Why Northern Roots Creations Prices the Way We Do: A Transparent Breakdown

 

At Northern Roots Creations LLC, we believe in offering high-quality, sustainable products while maintaining transparency about how we determine our pricing. Our commitment to local craftsmanship and eco-conscious practices means our costs reflect more than just the materials we use—they also incorporate the value we bring to every product. Here’s a closer look at the factors that shape our pricing structure:

 

1. Roll Cost (Materials)

Every product starts with responsibly sourced materials, whether it’s glass, metal, or wood. We prioritize quality, durability, and sustainability, often choosing repurposed or high-grade materials that reflect our values and commitment to sustainability.

 

2. Run Time

Creating custom designs using advanced 3D printers and laser engravers takes time. Each project has unique requirements, and the complexity of the design directly impacts production times. We factor in this time to ensure we can deliver a superior product.

 

3. Electricity

Our equipment requires significant energy to operate. By accounting for electricity costs, we ensure our business remains sustainable while striving to minimize our environmental footprint.

 

4. Maintenance and Wear-and-Tear

High-performance machines like laser engravers and 3D printers need regular maintenance and occasional part replacements to stay in top condition. This ensures we can consistently deliver the precision and quality our customers expect.

 

5. Setup and Administration

Before production begins, there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work, including design creation, setup, and administrative tasks. These steps are essential to making your vision a reality and contribute to the overall cost.

 

6. Business Costs

Operating a small business involves expenses like rent, insurance, licensing, and marketing. These costs are part of what allows us to provide personalized service, support local economies, and give back to the community.

 

Why Buy Local?

When you purchase from Northern Roots Creations, you’re not just getting a beautifully crafted item—you’re supporting a local business that values quality, sustainability, and community. Buying local reduces environmental impact, strengthens the local economy, and ensures you receive a unique product made with care and dedication.
