LINGERIE COST SHEET
Before you go any further this cost sheet is a “base point price cost sheet” what does that mean? It means it’s only taking into consideration the actual costs it takes to produce your lingerie, like materials and manufacturing. You need to know the bottom line cost of how much something costs so you don’t lose money. It doesn’t cover costs like overheads or your time, though there is space to add these in.
So there are three ways this Excel sheet provides you with your cost, the first one adds a wholesale price at a percentage and then a selling point on top of that. This is great if you want to see how much mark up you are making.
The second way shows you in money terms, so if you need to make the minimum of £7 per item at wholesale then it shows you want the selling point would be. All these figures can be changed in the spread sheet. The advantage with this is it lets you play around with numbers, showing you instantly what you would sell something at if you were to alter the profit higher or lower.
The third way shows you the selling point if you were to sell direct to customers, so the selling point is set at a higher percentage than the wholesale. This exercise can show you straight off if you can afford to do wholesale or what you need to alter in your figures to be able to do it.
Also on the cost sheet it works out how much fabric or trims you would need if you wanted to produce 10, 20, or 100 pieces, which is invaluable if you need to quickly place an order, and have all your costs and fabric ordering in one place.
There are two version of this cost sheet on so you can print out to A4 size so if you need to store a hard copy in a folder, and the other is digital, so has more conversion such as working out how many you need to sell before you break even, and also a chart indicating what is taking most of your money in the produciton.
Getting organised in the costing area, will save time, save money and get you to starting your own brand that but quicker.
