Blick Creative Fieldtrip – Pricing Your Creative Work

In this Creative Fieldtrip, designed specifically for Ulster University Enterprise Placement Year students, we’ll tackle one of the biggest challenges facing creatives starting out: How to Price Your Creative Work, whether you’re selling products or services.

Pricing your creative work isn’t easy, and there’s no one-size-fits-all formula. It’s about finding a balance between your costs and time, what other creatives charge, your level of experience and what people are willing to pay. It can also depend on how much you want to take on a particular project and the opportunities it might offer you to learn, develop your skills or build your portfolio.

Ultimately, pricing is a personal process, and one you’ll need to regularly review and revisit as your creative practice grows and evolves.

This is a closed event for Ulster University students
