Studio Order Pricing for Calligraphers: Stop Undervaluing Your Work | Bottle Painting Tequila

If you've ever stared at a studio order request wondering, “Is this too high? Too low? Am I about to scare them off?”—you’re not alone. Pricing studio orders used to make me spiral too. I’d spend hours second-guessing my quote, tweaking numbers, and hoping I didn’t mess it up. In this video, I’m breaking down exactly how to price your work when a studio or brand reaches out—so you stop second-guessing your rates and start getting paid what you’re actually worth. Whether it’s envelope calligraphy, signage, or wedding suites, I’ll walk you through: ✔️ What studio orders actually are ✔️ The 5 key factors to consider when pricing ✔️ The pros and cons of different pricing models (per piece, hourly, or flat rate) ✔️ A real-life pricing example with my go-to formula ✔️ How to communicate your prices professionally and clearly No more pulling numbers out of thin air. Just clear strategy and confidence. 💼💖 ✨ If you want to take the next step and grow a sustainable, profitable calligraphy business, check out The Craft Academy: http://www.wandercrafter.com/apply ▻ RECOMMENDED TOOLS: Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/shop/wandercrafter Paint: DecoArt Multisurface paint Calligraphy: Marvy Uchida silver deco color paint pen (extra fine) Paint Saver Kit Desk Organizer Paint Palette Paint Brushes CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 01:21 - What Are Studio Orders? 01:55 - Factor #1 - Time and Labour 02:12 - Factor #2 - Materials You Will Be Using 02:21 - Factor #3 - Complexity of The Work 02:34 - Factor #4 - Volume and Bulk Discounts 02:53 - Factor #5 - Market and Competitor Pricing 03:07 - Pricing Structures 04:16 - Studio Minimums 05:51 - How to Communicate and Negotiate Pricing with Clients M E N T O R S H I P You can find out more about the program here: www.wandercrafter.com/craftacademy And apply to work with me here: http://www.wandercrafter.com/apply HONEYBOOK TUTORIAL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy1lpcBhx-E&t=4s Get 30% off your first year of Honeybook! https://share.honeybook.com/wandercrafter ----- ▻ FOR MORE INFO: Full On-Site Engraving Toolkit: https://wandercrafter.com/on-site-engraving-kit-essentials/ *Disclaimer* These are items I know and in all my engravings.
