I just read a transcript from someone on the subject of pricing and couldn't
agree with him more. If you charge too little, you are like giving it away.
Do quality work and you can charge what you want.
This Sunday the minister told a story of a grocer that was selling apples a
long time ago for 3 cents apiece. A lady came in a complimented him on his
fine apples, but complained because the grocery on the other side of town
was selling apples for 2 cents apiece. He told her to go there and get
them. She promptly replied that she could not because he was sold out.
If you sell too cheap, you will burn yourself out and soon quit - taking a
nice easy job at WalMart!

Hey LuAnn,
I normally charge $6, but if they are a regular customer I'll knock off a dollar. I'm running a special this month for a free name with any logo order. HTH Debbie

Hello all,
Quick question. What do you charge to add a name to a customer provided item. (flats)
Nothing fancy, just left chest/right chest, standard size?
Lately customers are giving me the impression I prices are too high. I am competetive with this area.
Just curious what others are charging.
Thank you in advance for your time!
