Posting a price list on website

[Stanka Kordic]

Hi Linda,

In addition to all the great advice, I'd like to add my own 2 cents.. I prefer the "prices starting at..." method. I have found that it opens the door to a conversation by phone or email which needs to happen in order to finalize the commission from a long distance. I was always concerned that people would go right to the prices and rule me out based on that only. Half my work comes from the website, so its worked out well thus far.

Your work is strong, and can certainly handle a price increase. Let go of fear!

All best,

Stanka

I post my prices on my website (and yes, they're too low) because it enables me to send prospective clients there and they don't have to deal with the embarrassment of expecting to pay around $200 for a commissioned portrait. And I also do get commissions from my site, but I mostly use it as a handy online portfolio.

Thank you Leslie for letting me know how your website works for you. I think I'll be doing the same as you and show a price list, but probably not til 2005.

Linda,

I know exactly how you feel. I did end up putting my prices on my website and they are similar to yours. I also wonder sometimes if I'm not high enough or too high. I fear that some will think what could be wrong that his prices are so low. My big dilemma right now is that I don't have any commissions. I've been working on figure paintings in hopes of getting in a gallery.

I would really appreciate if anyone could look at my website and let me know what they think of my work and prices.

Dear Yahoo, thanks!
A writer intended to write an article for a magazine, found me from checking at "best portrait painter Charlotte" from Yahoo, (I was listed at the first position, and "best portrait painter China", I'm at an advanced position. It only shows that I'm active in forum).
Search "best portrait painter Atlanta", I found Marvin!
