My 2nd year in and I am raising my prices, more due to demand in the summer than any other reason. I turned down or passed on at least ten weddings this summer as I was already busy, that leaves me with two choices, employ a second photographer to shoot the extra weddings, or up my prices so at least I can make a bit more in the more fruitful times. Maybe next year I will go down the route of getting a second photographer - still trying to streamline the business and cut costs.
Some may advise against raising prices during a recession, but if people are still willing to book me then who am I to argue. |
