Success in embroidery business
Saturday, December 6, 2008 19:26To succeed in business embroidery you need customers and sales, but also needs a profitable price structure. Who cares if you work 24 / 7? If you can not make a decent profit, then kill you for nothing. Therefore, you need a system of price competition, easy to understand, but that completely covers their costs.When to go to a mission in favor of the revenue (sales call), with a new customer, your goal should be close to an agreement and collect a deposit. (If not, you probably need to find a new job). To do this, you must be able to offer a price of the products they offer. But if your price is based on a points system for counting, there will be a difficult if you do not have an account to the client

But I found that most Brodeuses are not very good at this and prefer to send works of art in a professional exploration to find out what the point is, probably, to be. Needless to say, there are a whole range of conjecture here, which is already the potential loss of revenue due to an underestimation of sewing count.But is the real issue at hand that you need to be able to provide an exact cost of employment (not estimates) for the client during the meeting if you have any hope of closing the deal and getting a deposit. Nobody is going to go this far without a price confirmed. And to be honest, it seems kind of “fish” when you can not give a price on the ground. Therefore, if the license with the promise of having an appointment within a few days, you provide an opening for a competitor to slide and get the job.So a way to address this dilemma is to create a flat rate system pricing is not perfect, but it means the ability to price a job on the ground.
To do this it is necessary to calculate their average cost embroidery in advance (outside the client). If you do the basic stitches, and then take time to determine the rates of different sizes (one of my seminars website for more information), then set a standard for counting all left chest and Cape jobs. I use 7500 points, but I know others who use stitches 5000. Or, if it has set a cost of $ 2.00/1000 for quantities of 1-12 pieces, and then embroidered fee of $ 15.00 per piece. ($ 1.00/1000 return of $ 7.50 per piece, etc.). Now it’s just a question of how many parts the customer wants to buy, such as sewing all expenses are pre-calculated. Of course, there will be 10,000 jobs and a few stitches to 3000. But the key is determined that the average number of points and use it as the basis of his figure.
