Pricing Your Handmade Art Dolls, the Doll Making Business Series Part 2
Part 2 of the Dollmaking Business Series, today we talk about the different pricing scenarios that arise as you move through your dollmaking business journey.
You can watch the video, or listen to it as you go about your day, in my Youtube Channel:
I start the video with a bit of an overview on how I slowly started adding or including costs into my pricing ‘formulas’ to illustrate the arc of growth that happens as you move forward in your business.
These additions happened not only as my business morphed and grew, but also from the experience gained year after year.
I hope the video illustrates this for you and gives you more insight as you go about pricing your handmade dolls.

Thank you for reading and for listening. I hope you stay tuned for Part 3 of this business series, which I am bound and determined to publish next week, as we seem to be in a state of isolation and perhaps now more than ever you need to have something to dream about and work towards the future.
