Hi! So I'm a pretty new store and I'm really struggling with pricing. The parts + labour + expenses = wholesale x 2 = formula just comes to too much for me so I've tried to pare it down but I still dread I'm charging too much.
Basically, I decorate boxes. I take lovely plain decoupage boxes (I use good ones) and decorate them with very high quality paint (student artists) and even better varnish. I do this as I really want to produce a high quality product. However, I know that there is no point in doing this unless somebody can/wants to buy them.
The parts cost me roughly £10 for big boxes and £6 for candle holders and I'm charging:
£20 for candle holders -

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this :D !
