Recently there was this printing company here that created some dialogue in terms of how expensive it is to print certain items such as business cards and photos. I think for things like a photo reproduction it was about $2 a print. Some people mentioned that was an extremely high price while some threw in a comment how you should pay for it anyways if you are a professional. They were even mocked too for even allowing price to be a factor while being labeled as not taking their professions seriously.<\/p>\n
That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s interesting I thought as this kind of reminded me of big brand named sunglasses. Essentially, a lot of them probably cost about $20 to $30 for the retail store to acquire and yet they still sell it for a crazy marked up price like say $200. Now in those situations, many times it is because the manufacturer demands that its products be sold at those high prices to maintain its image.<\/p>\n
At the same time, you then have many consumers saying how the product is so much better than a standard one and that you should just pay for the best if you want to look the best. Times like those I would tend to agree that if there was simply more competition the price would drop like a rock or that you can simply find something very similar for less.<\/p>\n
I think when you are starting out on anything it can be a tough decision unless you already have the name or recognition where people would not pre-judge you based on the tools that you use to portray yourself. Then again, some professions like a real estate agent usually requires them to maintain that expensive image.<\/p>\n
I suppose justifying a high price tag for an item that is marked up extremely high in a business sense can be more about politics than the quality itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
