We tend to cater to schools more than any other type of customer, and give them better pricing than we do to anyone else.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><br /> Cody</p><hr /><a name="a5205_17"></a><p><b>From: Bill (ALBILLBERT2000)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5205.17">#17</a>]<br /> 28 Oct 2006<br /><b>To: Cody (BOBTNAILER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5205.16">#16</a>] 30 Oct 2006</p> <p>Thanks I wasnt saying you were right or wrong.. fact I think you are inline with the prices I do.. seems like same price just different way to get there.. i am going to look at it again on monday..

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. <br /> This leaves quality, convenience, professionalism...and SERVICE as our only real means of competion....<br /> Regardless, if *I* had to price the trophy you made, it would by necessity be well over $100.00.</p> <hr /><a name="a5205_20"></a><p><b>From: Bill (ALBILLBERT2000)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5205.20">#20</a>]<br /> 2 Nov 2006<br /><b>To: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5205.19">#19</a>] 2 Nov 2006</p> my price came at $97.50 pricing and qty discounts have to be considered but I priced it with first col pricing fpr one trophy.. and yes doing one takes more time than doing a qty... my price does not include engraving.. I also have a policy if the customer needs the trophy in under 5 days they pay the shipping charges for any parts not in stock.... .. I try to put orders in every week.. to keep the shipping down.. its the small orders that kill your margin..<hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5205.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5205.1">1-15</a>  16-20</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
