CESSNOCK: Pricing for Creatives
August 23 @ 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm
THIS IS A CREATIVE PLUS BUSINESS EVENT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WILD LEARNING.
What should I charge? This question plagues creative practitioners and arts no matter what industry. There are answers, but they are fascinating and complicated.
Working out what to charge for creative products and services can be a colossal challenge. Where to even start? What’s It Worth? is a practical workshop that covers the basics of figuring out the price point for creative work, including calculating costs and understanding the marketplace what to charge for creative products and services.
With a specific focus on the arts and creative industries, this workshop covers:
+ The beginnings of the process and working out how much everything costs.
+ Working out the Unit Cost measurement, and its place to the costing process.
+ The value of time, and how to measure effectively.
+ Choosing the right pricing method for your products and services.
+ Understanding how to evaluate the marketplace with the right kind of research.
+ The Psychology of Pricing, and how it impacts on what you can charge for your work.
