Rizla Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 It's a bit of a first for me! Been dunped with 15 various traphies to update (date back some years) they landed on my doorstep at home... More to arive apparently. Ok .. no prob! 3 are rotary jobs, some add to scruffy plate and others need a new plate.... I know.. all in a days work. Trouble is that when she asked me weeks ago we agreed no price... Will phone phone her tomorrow (after B/H) but just wondered what sort of price you would ask as an average? either per item or job lot? If I get a customer bring one into the store then I know what I charge for the job (not an issue) but I've not had the 'Job Lot' before. This won't be a repeat as they are disbanding this year.... Any advice? Thanks Rizla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Charge the same as what you would charge normally. I usually charge a £7.00 setting up charge and 20p per letter. Extra charge for date shields or new plates etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 i keep it simple with annuals a tenner per name and charge for shields and plates if needed the way i see it, if you count all the letters for a box of annuals you could have engraved a few in that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizla Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks to all for the replies on this... So now they are all done and for fun I'm gonna work out and compair... BTW Andy, I took your advice on general pricing about a yr ago and I remember the first week of saying "£8.50" ("Yes but how many letters can I have?") "£8.50 for what ever" ("Are you serious?") "Yes" "WOW" Works EVERY time now and beating 2x Tmpo's around me. So on a day I tend to charge £8.50 for simple flat setup, a tenna if curved or £12.50 for fancy design. Just could not decide what to do with three box's of mixed trophys in one go. But you all have helped. I get too soft sometimes ( Rizla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I once offered a relative discount & his reply was "never be embarrassed about profit" he then paid full price. it stuck in my mind. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonsecurity Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 One of my suppliers always says "profit is not a dirty word" that one always sticks with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I know I'm a bit late on this one, but here's a description of how I price annuals. The more that come in together, the more the price drops, up to a point. It might initially look complicated, but really isn't! Additional names beyond the prices in the list are 50p per name. i.e. a single flat item with date & 4 names would be £9.25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
