Pricing on mug order help please ?

[twinx05]

Hi,

I am currently trying to a price up an enquiry for 20 mugs from a large company.

I have only been selling in ones and two's previously to the public, but hopefully this may be the helping hand i need if i can get the contract without scaring them off with a daft price.

Can anyone give me any advice on pricing please ?

All advice will be taken onboard,

thanks in advance.

Is it a one off order of 20 or will they be coming back for more every couple of months? If it is a one off order then I would work out what 20 x your normal price is and see if you think that is to much. I was asked to provide 70 mugs for an office block near me as they were giving them out as xmas presents to their occupants. I went as low as I could and even offered to deliver them for free, well they are only 10 mins away,but they decided to go to Ebay for £3.99 each. They got them this week and 10 were broken!!!! So if you can justify your price with good quality, being a local business then they should go for it.

Sounds like one of my orders, get lowest price for 20 mugs because we'll soon be buying 100 a month....and they order one or two here and there and expect the lowest price

With my regular customers I now invoice at the end of the month, sure I have to wait for my money but if needs be I can price on quantity ordered. If your customer orders 20 you do it at one price, if they go above, say 72 you do it at a lower price.

I have £3.50 box rate. To much or not enough?
Im happy with it. But didn't had to many customers for full box just yet I must admit

[Justin]

Agree with you Paul, I don't go below that, just not worth it

£3.50 (ex delivery and VAT) for our mugs wholesale (subject to MOQ), for an RRP of £10 from our stockists, or £12.50 delivered from the website

Hi,

thanks for all the feedback.

The company in question sponsor my boys football team and when we had the team photo done i put the photo onto a few mugs.

Cut a long story short the assistant manager has got a good job there and took one into work to show them, nxt thing he got in touch to say they wanted 10 doing with the photo and their logo on so they could put them in their magazines etc..

I've done them twenty , four different samples so they can hopefully choose which they prefer ( All four hopefully,lol ).

I've woke up to all this feedback this morning and had already decided on charging £4 per mug, so it sounds like i'm not too far away. Postage will be free too as i'll just pass them onto the assistant manager.

Totally agree with Justin & Alan on that i didn't want to go lower than £3.50 each per box.

I'll keep you up to date if they order more.

Thanks again for the feedback,
its much appreciated.








They're a global outfit

Remember one thing Jason, if in the future your earnings mean you become VAT registered you'll need to absorb that cost. £4/4.20 seems pretty bang on the money.

Cheers for that Scotty, and many thanks for getting me started with a great deal.
