work are valuable, but they don¹t tell the entire story. This
new book teaches you how to arrive at your own pricing, based on cost
estimates, predetermined mark-ups and profit margins. Once you¹ve
learned how, you can calculate your own prices that will guarantee
the profit margin you want. Let the other guy do the job for less
when you know it would be break-even or unprofitable for you. This
is one of the most inquired about areas in the entire sign industry
‹ how much should I charge? Make sure you are charging enough
to make an acceptable profit. |
