Costs for course packets

Straight from the horse's mouth....

---------------

Hi Court,

Thanks for thinking about doing a packet. I don't have a brochure with prices necessarily, but here is how my costs breakdown:

Production:
$0.03 per copied page (double sided or single sided doesn't matter I get charged per copy)
$0.14 for front & back cover in cardstock
$0.60-$2.00 depending on binding and size of packet

Royalties:

Average permission is $0.15 per page - there are always differences so what we do is stay in contact with you letting you know the costs of the various items, that way you can add/delete items along the way. Permissions typically take 4-6 weeks to secure and the closer we get to the start of a semester the longer they can take. We won't print a packet until we have the final OK so if you just wanted to create a "wish list" of items for a packet and edit based upon cost as we go along that is entirely OK.

Price Markup/Margin on Packets:
The more a packet costs me the lower the margin added.
$0.00-$7.00 will have a 40% margin
$7.01-$30.00 will have a 30% margin
$30.01 - + will have a 20% margin

I will be happy to meet with you about specifics if you want, just let me know.
