Thanks. The pricing has been my issue. They keep pricing and pricing and giving reasons( friends, church members, etc) why i should give a discount or accept their price. It hasnt been easy sticking to my price. I dont know what to do but its well.
Don’t let anyone pressure you. Put it in work and make your outfits stand out and charge accordingly. Most times, your biggest customers ain’t going be family or friends.
