15 Tips on Pricing

15 Tips on Pricing There’s a lot of chat on here and the facebook group about pricing. I put together these tips to help give some pointers when working out price. Charge what the customer will pay - not what you would pay - you always undervalue your own work. Pricing based on time plus materials is usually the wrong way to price. When calculating costs, include your fixed overheads as well as per item costs. Don’t forget packing and shipping which can be expensive. If you are …

How to Price Glowforge Projects

I think many of us here purchased the glowforge for reasons which include, hobby, new business or expanding on an existing business. I wanted to open a thread to discuss ideas with pricing your projects.

Pricing items and customer expectation vs. reality

One of my bosses recently asked me if I could somehow get an engraving of Spider-Ham onto a Pop-Socket for his son.

How do you price your items?

I’ve been making things for awhile now and I think that I’m finally getting the hang of things. What i keep running into though is the difficulty of how do I decide on what to charge? I’m all over the page so to speak. I can make a big project in fact I’m working on one. That takes up 20hrs of glowforge time ant 2 hours of prep. But I could also make a bunch of really small things in the time that it takes. So I’m hoping for some advice. Thank you.[20200620_170616]

This #whatmadethis campaign has been great. I’ve already got someone interested in buying a pro! An added bonus is, I have people checking out the Glowforge page with my designs. Somebody this week facebooked me and asked if they could buy my Eggo Coasters, possibly the box and all! Since this kind of hit me as a surprise, I’ve been looking over all the great pricing advice the glow folk have been giving and trying to cobble together some form of system for myself. I think I got a pretty good s…
