Appearance Fees

Also any other Ideas, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Mike __________________ "I cherish the Hammer of Thor, but I praise the hand of God" |

Demo fees
Hi Mike!
What I usually do is ask for travel expenses, plus time. Travel is pretty cut and dry, but each maker may rate his/her time differently. Generally when you see hammer-in fees that are $100+ per person, you can bet that the host is making very little........nearly all the money is going to the visiting maker(s) who are demonstrating. __________________ WWW.CAFFREYKNIVES.NET Caffreyknives@gmail.com "Every CHOICE has a CONSEQUENCE, and all your CONSEQUENCES are a result of your CHOICES." |

Thanks Ed, on your time, is that considered hourly, or by the demo, by the trip? Just wondering how most folks figure this.
Thanks for the imput! Mike __________________ "I cherish the Hammer of Thor, but I praise the hand of God" |

figuring your time.....
Mike,
I figure my time by the day. Basically I charge the same for demos as I do for my classes.....if you go to my sight, and break my class fees down into "per day" you'll have what I charge.......that is on top of travel expenses. __________________ WWW.CAFFREYKNIVES.NET Caffreyknives@gmail.com "Every CHOICE has a CONSEQUENCE, and all your CONSEQUENCES are a result of your CHOICES." |
