: Hello, hope everyone is doing ok. I have a psychic fair coming: up soon and I wanted to ask all of you for your opinions on
: pricing. What should my base pricing be? I usually charge $5
: for the smaller simpler designs (small zodiac signs and such),
: but I remember someone saying (I believe it was Lauren) that
: you should check out your audience first and go from there
: according to how much they're willing to spend. Well this
: audience is willing to pay an average of $25 for a card reading,
: so should I jack up the base price a little? I can adjust prices
: from there on but I just want to know what I should start at.
I just got done doing a Metaphysical fair last weekend. I worked
with a few small $10 designs, lots of $15 lots of $20 and a few
full hands at $30. I did really good at those prices. After the
first day, (getting up and down and working on backs on the floor,
kicked my you know what.) I added an extra $10 for backs. People
still wanted backs. For an extra $10 it helped. I was busy all
weekend and had to turn people away. No $5 desings, I agree they go
to little kids who smear it as they walk away and you end up doing
that $5 design over and over again. too frustrating when you have a
line of people waiting. Good luck to you, and enjoy and remember to
BREATHE!!
: Thank you.
