I just received notice from SewBatik.com that they are having to increase their prices. Every business in this industry that I know is trying to hold the line on costs without affecting quality. We also can not expect them to absorb the costs forever.
which is exactly why you should go ahead and increase your costs now..not much, but enough to pad the bank account a bit better for next year, which by the way will be worse!
The cost of everything is going up, even your utilities to run that machine..an extra $.50 per yard for batting is not going to make or break the customer.
It will however determine how well YOU stay in business next year!
