Joyce,
We're right in line with your pricing...we ended up at $80. I know what we need to make on these, but I wanted to see where other folks were.
Incidently, we do very few of the smaller trophies (under 24"). Nearly every trophy we do is at least 24" tall, and has 3 or 4 columns. They are definitely more time-consuming, but we charge for that extra time (and all the extra hardware!).

I didn't see your question as a hijack.
The discussion is regarding pricing, with the labor involved in the creation of the award, being a prime component. (no pun intended, this time.)

Bill,
How we price them depends largely on who the customer is. We tend to cater to schools more than any other type of customer, and give them better pricing than we do to anyone else.
For them, we do 2x material cost, plus $60/hr assembly time. On these trophies, I figure 20 to 30 minutes each (including cutting columns and engraving the plate). That's a pretty generous amount of time. If I'm only doing a single trophy, that's about how long it takes. Doing multiples cuts the time way down, since I can do them in stages....just makes it easier.
I've never done large trophies for anyone but schools, but we would most likely charge 2.5x material, along with the same labor calcs.

Cody,
Nice job. I posted an article from a marketing news letter I get, regarding pricing in the general folder......take a look at it.......I have come to the conclusion that one must price their products and services with regard to profit and profit alone.
This leaves quality, convenience, professionalism...and SERVICE as our only real means of competion....
Regardless, if *I* had to price the trophy you made, it would by necessity be well over $100.00.
