Pricing 101 In this section, we will teach you how to price out the basic and not so basic requests you will receive.

Pricing Options? Suggested Price Up-Charge Discount

What do you ask a client when generating a quote request? -The item they are looking for -The decoration method (screen-printing, embroidery, tackle twill, promotional item) -The design they would like decorated on the - apparel or promotional item -Number of colors in the design -Number of print locations -The date they need the items delivered to them -Quantity of items they need **Minimum Apparel Order Size is 8 pieces**

What are the 4 main pricing categories? 1. Screen Printing 2. Embroidery 3. Tackle Twill 4. Promotional Products

Screen -Printing

Screen Printing

Ask yourself these questions: What is the item? 100% T-Shirt What is the quantity? 78 Is it White? Is it Greek? No White/ Yes Greek How many print colors? 3 – 1 on the front; 2 on the back Any name and numbers? No

What if it is not a Top Product? Almost all of the steps are the same from there!

Let us use this as an example: Item is the American Apparel Men’s Jersey Tank (2408)

How to find the specific item number? - On the Product Page of our website you can look up the item number! - For this item you would choose the American Apparel Catalog; You will also find item numbers for the University Tees main catalog and the Augusta Sportswear catalog here.

Now where will you go to find the BLANK PRICE? In the Excel document that pulls up you will use “find” and type in the item number And that is your blank price!

The two most common mistakes:

Embroidery

Most often embroidered: - Polo’s - Hats - Quarter Zips Not Embroidered: - Full Backs - On Pockets How do you price this out? Ask your BDL! What to send your BDL: - The apparel item the customer would like embroidered. - The quantity. - A picture of the design they would like embroidered. - The location on the apparel they would like to be embroidered. - The size the customer would like the embroidery to be.

Tackle Twill Options: 1.Zig Zag Stitching ($3.00/Letter) 2.Satin Stitch ($6.00/Letter) 3.Double Layer Zig Zag ($3.00/Letter/Layer)

Tackle Twill How to price out the Tackle Twill: - On the price calculator choose the item and quantity, keep the print colors at 0. Check the box for Greek then add the Letter/Layer pricing!

Promotional Products Just as easy as using the Top Product dropdown; you’ll use the Promotional Top Product Drop Down

Promotional Products Ask the same questions: -The quantity -Number of imprint colors -In hands date Anything not found in the drop down we can find: -Flash Drives -Ping Pong Balls -Water Guns -Silicon Bracelets If you can think of it, we can find a supplier for it!

What to charge and how to change the price in a quote request -Suggested Price -Up-Charge -Discount

Up-Charge -The prices that you receive when you price something out is just a SUGGESTION! If you can charge more…DO IT -If a group has a budget of $12.00/shirt and suggested prices is only $10.00… Charge them the full $12.00 (but make it seem like you are cutting them a deal!)

Up-Charge Some of the benefits of Up-Charging are: 1.Reaching your goal quicker 2.Making more bank! If you are receiving 15% commission on an order of 100 $10 that is $ If you had up-charged the shirts to $12/shirt that is an extra $30 for free

Discount 0 % discount – Full Commission 5% discount – 2.5% reduction in commission 10% discount – 5% reduction in commission 15% discount – 7.5 % reduction in commission 20% discount – 10% reduction in commission 25% discount – 12.5% reduction in commission -If you need a higher discount to price match you will need to speak with your BDL.

Color Changes -Color changes: Same design in different colored ink. -We are able to change the ink color if you customer would like a little variety! -Again, you must ask your BDL to price these items out (even if they are on the top products list)
