Pricing Systems and Methods

Hello just made a feature request on http://uservoice.com/a/2afgW for a Pricing Template system.
I was wondering how others price their work? Do you use a spreadsheet to see what would happen and check to make sure your still profitable before issuing coupons or price changes? Also do you consider the cost of having an account and the % on sale price that smugmug bills when pricing? Do you change prices seasonally or phase out galleries by adjusting price before removing the gallery or just take it down.

Thank for all the feedback.

PS I have made an entire spreadsheet of all the products and prices smugmug had for good from EZ prints so I could do this my self but I thought it would be nice to hear how others are doing it and if smugmug could add a feature to the site to make pricing more effective.

    Use a free service like drop.io to share the file.

    How do you screenshot formulas? A spreadsheet might look nice, but unless you can work with it with your own prices, it means nothing.

    Would Love a spreadsheet from smugmug with all prints & products from both EZ & Bay. Would make it so much simpler.
