Offering Gift Wrapping?

[Former_Member]

I am thinking about offering gift wrapping this Christmas buying season. I am already swamped with orders (so very thankful) so I would have to hire someone to wrap for me. Do you think $7 is too much to charge? I am basically just covering my expenses, not trying to make $ off of it. Just thought it would be a nice thing to offer to my customers, but don't want people to be turned off by a high price.

Would love your opinion.

I wouldn't pay $7 for gift wrapping, but that's just me. I'm incredibly cheap. I offered it for free last year, and 20% of my orders took advantage of it.

People who pay for gift wrapping are accustomed to around $8-10 per gift, depending on size. I also offer it the same as you, just to cover the costs. I think it is nice to have the option :)

Wow, I never knew gift wrapping was that much. I have never paid to have it done because I always wrap all my own gifts. I guess I'm cheap like Sara. lol

I would think it would be a nice option. Even if it doesn't sell, it only ended up costing 20 cents to you.

It's more about time than cost. I just dont have the time. I am working every free moment I have ( I am a stay at home mom too :) which amount to about 40 hours a week. I just dont have more to give. I guess yal are right, no one has to add it... I AM CHEAP TOO and would never pay for wrapping but I am also not my target audience :)
