Craft Lab — Pricing Strategies for Artists
As artists and designers consider the business side of their creativity, the art of capturing and describing value through a holistic pricing strategy becomes (almost) as important as the creativity itself. Four factors—cost, competition, customers, and competencies—affect the price for a creative entrepreneur’s work or time, and we’ll explore the science (and the art) behind each one. We'll end with some conversational tools to talk about the true value of the work negotiation-style.
