Detailed Pricing Data
These templates incude ALL pricing information. There are no secrets. Use our pricing method as is, or adjust it for your own market and strategy - knowing these numbers will meet your COGS and make your studio profitable. Plus, you can customize it to your market demands.
A Hybrid Model
Do your clients want digital files? This "Create Your Own Collection" model is a way to sell the files profitably, but also makes sure clients leave with a printed product too. What's the point of hiring a professional if you don't print the images? This model makes sure they do!
A Strategy That Sells Itself
This pricing has built in incentives so your clients WANT to spend more. We believe in the "soft-sell" approach, yet we know we need to make our average sale with every client to survive. Strategic pricing with "un-salesy" incentives does just that.
Switching From An All-Digital Model?
This model is a perfect transition! You can still offer the files, but you also get your clients to invest in art in a simple, easy to produce way. Win-Win!
A Proven System For Reliable Revenue
When every client who walks through your door spends your average sale needs, you can start to predict your monthly and annual revenue, and allows you to simply focus on getting enough clients in your door. It allows you to plan a fiscal budget and allocate funds for marketing, equipment, and overall growth.
The all new Pricing Suite is designed to get each client to spend approximately $1000 on their session, but it also has an attractive entry point so clients are not overwhelmed by price when they first commission you. As you take them through your process and they experience your service level, combined with the structure and incentives built into the pricing model, they are naturally encouraged to spend more without you having to conduct "pushy" sales methods.
Can't Figure Out What Products To Carry?
Having trouble deciding which vendors to work with?
This Suite will give you a ready-to-use, simple and proven product line.
