I recently did an organizing job for a client. She had MANY pictures that need to be put in photo albums or other arrangement. She asked me to quote her a price for organizing her pictures and putting them in books. I have always put my own pictures in albums and scrapbooks, but I've never done it for someone else. I have no idea what to charge for this type of work. I do not believe she wants to pay alot or to have very elaborate pages. She will have hundreds of photos and she is currently working on putting them in date order. Can some of you scrapbookers give me some advice?
I'd ask her what exactly she's looking for. If she's looking for something simple (i.e. photos in a pocket album) or something more intricate (i.e. a traditional scrapbook). Then, you can try to estimate material and time expenses.
People typically charge $10-$15 per page and the cost of supplies! I wouldn't do it for less!
I'm in scrapbooking, however I've never charged anyone. I did a project for a client that I had when I was working for him. However I did that for free.
I've done albums for us as a family. If she is wanting something simple for the scrapbook and the pictures organized. I would say $50-75 dollars. If she wants the scrapbook more elaborate and fancy and organizing pictures, I would say $150-$175. Scrapbooks and photo albums are time consuming and you can really spend a lot of time/energy organizing them and money on them too! I'm guessing what I would charge if someone asked me to do it.
Hi B.,
This sounds like an additional service that you can add to your organizing business. I would like to be a client when you have decided on a price. I have tons of photos.....all in boxes. I don't need anything elaborate for them all, but there are some that I would like to have scrapbooked. Contact me when you are ready.
Thanks
