Jenny Fillius you got it wrong. It was JP Morgan and he said “ If you have to ask the price you probably can’t afford it”.

I post prices on my website on a special page, and prices are clearly available on every photo when looking in my photo galleries. I have a presence, but am not very active on Pinterest. The majority of my marketing is done through my website & bog, newlsetter, and art festivals and especially with followups to those potential customers – and everyone is emailed pricing. I haven’t been too focused on social media lately – it is not where the majority of my customers come from.

Actually, even the gift section mostly doesn’t have prices that I can see…

But I don’t know where you’re seeing those prices on Pinterest! I searched “blouses” for instance, and nothing that comes up on my feed has prices! http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=blouses

You guys have got to get over this fear of selling. That’s kind of what we’re talking about when you use the words “tacky” and “blatant.” Would you feel the same about anything else with prices on Pinterest?
What’s wrong with blatant prices attached? That’s how things are sold.
Beth Hayden adds, “When you add prices to your pins, they may be featured in Pinterest’s “Gifts” section.”

Hey, Julia! After reading this post I thought I would also try listing my prices on my Pinterest boards. But I quickly took them down again for a couple of reasons. One was the very thought you had – cringe – my work is the only stuff with blatant prices attached. Secondly, what if I decide to change the prices or the item is sold? So my compromise is to make sure my website is listed in every picture description and if people like the work they can visit my site where prices are posted prominently. Maybe not ideal but I feel more comfortable with this.

Just coming to this conversation — but Matt, other than on your website on a special page, I don’t see that you do post prices — not on Pinterest, anyway, nor Facebook. So now I’m confused! Have you read something or gotten feedback that changed your mind? I know it’s been a few months…
