What kind of pricing formula have you used to price your products?

[@wreathlings]

Jenny’s Wreath Boutique “guesstimate” I have a hard time keeping track of how much I should charge if I didn’t use the whole roll/bush or whatever is in it. Plus I am anal so I will add everything in, hate it. Rip half of it out and add different stuff. I struggle with this.

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Wreathlings oh I hear you! I do a lot of guesstimating too. If I know I use about half of something, I just count it like that. And that’s just to get an idea of what you spent, and then you go to the next step and see what other similar items are selling for.

[@jennifersedo8241]

In the past I've used: supplies + materials × 2 and I wouldn't charge for labor....so I wasn't really making any money 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@daniellebraga2880]

@@jennifersedo8241 How do you differentiate between materials and supplies? Also, how do you figure out cost of labor?

[@jennifersedo8241]

@@daniellebraga2880 hi 👋, the words "supplies/materials" are just category words. Supplies are the things that you used to make your item: like glue, glue gun, floral wire, wire cuter, etc. Materials, for wreaths, would be the wreath frame, ribbons, flowers, etc. I add that and times it by 2. You can add labor to your cost, but I am just starting so I don't do that. However I might over estimate on some things if it's a lot of work or I may add a small labor fee of $5 but you add that to the number you are multiplying. Don't forget to add your shipping materials to the supply cost. You will need to add the sum of that number with any fees you have for your shop and if you're offering free shipping then add the price to the sale price. Hope that answers your questions. Otherwise, check in with Jenny because I am a beginner and she has more experience.... there might be something I'm missing. 😊

[@mckenna8663]

Many years ago, my girlfriend and I had a crafty service business. And (well this was before the internet was popular - so Etsy wasn't even a twinkle in some techie's eye) we used to sell and market our wares/services at craft shows. One time there was a Crafter who made beautiful, slightly expensive art parked right next to us. Right at the front of his display was a sign that read "well perhaps you COULD attempt making it... but WILL you?" That shut up a lot of hecklers, and turned those trolls into buyers.

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Haha that is so true!

[@ramyaakshay4614]

Thank you for being so open and honest about your pricing. Not something that everyone is comfortable sharing. I don't make wreaths but this gives me an idea of how much I need to charge for my items. Thanks a lot.

[@selinahughes7347]

Hey Jenny, I’ve been meaning to send you a message for ages. I’m from the UK & qualified as a florist years ago. After making no money doing friends weddings I stopped. When lockdown started I started selling some bits on Etsy. I then noticed how many (this might sound awful) people were selling really badly made wreaths for a heck of a price!! I’ve started making them & other floral bits too. I’m just starting out really but I’m absolutely loving it. It was chaos at first, supplies were all over my house 🙈. I’m getting more organised now. Your channel has been so helpful, it’s literally been my go to. I’m with you on the awkward..my friends keep saying they want them & it kills me to tell them the price. I’m trying to steer away from that, I’d rather have strangers buy them if that makes sense. Ppl charging too low is very harmful also! I definitely need to add extra sizes. The thing that put me off was thinking I’d have to make the wreath up in all the sizes but I suppose that’s not needed if you add a caption, something like (15inch comes with 3 roses). Just wanted to thank you really. If this takes off I’ll be able to spend more time with my boys who are 4 & 5, that really is the greatest gift I could get from anything. Honestly, seeing you doing it & learning about how you started has spurred me on so so much. I really can’t thank you enough. Selina xx

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Thank you so much for this comment! I loved reading about your story, and I completely agree with you! As far as adding the different sizes, yes, absolutely just start with one size pictured, and then as you get orders for the other sizes, you can take pictures of them and add the pics to the listing. And yes, extra time with your boys is priceless 🙌🏼. So glad my channel is helpful!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@selinahughes7347]

I'm 72 and have never been crafty, but I have paid tons of money for wreaths and other decor, which I am so happy to be able to do. I love to decorate for the seasons. I will never try to sell anything - the idea is ludicrous and hilarious - b/c my talents lie elsewhere. Having said all this, I have been to your Etsy shop and will definitely buy something from you when I need it. I have followed you on Instagram and will subscribe to this channel.

[@darleneghoreyshi6723]

Fantastic! You gave great info and very helpful! It was great to know profit vs time in labor it took to make wreath. I use high quality florals but always get great price so I like your thought process of just think of it as 50% off and the rest is bonus. When I get home from store I write the price I actually paid on tag including tax so I know exactly my price then I put away. Thank you! Thank you!!! I am going to now do my Etsy shop more as I know I can charge more there than I can like in my local shop that I am a vendor just because of clientele but still making good profit. Great points on raising and lowering prices and comparing my items to those on Etsy and comparing quality of work. I keep telling people about your channel and they are subscribing as well. I believe you get your grapevine wreaths from Michaels but I just discovered joannes craft plus. Option to purchase items in bulk at lower cost. Only bummer is return policy so must know quality of items in person. Not sure if you have a local joannes. Their 18” grapevine is usually I believe $6.99 but with joannes craft plus it allows you as a business to purchase in bulk bringing $3.08 each with minimum of 5 purchased. Drops down to $2.86 for 20 or more and best part is you can use your resale license to not pay tax. I know Michaels is $5 then you wait for 40% sale etc to purchase. I just thought this might be beneficial for you so you don’t have to wait for sale if you need to order and no sales tax. Plus I find their wreaths to not have so much dried leaves and stuff mixed in with wreath. Slightly better quality than Michaels. Hope this helps you as you have helped me. Thank you!

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Darlene Ghoreyshi thanks for the tip about Joann’s craft plus! I’ll definitely check that out. I do have a local Joann’s, but I don’t shop there much.

I think another point I would like to make is not to overthink if you’re good enough to sell. If I could sell just one I would be so happy. Thanks for sharing this info with us. 😊🙏🏼❤️🌼💐🌻

So glad this was helpful! As for your question, it depends on the craft fair. I’ve only done one and I brought 50 wreaths. It was a big one, though. I would bring things of all different price ranges. Bring something big and stunning and also some mini wreaths, and everything in between.

Enjoyed your video. Can I ask where you buy your flower containers?

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Michaels! I like to wait until the end of season clearance (they have them for every season) and get them for 60% off 🙌🏼

[@jaycee7913]

You are such a sweetheart!! Thanks so much for this video and all of the others. My first time seeing you was when you posted the video of where you get your supplies. I immediately went to Michael's and Darices's websites but the product selection was not nearly as nice as what you show on your video. You did that video in May so that would explain why the beautiful products you purchased were no longer available. Which raises 2 questions: Do you purchase all of your flowers from Michael's in store or online? 2. When you first started making wreaths, how did you know how much of which florals to buy and which prices were reasonable? I bought a lot of cheap flowers to make wreaths but I don't feel comfortable using them to make wreaths to sell. I'm so happy to know that it's possible to buy quality flowers so affordably. Thanks again and blessings to you and your family!

Carol Wright a lot of my really nice flowers are from Michaels in store or online. I like to see the quality in person in store. Then I can make a much bigger purchase online. A lot of their florals are only available in store, and in that case I will use the buy online pick up in store option. For Darice, the selection is definitely a lot smaller, and the really good items tend to sell out fast. I would recommend signing up for an email notification when they restock (often times it takes until the next year) and then grabbing them as soon as they’re back in stock. I did that with some of the orange berries I got. And also, try shipping a season or two ahead on Darice. As for your second question, there’s a lot of trial and error in the beginning. And lots of shopping around. But I always stock up on quality greenery.

Darice got bought up by Michael's and has closed their doors.

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Lise Rod yeah, such a bummer

[@alisonfox7632]

I love your vidoes. where do you purchase your shipping boxes please. tthanks

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

I get most from Uline and Amazon. Here’s a link to a common size I use rstyle.me/+ygGmtOW0FSHdt77kCcsUkg

Hi again - I keep sending questions on each of your videos! 1) I saw another video about people freaking out about shipping costs doubling & tripling when the Post Office went to just dimensional pricing vs weight? So, do they not use weight at all? 2) I also saw a video where they said that Etsy priced the shipping a lot higher (is that if you use their label?) than using USPS Retail and taking it to post office? Your video said post office would pick up? 3) Did you get average weight/size? of your wreaths and find out shipping to both coasts and in-between and just average it? Thanks for trying to answer so many questions.

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Hi! 1) they still calculate weight, but now when the package is over a certain size, the dimensional weight is added to the regular weight. For example, I could have a 3lb package that is priced at 13lbs because the dim weight is added to the actual weight. That’s why I only ship USPS if my package is under a certain size. But they still use weight. 2) Using Etsy shipping labels saves me an average of 20% off my shipping. It varies. But it definitely is cheaper to use Etsy’s shipping labels in my personal experience. I have also had a few returns, and I’ve noticed that the price they paid to ship it back is always more expensive than what it cost me to ship it to them. And yes, you can schedule a pickup from USPS. You can even do that straight from Etsy now, which is super convenient! And it’s free! 3) yes 😊

[@chrisrybar495]

Hi Jenny not sure how you make money on your beautiful lambs ear wreath I just bought the supplies 😅your prices are great and free shipping your amazing!! Loving all your videos I’m going to do multiples thanks for all the great tips!

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Yes, lamb’s ear can get expensive! I have to get them half off at least, or I don’t buy them.

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Also, if you’re looking at the price of my lamb’s ear wreath, it’s the smallest size price that shows up. My prices get much higher with the wreath size.

Thank you very helpful on how to price my wreaths, right now I am working on a spring-summer wreath and I have bought my greenery from Greenery Market, they are somewhat pricey, but good quality. Can I send a picture of my wreath when I'm done? will you give me an honest opinion on the finished product? I would truly love your input. I have been making wreaths now for about 10 or more years but never really sold made for family and friends, started selling my wreaths at craft fairs where it was a waste of my time and money but I do have this client that is the biggest fan and customer. I make seasonal wreaths. I did pretty well this past Halloween and Christmas. Anyway, I would love your input. I have spent more money on supplies and honestly have not made a dent in profit. Jenny thank you for sharing. Love your wreaths. ❤

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

I’m so glad that was helpful! The only place I do wreath critiques is inside my wreath making VIP group.

[@jjeessz]

That’s really mean for people to comment and say you can make something cheaper. Of course they could. But they don’t consider the time it takes of driving to different stores to find supplies, and the coupon is usually only good for one item, so you will have to go everyday. Then the time of looking around the store to find the perfect items, to make it. And you have to consider the time it takes to actually make the wreath! It takes time. If it was so easy everyone would just do it. People are paying for someone’s craft, time and their ideas. If people want to pay for something, why does someone else feel the need to go and try to undermine that decision. I don’t even have my own business, but that’s just rude. Love your wreaths Jenny 💜

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Yeah, but what can you do 🤷🏻‍♀️. Personally I would never comment something like that, but it didn’t offend me. There were plenty of people who were willing to pay that price because I completely sold out of that wreath in one day.

[@conniegibbs57]

I so look forward to your videos. I’ve been doing wreaths for about three years. Mostly doing a large craft fair in northern Arkansas. I have been concentrating on my Etsy store and it is doing good. I tried to sign up for the Darice’s wholesale. They said they were not taking new account. I googled it and it said Michaels was closing the wholesale part of their business. Have you heard anything about that?

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Connie Gibbs I haven’t heard that about Darice, but it wouldn’t surprise me. I’ve been having issues with their system lately. Thanks for the head’s up! Congrats on your Etsy shop doing well! Have you been able to do any craft fairs this year or have they all been cancelled?

[@conniegibbs57]

No Most of all the craft fairs are canceled 🙁

[@lgeorge1300]

Jenny this is a great vid question how do you determine the shipping cost do you determine the price based on the furthest zip code

[@JennysWreathBoutique]

Yes, I look at a zipcode in shipping zone furthest from me, mid range, and close to me. Just to get an idea of the ranges I’ll pay. Then I average the cost, or just a little above average. That way it evens out in the end.

[@lgeorge1300]

Good morning I have a question it seems obvious but I am going to ask any way hehe when you offer larger wreath size you measure across the wreath to determine a size and move up in size you do it on a bigger grape vine correct. I hope this makes sense
