Get ready for the Racket!

Are you undercharging, overcharging, or pricing your crafty items just right?

Come to the Chicago Craft Mafia's networking night, The Craft Racket, this Wednesday, for some valuable insight. Corinne of Lucky Penny Hand Made has put together the newest set of tips on the ever-popular topic of pricing. The tip sheet will also be available on our website after the event for those who can't make it.

We've added a special, interactive component to the Racket for this topic. Please bring one of your handcrafted items (or a photograph of an item). It should not have a tag on it with a logo that identifies the artisan. We will have small slips of paper for you to write down the materials and/or techniques used. All the items will be displayed, and everyone at the event can write down what price point they would expect to see for each product.

Starting around 8:00, we'll have people go to their items, check out the ranges listed on the various slips of paper, and give a quick report.

Even if you don't have any pricing questions (do artisans like that even exist?!?) we hope you'll join us for an evening of socializing, talking shop, and sharing a snack or two with your fellow crafters.

See you Wednesday!
