The 3 C’s Pricing Framework

My pricing is based on three factors: Content, Complexity, and Conditions.

Content refers to the physical elements of the design itself—balloons, specialty finishes, florals, signage, and any materials required to build the installation.

Complexity reflects how much time, skill, and precision the design requires, including build time, installation effort, and overall execution difficulty.

Conditions are external, location-dependent factors that affect how the job is executed rather than what is being built—such as time constraints, access limitations, transport requirements, venue rules, weather exposure, or the need for additional labor.

Together, these three factors determine the appropriate pricing tier for each installation.
