ROM rates/package

[Cheesecake]

I'm really glad that Cheesecake and catchlights have given me valuable advice on packaging for event.
I'll treasure it and recalulate my cost/profits when consider to offer a package out. (Which will not be F.O.C) :bsmilie:

Sincerely thanks to both of you.
Do you both mind to "loss" some time for a free cup of coffee/tea/drinks on me? ;P

no need la. u dun go around charging F.O.C then we happy liao.

hahahahahaha

 

[catchlights]

yes, that's right, some couple told me that some photographers charge very cheap and do free touch up on all 4R photos, I told them this is a very good deal, go and grab it.

I don't do touch up for free. :bsmilie:

:some might bend with the times but u risk being labeled ruining ur reputation and ur own pricing mantle. words might spread around n u'll forever be remembered as the S$800 quality guy. :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

As quality increases(with age), have you/others face problem to increase pricing? how to counter that?

why should be a problem leh?
every year all workers are having wagers adjustments upward.

why should we photographers be henta kaki on our pricing?
don't we deserve this also, especially we do improve on our skills, service, products and everything as time go by?

naturally u need to haf clients in the high places... so if u manage to land one and did a pompipi job for them, ur name will be passed around in fancy parties and with some luck u might land another high profile job and another.. and another...

main thing is to maybe know ur target market and know ur own niche. :thumbsup:

not sure, can't comment as i dun use their services at all.

i guess everyone goes to a familiar lab where they always get their prints done there. so u might like to run a search in CS and check out the rest of the labs u mentioned.

Thank you for all the supports over the years

I will cease selling albums once the current stocks deplete.
