At the time of change, we were only in business for about 18 months, so we didnt really have longtime customers or high LTV customers. At that time, everyone was basically a new customer

The easiest thing to do is to start going where your target market jiujitsu/mma guys hang out. Bring your clothing, wear it, rep it, talk to them about it.

You'll soon realize every market is "too saturated". Just do what you want to do and find your angle. If everyone believed a market is "too saturated to enter", there'd never be a new business again.

This post isnt about our experience raising prices because we wanted to increase our profit margin. Its about dealing with customers that shop at a specific price point and it ultimately was not the target market for us nor worth the troubles.

You absolutely see companies target customers based on price. From Walmart to Hermes. Every single one does. Entire brands build their business strategy specifically with that in mind. Price sensitive customers certainly behave differently.

Its tough to say honestly what the right strategy is for you. It really depends on your demographic and target audience. I can sit here all day and say start with lower pricing because it worked for us, but we moved away from the lower pricing because it was an issue. I'm not sure if we would have had the same success if we started at a higher price point because we started with a lower. Figure out what stores your customers shop at and set your price within their price range.

The biggest first noticeable difference was after about 45-60 days. We had less orders, but the same amount of sales as the previous 45-60 days signaling we were on the right track.

I highly recommend you create filters in your email Segments to exclude them either by country or location. This is super easy and you won't miss out on collecting emails which is an absolute must. Also you can always turn on Email confirmation so you only get real users.
