It’s easy to get bogged down in the technical aspects of apparel decoration, but the real path to success, if you’re an embroiderer (or a screen-printer, heat-press specialist or digital decorator, as well) lies in thinking like a business owner first.
In this Shop Talk, host Rick Roth, founder of New England’s Mirror Image Screenprinting & Embroidery and the Ink Kitchen, talks with Jennifer Cox of the National Network of Embroidery Professionals about charging what you’re worth, factoring in all costs and communicating your pricing clearly to avoid surprises.
Valuing Your Embroidery Work
Critical to this kind of approach, Cox says, is thinking long-term: ensure your pricing allows you to reinvest in your business, pay yourself fairly, and weather unexpected challenges.
Roth and Cox’s conversation was recorded at part of the Impressions Expo in Fort Worth, Texas.
