You need to determine your cost and time factored in. Figure how much it will cost you to make one. Now you can sell them for 1.5 to 4 times this price. The selling price should be determined by the community and the ready fund they can afford to buy each one for. Don't overprice them because you won't be able to sell them off. Keep them within range, so people can afford to buy them from you.
This sounds like fun. We have had something similar but found out that not everybody has the same idea as to what a church tea party really is.
I believe our biggest "pitfall" is having to cover a volunteer that does not/cannot follow-through with their project. This does happen and it takes a lot of follow-up before the tea to try and make sure everyone is still on board.
It was difficult to determine the exact cost of ingredients as part would be bought and part donated. Utility usage was never included but I think maybe that is a mistake as there are always several hours of heat, electricity, water that are just added to the church expenses and we never know the true cost or profit that is made.
In the end we would have to really just do our best and brainstorm as to what "we" would pay for something like this as well as what our members may be willing to pay.
Thank you so much! You have given me a lot to work with.
God Bless You!
It depends on how much profit you want the church to make, if any. In business, you charge 2 to 4 times your cost.
