upselling Gobo monogram projection

[sobi]

Pretty simple and straight forward... I'm wondering how much you guys charge for Gobo projection for weddings? I've checked out prices for gobos, and the cheapest I've seen is about 80 bucks. Doesn't seem like there's much room to get a gobo, and still turn a decent profit.

Use a dlp projector and a cheap netbook. Then do your own gobos in your photo / illistrator type software of choice.

It works out to be around $400-$500 for a monogram after charges for the monogram creation, projector, stand/truss to mount it on, cabling, and labor.

We harger 150 but are raising our rates to 175 next year. If they want a glass gobo its 450$

I do $350... but I will cut it to $250 if they are already paying me for a lighting system that has fixtures that can handle a gobo.

I create and ship over 350 custom steel gobos every year. Most of my clients are getting $ 150.00 or more. Your market area would be one of the higher priced I should think.

anyone use the nlfx pro gobo service? i just got some intimidator 300 leds and they have replaceable gobo's and they seem to have the lowest price

I rep for Apollo Design which to my knowledge is the only gobo manufacture that laser etches the gobos as apposed to acid etching. A much more enviromently friendly process. It costs a little more but the product is better and Art Proofs are always free.

You charge clients 400-500 dollars?

Again, it depends upon your market and the level of customer your service attracts. If you're a DJ that charges $ 400.00 for a wedding you won't get 4 or 5 hundred for a gobo. If your service starts say at $ 1200.00 or more then adding several hundred for a custom gobo isn't much of a stretch.
