Pricing question

[Gilligan]

Where would you guys be on 25 white and 5 black? Where and what would the next price break be?

[Gilligan]

Anyone?

I threw him a number of $6 each and he got back to me and said that another shop in town was doing them for $3.50 so I said... go there, thanks for giving me the opportunity to bid.

Then he came back and asked if there would be a price break for a larger quantity or can I do better on the price.

He emailed the other guy and isn't getting a response.

I said, because they don't want to work for so cheap and that I would get back to him after I thought about it some more.

whore.


I'm at 10.00ea. qty break, we're not running shirts, there is no quantity break. It actually goes up a bit -look at all that weeding. . .nuts to that mess. . dude was lying to you, sweating you on the price so HE can resell them, I bet money on it.

What size are these?.....

I try to go with 15.00 (to set type) plus 1.75 per lineal inch of material used....Oracal 751.....I would add extra time if there is a logo that needs to be made cut ready.....I would charge more than 1.75 per lineal inch if I need extra time for weeding.....

Whoops I missed the bottom text. Yeah at least $10 and I would have my wife or son do the weeding, screw that! Lol

[Gilligan]

The club sells them for $15 and they give them away free with the $25 membership.  He didn't hide that info.

That is a font so it wouldn't be hard to run it through the cutter... type it out and go.

[Gilligan]

So how do you guys arrive at pricing for this sort of thing.

Straight linear footage?  I can run at least two per run, so my cost is actually half what the linear footage is.

I need to figure out a good way to calculate this stuff so I don't underbid (like I did) and I don't have to pester you guys.  This is a spot I'm lacking on.

Its really about the time it takes. Material wise is almost nothing on this job. Thats why I would have my wife or son do the weeding!

[Gilligan]

Yeah, I don't do any of the weeding and my wife and mother-in-law who does do it all... just can't seem to grasp estimating it.

My wife thinks 5 mins each.  That seems like some easy money but she dreads it. (granted, she hates weeding though).
