When it comes to marketing a business, one of the most cost-effective and visible ways is to invest in signage. Signs are an excellent way to show off your business’s name, logo, or message to potential customers.
Pricing Handmade Signs
In her Tips for Pricing your Handmade Goods blog on Craftsy, artesian entrepreneur Ashley Martineau suggests this formula:
- Cost of supplies + $10 per hour time spent = Price A.
- Cost of supplies x 3 = Price B.
- (Price A + Price B) / 2 = Price C.
Profit margins vary depending on the industry, but a good range to fit within is 5% – 20%. To work profit margins into your prices, multiply your Base Price by the desired profit margin.
