A customer asked me how much it cost to make 30pcs invitations..
𝗠𝗲: ₱3000
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Masyado namang mahal, tapos 30pcs lang?
𝗠𝗲: How much do you think it would cost you?
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: ₱1000 maximum. Madali lang naman yon diba?! Saka mura lang mga papel tapos print lang. 😁
𝗠𝗲: Ok, since magkakilala naman tayo pwede namang ikaw ang gumawa. 😉
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Pero hindi ko alam kung paano...😂
𝗠𝗲: For ₱1000 tuturuan kita, nakasave ka pa ng ₱2000. You'll get the knowledge na kailangan mo. 😉
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Sige, pwede na din. 😁
𝗠𝗲: But to get started: May mga kailangan tayong gamit:
Laptop/PC (27k-35k)
Regular printer (7k-15k)
Laser printer (8k-20k)
Photoshop (11k-15k)
Trimmer (500-5k)
Diecut Machines (12k-20k)
Cricut (17k-25k)
Glue (250)
Ribbon (180)
etc.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Hala. 😣 But I don't have all these equipment. Bibili pa ba ko niyan, isang project lang naman gagawin ko. 😐
𝗠𝗲: Well then for another ₱1000, I'll rent my stuff to you para makagawa ka. 🙂
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Sige Sige 🙂
𝗠𝗲: Okay! Thursday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work ha.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: But I can't on Thursday I only have time today. 😢
𝗠𝗲: I'm sorry, but I'm only available on Thursday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other customers na kasi. 😔
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Thursday and give up my other tasks.😣
𝗠𝗲: I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the non-productive factors. 🙂
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Totoo ba? Ano naman yun?😲
𝗠𝗲: Vat, Internet connection, power, etc.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Jusko! Ang dami ko namang babayaran at masasayang na oras bago ako makagawa! 😲 Sige. Yung mga gamit ok naman na?
𝗠𝗲: Sure, nasa akin naman na yung ibang gamit, but for the paper you need to order this dahil wala nito sa malapit na bookstore. Actually may minimum order na 100 kaya may sosobra kang 70pcs sa oorderin mong paper.✌️
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: ₱1000 sa turo, ₱1000 sa rent ng stuff, plus other costs pa. 😂 Konti nalang din naman ang idadagdag ikaw na pala gumawa. 🙏
When you pay for a job, especially handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- punctuality
- Accountability
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices. Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.
