 Re: What is your average profit margin per shirt?
Something to factor in if you plan to create stock designs is your design time. AND as one poster mentioned above, absolutely factor in your design time for custom work. To be fair to yourself, set a $ / hour your are worth for your design time, sitting in Photoshop, Corel or what have you. Do not sell yourself short. I factor in $45 per hour for graphics work but I am not sure what the standard design rate is. Perhaps a designer more in the know will have a better figure. I am more familiar with web design and development world where I charge $75 per hour and that is a pretty cheap rate since I do database development. Electricity, ink, and other miscellaneous materials should also be included. Great input though I love the insight more experienced producers have! |
