Sign Contractors Pricing Guide

[2fast4you]

Looking for information about finding something similar to SIGN CONTRACTORS PRICING GUIDE for reference. Any ideas?

 

[2B]

google, find sign websites that allow online pricing (buildasign.com, signs.com, gotprint.net, etc...)

While a price guide is a "quick" reference, we found the pricing to be VERY skewed for our area

NOTE: you have to know what your overhead is, what your break-even price is, and what you want to make a profit
The most significant factor is what are your competitors in your region charging, be competitive with your pricing, don't be the bottom dollar company

You won't find any guide online that will magically come up with a price list for.

Here is lots of good info to read up on........... https://www.signs101.com/threads/what-formula-do-you-use-to-quote-a-job.62708/

Signcraft has a guide

The sign expert has a guide as well as Signcraft.

I used to use both of them as a guide. But I strayed away from them. It's nice to see a ballpark. One is high and one is low. I used to try to shoot for somewhere in between. Now we just KNOW.

The last version I have is 2016. As said, it's a good reference to check against from time to time. I always used a Discount for those, to bring the prices closer to my area. Was just wondering what's out there.. Thanks.

I have that guide from 2005 and it's actually a really guide as far as how it breaks things down for pricing.

yes
i still carry a 2015 edition
a great reference for a "ballpark" estimate

a great reference, when a prospective client asks about a type of work you don't normally do

Think of a number, multiply it by your shoe size, add your age, divide it by 1 and thats roughly the price to charge. If it seems too low, just multiply the final figure by 2

What do the materials cost, add a % mark-up. Charge for design, how long will the project take, be truthful, not optimistic, multiply that time by your hourly rate , add your desired profit. Look at the price you've come up with and the finished product, consider the perceived value, add additional charge if
applicable, DO NOT lower your price if it seems too high. That number is what you need to sell the job for if you intend to make a living. Good luck.

Did you steal that from one of the Cricut forums?
