I will not apologize for my pricing.
No small business should.
Some people are complaining about my pricing.
Kesyo "Ang mahal naman"
"Bakit sa iba mura lang?"
"Anong materials neto? Bakit mahal?"
If some items I post online may seem pricey to you, that's fine, If you can't afford it. Maybe because you’re lack of budget or you see someone offering the same item in a lower price, no big deal, but please don't complain or compare and make some negative assumptions.
I do pricing depends on the quality-design of the item as well as on the capital/investment.
We made big investments. We didn't learn or start our trade for free. In more ways than one, we have to get back what we have spent and a little on the side for our efforts and hard work.
Not everyone is my market. Obviously, you are not my MARKET.
And let me explain in a simple but honest way bakit minsan pricey ang printing.
1. Equipment & Maintenance
Printers & Other Crafting Tools (lalo na yung pang-business quality) are not cheap. May regular cleaning, replacement parts, electricity, calibration — lahat ‘yan kasama sa quality na binibigay namin.
2. Time & Skill
Hindi lang basta print. May layout checking, color correction, resizing, test prints, cutting, laminating, packaging. May oras, may effort, may expertise. Syempre sa bawat item may trial & error. At sa bawat trial & error may mga rejects. Walang nag uumpisang perfect agad.
3. Small Business Reality
Behind every print is a small business owner na may binabayarang supplies, tools, at syempre, pangkabuhayan.
Meaning kelangan may kita kahit konti.
Nagkakaiba iba din sa costing dahil depende yan sa materials na gagamitin at kung san binibili ang mga ito. Hindi lang din produkto ang binibili mo, kundi serbisyo at malasakit. 🩷
So next time you see the price, isipin mo:
Hindi lang papel ang binabayaran mo kundi quality, effort, at passion ng isang tao na gustong kumita kahit papano. 🙂
