Pricing Again!

Sunday May 13, 2007
I know I bring this subject up a lot, but pricing crafts is probably the most asked question from beginners about getting started. It's also the biggest mistake I see crafters and artists make. I know that it is difficult for a lot of creative people to handle the numbers part of their business. Not that we are not smart enough for the numbers, we just don't like fooling with that part of business.... However, remember that you must be paid for your time when you create and sell anything and that includes arts and crafts. A simple formula can help you calculate your supplies, marketing expenses and labor into your prices. The hard part is actually doing it! :-)
