[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Craft boutique

[Courtney F. Smith]

In past research, I have seen recommendations of at 2-3 times the cost of your supplies.

Kaila;

I price my items, thinking of, if I was the customer, what would I pay for this item?
Also, you can not make it so low that you can not make any money after buying supplies and the work that goes into the item.
Many do not realize the cost of supplies and the time that goes into making something, large, like a scarf.

Write me directly, if you want to discuss this more.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I am going to be in my first craft boutique next month. Three weeks actually. I’m getting a bit nervous. Maybe terrified. LOL. I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the new things I’m doing in my life. But I’m so happy! I am having trouble figuring out how much I should charge for different items “fingers crossed“ maybe some sort of formula? Also, I would love any tips tricks, what not to do. Maybe a general how it all works? Your favorite thing about your experience in doing craft shows. I’m not even sure what questions to ask. LOL hope you’re all having a beautiful day.

Thank you,

Kaila
