🎯 Price the Outcome, Not the Tool

Clients are not paying for AI generation. They are paying for:

artistic direction

concept and storytelling

curation and refinement

emotional impact

Your price should reflect the final result, not the software used.

🎨 Understand Your Market Position

Pricing depends on positioning. Ask yourself:

Is it generic or personalized?

Is it digital-only or physical?

Clarity in positioning leads to clarity in pricing.
