Hi some the models of princesses and flower bouquets and other various stuff ive posted pics on facebook ive started getting requests for how much I charge for them. Im relatively new to this and have never thought about prices yet.

how do you price things up.

Wow, this seems a popular topic at the moment. There have been a few threads recently.
Mr Wiggle had this to say:
"I tend to use the ten times rule. I average out the price of a balloon to 5p times by the amount of balloons used to give the cost of balloons used then times that by ten for total cost to customer might round up or down depending on model.

so for my peppa and George and the no 2 I used approx 100 balloons @5p =£5 x 10 total £50
the customer was happy and gave a £5 tip as well.

that pricing system might not work for every one but it gives me a good starting point, Delivery is always extra."
This seems like sound advice.
Hope this helps
Kindest Regards

I would say £10 but would also suggest you put a round balloon into the centre of all models dress with corresponding colour.

If im selling I would put a 11" balloon in middle to fill the void.

I think these prices under value your work and this pricing make work for decor but balloon art twisting should be higher! 14.99 or 19.99 because there worth it!!
