Need Help Pricing Choc. Covered Strawberries
Decorating By Heavenlydelights107 Updated 30 Jun 2009 , 8:12pm by indydebi
Hi Ladies,
I have been doing choc. covered strawberries for quite some time for family and friends, but am new to selling them.
What do you usually charge for these? Per each or per dozen?
Thanks!
My price is $2.50 each.
I price them each because I usually sell them for weddings, where they order 100+. As you begin to price them, you need to account for the ones you don't use. As you're probably aware, since you've done these, you have to buy 30-36 to get 12 good ones.
I also price mine based on worst price (like January or February pricing). That way I can keep one listed price (don't have to keep changing a printed price list), and for my summer brides, I can afford to give them a discount without losing any money, since my selling price is based on winter pricing.
Even tho' I price them "per each", I do have a 1 dozen minimum.
Hope this helps!
In upstate NY they run $27 a dozen. You could give a discount for it being strawberry season, but that's the price.

No, I don't sell by the pound and the reason is that if I tell someone "berries are $xx per pound", the first thing they're going to ask is "How many in a pound?" I'm just not going to go thru that.
Berries will be different sizes, depending on the growing season and where they come from. I can always tell when the crop rotates from California/Mexico berries to Florida berries. Calif berries are always bigger. So my price lists always says "Best Available for Season", which means I make NO implied promise about the size. What *I* get is what *YOU* get.
