#193 - Pricing with confidence

Ryan & Becca answer a couple listener questions specific to pricing your work depending on the medium you’re selling in & confidence in yourself. Topics include pricing to sell to a local restaurant or pricing at local shows. Your prices don’t have to be set in stone, so be open to changing them when you think it’s needed.Listener QuestionsOn this episode:- Do you think the majority of Instagram popular potters fire oxidation rather than reduction? @seuzens- How do you guys handle pricing for larger orders in comparison to wholesale? For example, an order for 30-50 mugs for a restaurant to use. It’s not wholesale, but that large of an order seems like it would warrant a discount from standard retail price. What do you guys do? @thepotterymason- Ryan, I am a small ceramics maker. Have you covered "pricing" and working side by side with makers/ceramicists/etc (not necessarily all together)? I've just started and shown at holiday fairs, ceramic arts shows, makers fairs, and I've found the vendors can be very different and pricing can be so different. For instance, selling a mug at a holiday show at $25-40 might be the norm, and then a maker fair it might be $40-70, and then a ceramic art fair might be different. I ask because I showed recently and have had lower prices in the past $25-35 mugs and vendors didn't like that at all - a few even came up to complain to me. Obviously, there's a touch of imposter syndrome and I need to value my work at a higher rate. @bruce.leongSend us questions so we can answer anything you've been thinking about on a future episode.
