We're also planning 1-2 stock colors, so happy to align\non how that factors into pricing\/MOQ as well.\n\nRather than name a target price in isolation, it would help me more to see\nyour standard pricing at a few different volume tiers, since I know price\nand minimum order quantity are connected. Could you share:\n\n1. Your standard MOQ per style, and how price per unit changes at a few\ndifferent volume levels (e.g., at MOQ, and at higher tiers like 200 and 500\nunits per style, if relevant)\n2. What's realistic for a first order from a brand-new brand \u2014 we don't\nhave sales history yet, so we're starting cautiously\n\nFor context on our constraints: our total launch budget is around $20,000,\nwhich needs to cover both the first production run and other launch costs\n(samples, photography, website, initial marketing). So we're working\nbackward from that to figure out what order size and price point is\nachievable for us right now, versus what we might grow into for a second\norder.\n\nIf it's easier, we're also open to starting with fewer styles (e.g., 2-3\nitems in one color\/size) if that gets us a better price-to-MOQ ratio for a\nfirst production run, then expanding the line once we have sales data.\nWould love your read on what makes sense given those constraints.\n\nThank you,\nDavid\n\nOn Thu, Jul 16, 2026 at 4:15\u202fPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello David,\n>\n> For bedding, the minimum order quantity is based on the fabric area rather\n> than per style.
