I got an order from one of my friends for my cookie bouquets and I made up the price list.

What do you guys think. I read up on a lot of the responses already talking about pricing and would like a little critique.

Thanks!

How cute!!!!! I was just a bit confused. $24.00 for a dozen????? or 5 for $25.00 Does that mean you sell the Dozen different Undecorated cookies? I couldnt figure it out. But other than that, I love it. Very festive. Good job!

Great job! I, too, am unsure about the pricing for the dozen and for the five cookies. I was thinking maybe the five cookies is in a bouquet form with the flowerpot and ribbon and the dozen is just bagged and that's it - no ribboned flowerpot. Is that it?

Thanks so much! I made this on photoshop.

I self taught myself how to use it when I wanted to begin making invitations and stationary.

I'm stickler about spelling and grammar... so there are a few things I would change. You might not be as anal as I am though. icon_smile.gif

Ok, here are my comments about the spelling/grammar.

I think using the word "Cookie/Cookies" so much is redundant. If you are advertising "Cookie Bouquet Pricing", they know you're talking about cookies. .

* Baked fresh and hand decorated (I'd leave out the "by me" part. Your business name indicates they are done by "you") with vanilla icing. Other flavors or fondant icing are also available for an additional fee.

* Standard cookies are approximately 2-3 inches. Please ask about pricing on larger sizes. (you don't want to put "additional fee" everywhere - makes you sound like you are trying to nickel and dime people.)

* All bouquets come in a standard flower pot tied with a matching ribbon.

* One week advance notice required on all orders. (preparation is spelled wrong - and it reminds me of hemorrhoid cream)


Cookies are also available individually packaged and sold by the dozen.

_________________

I really like the colors and graphics. The heading doesn't seem to be centered properly though - like the word "Bouquet" should be just a tad over to the right.

I don't have comments on the cookie prices, as I do mostly cakes. Good luck though! icon_smile.gif


*Edited because I don't seem to know my right from my left. LOL

preparation is the correct spelling! Very cute ad though! On the bottom, perhaps stating undecorated cookies $ 24.00 per dozen. Would people rather see more pictures, and less prices or a price range instead? i.e. cookie bouquets range in price from XX to XX and depending on the number of cookies selected.

How adorable, you are very good with photoshop! All I do is get frustrated with it icon_sad.gif

The only thing I would change would be the price for the dozen bagged cookies. If they are decorated just like the ones in the bouquet, but just without a stick, I would charge more for them.

My advice is to charge more for 12 cookies!

Nothing standard about your stuff right? How about a cute flower pot?

I agree--very nice presentation you put together.

I am also spelling and grammar.

Please put a space between icing and Any.

Love the card. Would you do mine?
