Before We Begin . . .

The goal is not to tell people what they should charge but rather the value of what they are selling. It is important to keep in mind that you must shop your market, at least to understand with whom and what you are competing. Be sure to compare apples to apples. It is not necessary to compete on price alone. If your product is more expensive AND the value of that product far outweighs your competition, then you should be charging more. Never be afraid of price. Fear producing a product that doesn’t create a lasting memorable experience. You get one chance to make a terrific memory for the next 4 or 14 or 40-year-old that chooses your facility to have a birthday party.
