This is a question from two fabric accessory and embroidery artists. "The time it takes to make something for the first time is different from the time it takes to make something three times and get the hang of it, so I wonder if it's okay to charge you based on my working hours..." they said. We talked to the two, who want to continue working as their main job, about the idea of ​​setting prices with the "break-even point" in mind. During the recording, they commented, "I'm worried about people with better skills than me, so I set my prices low..." so we also discuss a spin-off from that at the end. ▼ Japan's largest handmade and handcrafted goods mail order site "minne" by GMO Pepabo https://bit.ly/3uBGo9N ▼ For those who want to sell handmade works online https://bit.ly/3iGpCAV ▼ Table of contents 00:00 Today's question 02:03 Answer, gallery introduction 05:45 The secret behind material costs and production time 12:36 Break-even point based on number of productions 14:41 Changes in production time and price setting 18:56 Points to note for beginner artists 20:19 Summary for those seeking advice 22:03 Digression 1 About compensation for your own technical skills 24:09 Digression 2 The most skilled artist does not necessarily have the highest price or the best sales 25:25 Comment introduction ◆ Please take a look at this along with today's video ◆ Question 20 "This is the basics!

I listen to minne lab and learn while I work. We are a duo, myself in charge of embroidery and my partner in charge of sewing, and we have been working on minne for over two years. This time, we are consulting about pricing, but after studying at minne Lab and recalculating everything, we made a major price revision last month in December. Until the revision, the repeat customer rate had exceeded 60%, so it really took a bold step, but since this is our main job, we discussed with my partner that we want to continue our activities for a long time, and we decided to revise the price. We were prepared for a significant drop in sales for more than three months, but we have many repeat customers and new customers who are really grateful for us, and we are holding up better than expected. So, what I would like to ask is, when we set the price, we measured our working hours and converted them into an hourly rate, but for example, the time it takes to make something for the first time is different from the time it takes to make the same thing three times and get the hang of it, and also, I am not very efficient myself, so I wonder if it is okay to charge based on my working hours, and I struggle with pricing every time I release a new item. Therefore, in many cases, the price is set lower than the actual price if the hourly rate is calculated. I consulted with Mao because I thought that Mao was the only one who could objectively point out the price. Thank you very much. * * "Good Morning! minne LAB" is an official video distribution by minne for artists who are working on crafts.
