That is very true and You have all the reason about
it. I want to make $10 by towel but if i buy it for
$2 off i make $12. I never think in say to the
customer: Go to JC Penney. It's at half price today.
Another thing is that my client want a rebate for
buyin me 5 towel I have $10 in the pocket to offer to
them.

Hi Ed...
I'd say you folks below the Mason Dixon line have it
better than us dam
yankees up here-our heating bills would kill you!
And NH currently has the
highest electric rates in the US....
$1.50 per thousand was a general consensus for
'retail' stitching at our
training session in NJ....last fall. In my 'ad
specialty' catalogs for
VOLUME orders (hats, sweats, jackets, etc.) the
companys charge anywhere
from 25¢ to 75¢ for additional stitches beyond the
'sale' amount-usually
3,000 stitiches for hats, 5,000 for shirts, etc. but
they ALSO charge a
hefty 'setup' fee, run fee, etc. so in the end-it
averages out about the
same. All advertising gimmicks, that's all.
My 'normal' customer (contractors, racecar owners,
etc) have paid $1 to
$1.50 per thousand depending on the quantity. 1-5
items usually $1.50, 6-11
$1.25, etc. depending on my markup on the item also.
Anything that someone
brings IN to me-which is usually 'one' item-a towel,
jacket, or something-I
get a minimum $5 just to 'hoop' it-and for 'walkin'
trade I get a minimum $5
to add a name, etc.
I've seen higher rates in some areas, and much lower
in others-depends on
your competition I guess. Even 'wholesale' I've been
quoted 25¢ to 75¢ per
thousand-even if I supply the goods and the
digitized artwork!
I suppose it you are totally swamped with work, and
have a high payroll-you
charge the higher rate to keep out the riffraff....
