Sell it cheap because you are just starting- right or wrong?

Selling yourself cheap will get you new clients who will naturally want to exploit, you based on the feedback they got from your previous/old clients.

Best way out is to give discounts – to encourage prospective clients. That way you don’t end up cheating yourself!

I think cake pops are a huge pain, and if Starbucks can sell average-tasting, boring-looking ones for $2 I think $3 is a fair price. And I’d be astonished if a friend argued a price. Saying it’s more than they can/want to pay is one thing, but implying your product will be unworthy of full price – regardless of your time in the business – is insulting.

I agree, cake pops are very time consuming to make and I charge $3 and up for them and not a penny less. Don’t sell yourself short because you’ll only regret taking the order when you factor in your time involved and realize how much you shortchanged yourself. Stick to your guns. You’ll get plenty of clients that appreciate and value your time and skills. Good Luck!

You know the value of your time and experience- Im glad you stuck to your guns!!! There is a saying that is ooh so true- Don’t do business with friends and family”—I think -shame on your friend -

How audacious of this “friend.” Basically she has said, “Let me use you.” No to her and no to underselling yourself! <3

Cheap prices bring in cheap clients. Stick to your guns. Tell her what you would do for $1.50 each if that is her budget.
