How to price your professional Services? - (From Rex Jayson)
A customer asked me how much it cost to make 30pcs. invitations.
π π²: 3000php
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Masyado namang mahal, tapos 30pcs. lang?
π π²: How much do you think it would cost you?
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: 1000php maximum... Madali lang naman yon diba?! Saka mura lang mga papel tapos print lang.π·
π π²: Ok, since magkakilala naman tayo pwede namang ikaw ang gumawa. π·
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Pero hindi ko alam kung paano...π·
π π²: For 1000php tuturuan kita, nakasave ka pa ng 2,000php. You'll get the knowledge na kailangan mo. π·
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Sige, pwede na din.π·
π π²: But to get started: May mga kailangan tayong gamit:
βLaptop (27k-35k)
βRegular printer (7k-15k)
βLaser printer (8k-20k)
βPhotoshop (11k-15k)
βtrimmer (500-5k)
βDiecut Machines (12k-20k)
βCricut (17k-25k)
βGlue (250)
βribbon (180)
βetc.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Hala.π· But I don't have all these equipment. Bibili pa ba ko niyan, isang project lang naman gagawin ko. π·
π π²: Well then for another 1000php more I'll rent my stuff to you para makagawa ka. π·
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Sige Sige π·
π π²: Okay! thursday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work ha.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: But I can't on Thursday I only have time today.π·
π π²: I'm sorry, but I'm only available on Thursday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other customers na kasi. π·
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Thursday and give up my other tasks.π·
π π²: I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the non-productive factors.π·
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Totoo ba? Ano naman yun?π·
π π²: Vat, Internet connection, power, etc.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Jusko! Ang dami ko namang babayaran at masasayang na oras bago ako makagawa!π· Sige. Yung mga gamit ok naman na?
π π²: Sure, nasa akin naman na yung ibang gamit, but for the paper you need to order this sa Manila dahil wala non dito sa atin. Shipping fee ranges from 250- 400php.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: 30 pcs. Lang tapos ganun na agad price sa shipping? Wala pa yung price ng papel don?π·
π π²: Actually may cutting fee pa na 100. Saka hindi pasok yung order mo sa minimum. Kaya may sosobra kang 70pcs. sa oorderin mong paper.π·
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: 1,000 sa turo, 1000 sa rent ng stuff, 1000 na lang kulang para ikaw gumawa.π· Konti nalang din naman ang idadagdag ikaw na pala gumawa.π·
When you pay for a job, especially handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- punctuality
- Accountability
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices.
Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.
