Price's
I'm not even thinking about doing anything myself as yet......don't even start my course till January (if I'm lucky).
But I was wondering, how do you decided what you charge??? Sxx

Think there's various ways of working out charges. You'll probably cover this at college - I did recently; I also talked to a friend of mine who is a florist and her way was different to what I covered.

Sounds like you probably won't. I'm in my 2nd year and we've only just learnt how to price work.
Not sure if you will find out on here, its a public forum and I can't see professionals being happy to lay bare how they make their money. Good luck with your course and hope to see you on here posting away

if everyone disclosed how much they charge for stuff there would be no competition, which there needs to be for the customer

Not too hard really, just takes a bit of practice.
So...for a £50 arrangement.... You look straight into their eyes and in your most positive voice say.. "That comes out at £65.00....." Without breaking eye contact, you watch the facial expression and body language. If a smile starts to form, you quickly say in a very soft voice... "Plus the dreaded v.a.t. of course" On the other hand...if a frown starts to appear.... "But as you're a good customer...£50.00 will be ok"

Lol see I don't know if I could do that.....I'm too much of a softie. Maybe I'll just stick with behind the scenes flowers (when I get started) and let others deal with pricing and customers.....
But thank you that just put a smile on my very dreary, miserable afternoon.... Sxx
