Help Needed..... Again

Hi Everyone

As much help needed here as possible, if thats OK.......

Right then to the point......

There really isn't an easy way to say this, but my Father passed away on the 3rd of this month, having fought a long and hard struggle with Leukemia.
He passed away at The Marie Curie (Cancer care...) Centre here in Bradford, West Yorkshire.......

What has this to do with framing....????

Not sure everyone is aware, but these places, though do get local government funding, most of the funds are raised through local collecting and fundraising..........
Well I have toyed with the idea before, but have now got the initiative, to do something, to try and put back a little of what we sometimes take for granted........

I now have in place an image ( A Daffodill, which is the Marie Curie logo....) I am selling to help fund the centre, and ALL profits going to help the day to day running of the centre.
I have contacted the fundraising officer, and their initial response is very positive and they seem excited about the idea, helping with promotion etc, through their website, local newspaper, and newsletter.

Working at a printers and being a keen "amateur" framer, there is no problem producing the print or framing, but the help I am needing is with the pricing.......
I am initially going to offer it as a print/mounted/framed print, and whilst trying to make as much profit as possible also want to make sure I can sell as many as possible. This is the point I am struggling with a little, trying to raise as much as possible, but not wnting to overprice.....
The frame size is 22" x 18", and anybodies help regarding this matter would be much appreciated, and would put myself at your disposal, should anyone care to assist. Also I have an image to show, but not sure how to add........

Many Thanks in Advance

Best Regards

Jeremy

Forgot to mention, many thanks to John, for his help with the photo........
Top Man....

Also noticed, not sure I made it clear, but the photo, will be available as a print, a mounted print, and a framed print, giving three different options, so a guide on all three would be appreciated......

Once again, many thanks

Hi Jeremy,

I'm sure I speak for all on the forum when I wish you all the best with your fund raising project for this worthy cause.

As for pricing, it is difficult without seeing the finished product. It is as much about percieved value as anything else. Perhaps the Marie Curie people, being more experienced in these matters, would be able to help you better.

Beautiful picture, did you create it yourself?
