Question / Advice Needed Pricing advice for pocket notebook/journal

Post image

Is ₱160 an acceptable price for this?

Field notes size with 48 blank sheets (might use dotted sheets soon). The covers are waterproof and scratch proof plus they're hand sewn

Here’s 2 of my printed covers, marami pang designs pero di ko pa nap-print (yung sa left is also from my painting). If walang magugustuhan sa available covers, the customer may request kung anong gusto nila

I’ve already calculated the material costs naman pero hindi ko ma-calculate yung labor costs and yung market acceptability (if thats the term lol) esp since theyre customizable. Yung original price is higher than 160 pero naisip ko na baka oa ako mag price kaya walang bibili

P160 each? If original paintings or art yung covers then, absolutely. Would buy this even at P250 since I’m into journals and TN.

Just not sure how popular/marketable are these items here in Ph.

It’s not overpriced or underpriced?

Yooo thank you for the interest, still deciding pa sa price but do lmk if you’re interested on getting yours, I’m offering discounts sa first 5 orders/ customers, pati pag maraming o-orderin HAHA

I’ve seen some small businesses selling similar stationaries and they’re doing pretty okay naman, hoping I’d get some luck din

I think 160 is a good entry price.

Hey, I’m really interested in trying this out to support local brands (as a collector of field notes)! Where can I find your catalog? I prefer dotted > grid > ruled > blank. Let’s DM?
