Product vs. Brand

[Desolation Row]

Hello,

I have an idea for a physical product for a niche (Architects). It's a small item and relatively easy to produce, After getting some quotes from manufacturers I could produce them for about 2-3 € a piece. The sale price possibly would be in the 15-25€ range. I already started to make a design for the prototype.

This is where my doubts started kicking in... As it's a pretty small item and probably more of a want, than a need, I'm not sure if this Idea is something I should go for, or if it would be possibly better to start building a brand with something more substantial that has more magnitude and impact.

Has any of you had similar doubts?

I would love to hear your opinion on this
Thank you so much,
Marcel


P.S I posted my introduction last week if someone would like to have a bit more background info.
