Okay, so ... tomorrow (as mentioned on my original fiction blog), I'm doing a local craft show where one of the things I'm going to be selling is original handpainted greeting cards. And I am really not sure how to price them. Here are few examples of what I'm selling:
( Under the cut )
They are pretty simple in design, and each one takes me, I don't know, about a half-hour to 45 minutes. I was thinking of selling them for $5 each, but my husband thinks that's way too low, since each one is an original little painting on good-quality paper. Maybe $8? $10? I'm worried about pricing myself out of the market if I go too high, since greeting cards are kind of disposable in most people's minds. I was looking on Etsy and other places, and I can find very few similar products; most cards available are prints, so I'm not sure what the market value might be for such a thing.
Hmmmm. Suggestions? What do you think is a fair price?
