenarios
Why margin protects your business through retailer asks and promos
🧮 Get your calculator and take notes — your future margins will thank you.
