Dapat MagCOSTING lagi sa mga gawa natin...
A customer asked me how much it cost to make 30pcs. invitations.
𝗠𝗲: 3000php
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Masyado namang mahal, tapos 30pcs. lang?
𝗠𝗲: How much do you think it would cost you?
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: 1000php 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 1000php tuturuan kita, nakasave ka pa ng 2,000php. You'll get the knowledge na kailangan mo. 😉
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: Sige, pwede na din.😁
𝗠𝗲: But to get started: May mga kailangan tayong gamit:
Laptop (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 1000php more 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 sa Manila dahil wala non dito sa atin. Shipping fee ranges from 250- 400php.
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: 30 pcs. Lang tapos ganun na agad price sa shipping? Wala pa yung price ng papel don?😂
𝗠𝗲: Actually may cutting fee pa na 100. Saka hindi pasok yung order mo sa minimum. Kaya may sosobra kang 70pcs. sa oorderin mong paper.✌️
𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿: 1,000 sa turo, 1000 sa rent ng stuff, 1000 na lang kulang para ikaw gumawa.😂 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.
