NEW PACKAGING

>We have decided to upgrade our lovely black plastic garbage bag packaging for our customers that buy the finished turnings. Now each piece in the airport will have a rustic box such as this and will be put into a flannel bag. It solves the problem that nobody has room in the suitcase for another thing. This pitcher and box are of Pink Flame wood. The box is 6 � x 9 � x 9 � . The box has no finish and the pitcher has a matt finish. Hopefully each box will match the piece.

>Jim, this is great, and will present a much more professional package than a black plastic bag. Did you boost the price or absorb the cost?

>Looks fantastic, Jim.

Are you covering the cost and not losing profit?

>Mike: Upped the price $15. The boxes are made from scrap but they do take time to make for each different size peice.

I've talked to some artist around here that ship a lot of work and they have found they can raise the prices significantly. When trying to close the sale they just say " I'll tell you what I'll throw in a heavy duty package so you can get it home at no extra charge" Of course the charge is already there but they say it works most of the time.
