Lindsey and Donte talk pricing...again. In their first episode on pricing (way back in episode 5) they talked about how to price your work if you’re just beginning to sell your ceramics.In this episode, they share how they've navigated questions they've run into as they've gained more experience selling their work -- questions you might have as well.Questions like: How often do you raise your prices? When you raise them, by how much do you raise them? What do you do when you know you should raise your prices but you’re worried about driving away your audience? How much do you need to share your decisions about pricing with your audience? How do you navigate what someone might “expect” to pay for something, and what price that something needs to be to be profitable? How do your pricing choices affect your overall business model?There’s a reason this episode is an hour long, and frankly...there’s still a lot more they could have discussed.What did you think of the episode?
