Small business ππΌπ π€ appreciation time!
Let's talk pricing πΈ
Many will go out and eat a $40 meal π΄π½οΈ and not think twice about it. Maybe even 2-3 times a week.
Add that up.
Often people buy coffee βπ₯€π₯, even every day, from the local shops at $8-$15 dollars a pop.
Add that up.
Many homes pay for TV πΊπ‘ subscriptions, ranging from $8-upwards of $50/+month.
Add that up.
Now, some do all of these. π―
It's NOT cheap. π²
And yet these things are not things that will be kept, nor useful, and one is a "time" taker. ποΈ
Yet when it comes to hand π made, quality products, something someone not only put many hours ββ³into making, if not days, used and abused their handsπ€, body etc to create it, pay π΅π΄ for the materials and more just to bring joy ππ to others.......the price seems too high π«π«, not worth it in their eyes, and like a frivolous spend. What? Why?
As an example of expenses, this πππ little container of beads, just over 60 pieces costs $17. When I try to keep my prices affordable but the cost of items keeps going upβ¬οΈβ¬οΈ, that means I have to charge a reasonable price to make it worth it and cover my expenses. This is just ONE of the tiny piece of the process.
ππππππππ
