I have a patent pending on a new product that decorates orthopedic casts, wheelchairs, walkers, hospital bed rails and more. I have just started selling on line, 7/1/09.
The first customer I had is interested in retailing it on his website. Which I feel would be a good fit, but I am unsure about the different levels in pricing a product.
Here is what I think I could do... but please let me know if I am missing something.
 
My product (a kit of 2 skins) sells for $19.99 ea
 
I could sell to retailers (Online) for a 40% discount at $12.00 ea
I could sell to retailer stores (Mom & Pop pharmacies) for a 50% discount at $10.00 ea
I could sell to wholesalers (Medical supply catalogs) for a 60% discount $8.00 ea.
I could sell to Large companies (Walgreens, Walmart) with BIG orders for a 70% discount $6.00 ea  (At this level I would have just short a $3 profit...roughly)
 
First, does this sound right? I also dont know what minimums to set for these prices. It`s important to me that the small businesses be able to get started retailing.
 
Please tell me what you think. Thanks!

Know your costs before you set your prices.  If you
don`t you`ll get killed in business.  Don`t set prices
in a vacuum.
