what tarriff should I set for face painting parties in the UK???

Question

Hi, i charge £2.00 per design/face when i am working at a location for face painting but i want to do birthday parties. I can paint 10-12 faces an hour and want to be booked for a minimum of 2 hrs and charge around £60 for the first 2 hours... i don't know how to set the tarriff for any further time needed... what i mean is when a customer rings to book a party and asks prices i will say £60 for first two hours and that i can paint 20-24 faces in that time, but do i then charge per person for anything over 24 or do i charge per hour, and what if in the first two hours i don't get to paint 24 faces because they don't que up, but then they all want it done in the next hour!!!ahhh it is driving me mad , i just need help, if you are a face painter what do you do, or have you booked one and how did they set the tarriff? thanks hope you can make sense of this!!!

Answer 1

The simplest method is to charge a flat hourly rate.

Inform the customer that your rate is £60 for the first 2 hours and £35 for each additional hour. You will also want to let them know that, on average, you recommend one hour per 8-10 guests (this provides some leeway).

If the client pays for 2 hours and the kids do not queue up for the first hour, then you may want to inform the customer that additional (booked on-site) hours are available at your normal £35 per hourly rate.

Hope this helps!

try your library. Many libraries do mom and tot training health middle Jams, or any youthful ones play centers. Your flyers might want to be in colour and performance examples of your artwork. Black ink on colored paper purely would not coach what you would possibly want to provide. seem into upcoming fairs or city activities with the aid of your city hall. Ask them what they many times pay for this service. you may undercut your self. then you actually can provide your facilities at a deducted cost to the favourite public or they pay you a cost. i'd not value finished pop in the adventure that they enable your playing cards/flyers for the favourite public. set up in a mall on a Saturday.Do some faces and balloons for loose to get the crowds coming in. Volunteer at a baby's medical institution. this may benefit appreciate from the favourite public and some rerferels etc particularly of flyers, tie playing cards to the balloons and hand them out to households or gently positioned them on windshields (card with string) on any automobile with newborn's seats contained in the back. objective promotion desire this helps.
