pricing for custom embroidery on handbags

Debbi, For our market here in San Antonio your prices sound very similar..., The only thing I would suggest is make someone from the store do drop off and pick up for rushes , you have your standard weekly run, anything outside of that schedule they either transport or you could impose a $25 rush fee for that additional service. Just my opinion.

exactly, the store is charging double they can come get the stuff. I always charge a 25% rush delivery for anything that needs to be done fast. SO i think theyre getting a pretty good deal from you. Although you have to think how many units does the store give you, and how long have they been dealing with you for. If a company stays loyal its usually three factors price location and service. Your service may be keeping them from switching. Your location isn't far you said so i wouldn't worry there. But i would either charge for pick up and delivery or include it in the price. Everyone likes to hear theyre getting something for free.

I agree that your prices sound right but I'm wondering what your weekly quantity is and how much set-up time you spend. If your quantity is low then you might establish higher pricing for smaller quantities. I would definitly charge extra for rush orders that require to pick-up additional times and disrupt your production schedule.
