Valentine's Pricing Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake 1: Same Prices as Regular Days
Selling Valentine's cakes at regular prices
Valentine's is PREMIUM season. Your effort is premium. Your time is premium. Your prices should be too.
Mistake 2: Forgetting Extra Costs
Not accounting for Valentine's-specific expenses
- Heart-shaped molds and pans
- Red/pink packaging and ribbons
- Premium ingredients
- Rush labor (overtime!)
Mistake 3: Taking Too Many Orders
Saying yes to everyone
More orders ≠ more profit (if you can't deliver quality). Premium pricing + limited slots = less stress, more profit.

“Last Valentine's I sold 50 heart cakes at P800 each. After iCost, I realized I only made P100 profit per cake because I forgot all the extra costs! This year I'm pricing at P1,200 and limiting to 30 orders. Less stress, more profit!”
