Do you feel completely in the dark about setting your prices? Do you have a formal price structure or are you just coming up with the numbers? Do you constantly change your price list? Then you’re just like me. Well…me from a few years ago, anyway. It’s funny: you can be the best photographer, but knowing what to charge can be an un-slayable dragon. And when you’re not quite sure why you charge what you charge, it’s hard to remain firm on your prices, especially when your clients want to haggle you down to nothing. Below, I share my best tips for pricing photos. Bear in mind that many of these approaches aren’t original – I learned everything I needed to know about setting my prices from Alicia Caine’s photo pricing book.
(I’m not getting paid to tell you that. I swear by that book! It changed the entire face of my business.) So without further ado, it’s time to learn how you can effectively price your photo services, starting with: 1. Include Austria Phone Number pricing on your website This one is simple but extremely important: Go add some prices to your website. It doesn’t have to be all of your prices, but you should at least publish prices for your basic services, whether that’s a couple’s photoshoot, a pet portrait session, or a full-blown wedding. This is the first step in managing client expectations and not getting the sticker-shocked client trying to weasel their way out of paying your prices. Just publish a couple of guide prices as a reference.
Of course, make sure that the prices you don’t publish make logical sense in relation to the prices you do publish – otherwise, you run the risk of surprising and frustrating clients.) 2. Don’t feel obligated to do discounts As Alicia Caine taught me, I don’t have to do family and friend discounts, and neither do you. I don’t expect them from others and I don’t give them. Well…I don’t allow it to be expected. These types of discounts aren’t always a bad thing, and I might knock something off the price or give an unexpected gift to a friend – but in general, I’m not open to this kind of thing, and that’s something that I’m firm and clear about.
