Mystery Kit Price Increase

Hey everyone, 

As of today, the prices of a few Mystery Kit products are increasing by $5 each.  Those products include the Original, USA, MLS and Kids Mystery Kits. The costs associated with running my business and offering this type of service have increased to the point where I have to raise the price.  

Generally speaking, before even thinking about raising prices, I would try to make the business more efficient to make up the money that way.  Although my expenses are high and continually increasing, I don’t have any major areas of waste that I can eliminate to save money to avoid a price increase.  

The second way I would try to avoid a price increase is to just sell more.  This can be a little problematic though. In order to sell more now and not over time, I need to increase my advertising spend, resulting in higher expenses.  I also have extremely high standards for the jerseys that I send out and I won’t compromise the quality of my product to cover the money needed that way.

This move is not in anticipation for the proposed tariff plan by the incoming president. If that plan does come to fruition, I will have to reassess everything then with the information I have.

I run every aspect of this company by myself (with a helping hand here and there). My only goal is to get as many soccer jerseys in the hands of people that I can for a fair price.  I’m obsessed with value in both my personal and business life and I know that I can still deliver that value even with this increase.  I have enormous things that I want to achieve and contribute to the world of soccer, thank you for your help in that pursuit.
