How Much Would You Pay for a Hairbow?

[SummerG]

I would like your opinion/thoughts please. Ü I am contemplating to start making hairbows to sell. In the resale shops and boutiques around here they start out at about $3.00/$3.50 for the teeny ones. I would say average price is about $4.50/$5.00 for a regular size bow. I personally think this is too much.

So my question...How much are your willing to pay for a regular size, boutique style, handmade bow? I was also thinking about offering something like buy 5 get 1 free or something like that. Thoughts? Anyone with experience? I would pretty much be selling them to friends and coworkers.

From what I have seen around here, that is about the going price. I would pay $5 or $6 for a regular size bow that was homemade.

to us it always depended on how fancy the bow, how many differant outfits it your match, how well the bow was made. I've paid $5 and higher on many occassions. Now she is 18, and I have a HUGE under the bed tote full of bows and headbands.

I think $5 or $6 dollars sounds good. I have boys, but oh if I had a girl she would have lots and I would pay that for good quality bows. You think that is expensive because you can make them LOL! I can't so I would pay it I like the idea of buy so many get one free. I think you will sell more if you do that. You should think about selling them on ebay. Especially if you do the get one free thing.

I make and sell felt flowers for clips, pins and head bands. They range between $6 and $14 each. (the $14 being most popular) I don't sell them in stores though, because of the mark up. You might want to look into Etsy too, it's all homemade, and you can see what other people are selling them for. You can see mine on FB on the page "Lyla Bean"

I find that I am willing to pay more for something for my daughter than I am for something for myself.

So for me $4 for my daughter $8 -- if she jumps up and down and says please $? .
