I prefer to price high enough to where my costs are amply covered.<br /> <br /> I adjust pricing (downward) in volume, but it's on a case-by-case basis.<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 22 Dec 2005 by DGL</p> <hr /><a name="a2538_5"></a><p><b>From: Michael</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2538.5">#5</a>]<br /> 25 Dec 2005<br /><b>To: logojohn</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2538.1">#1</a>] 25 Dec 2005</p> <p>Although I used several pricing models, the one I use most often is built in a simple spread sheet.</p> <p>It includes cost per item, number of items, size of images, number of images, cost of ink/sq inch, cost of paper I'm using, toss in some overhead based on last year's sales, any accessories, input markup and the cost and retail price are known. I probably left out some of the stuff in the spreadsheet, but that gives you an idea.</p> <p>Often, I used the spread sheet along with known times for quantity orders: if I can imprint 24 shirts in an hour, I just figure the cost of the shirts and materials then add an hourly rate for the number hours it will take me to print the total order.</p> <p>Hope this is of some help.</p><hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2538.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2538.1">1-3</a>  4-5</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
