HELP! I have never sold them before and I have NO clue whatsoever what to charge for them. $1 each? Strawberries are in season now, so that shouldn't be a problem, I just don't know what price to charge.

TIA

I priced mine wrong by using that method. Unless you want to change your pricing every 3 months because of the seasonability, you need to price them based on the highest price you will pay.

Thanks - I will have to do some research.....

Just to give you an idea, a flat of strawberries back in March from Sysco cost me $38. I bought 4 flats this week and they cost me $15 each.

I work in a grocery store and we charge $1.50 per strawberry for large strawberries. If you are doing stem strawberries I would charge $2 per strawberry. It also depends on what kind of chocolate you are using. If you use really good chocolate like Ghirardelli or Valrhona then you can charge much more..besides the fact that better chocolate will probably get you good oo's and ah's regardless of the pricing. It's chocolate and strawberries...YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG!!!!

I am new to this but I priced them this week at $7/pint plus the cost of the strawberries. That way I could keep my same price in any season, and tack on the extras. Plus I know some strawberries will be larger and smaller and you never really know how many you'll get in your package. If I had a business I would probably charge more, but this was not to go on a cake, the customer just wanted a few because she was already placing an order. After I told her my price she wasnt interested anymore anyway. So who knows.

I think the fair price would be $___ plus the price of the berries. It makes it sound better.

Being Devil's advocate and playing the role of the bride:

"Since I'm wanting one berry at each place setting, how many berries do I get for that price? I dont' know how many are in a pint? And if they are bigger berries, dont' I get fewer of them?"

True indydebi. I just gave my customer an estimate number of berries per pint. I'm too small to buy flats and sort through and give her just 20 of the biggest best looking and then do who knows what with the rest. If it were however a bride wanting one for each place setting, other arrangements would be made. My pricing would work best if the berries were to be served on the dessert table, or even cascading on a cake where you just need a certain look, not a ceratain number of berries.
