Image for one time use poster?

[d2creative]

I received a call from plywood company that wants to use one of my images from a local home shoot on a poster that will be displayed at a home show. Apparently their materials were used in the home.

How should I price something like this? I need to send them a quote.

Thanks!

If it's for one poster only, no reprints or ad usage, I would price it as I would a single poster sized print x three.
But that's just me.

Size should come into play. How large?

Thanks for the replies!

I didn't get exact dimensions but it sounded like it would be your typical poster size (20x30 max?) and they mentioned they would need the image to be around 1600 pixels wide which is about 22 inches if I'm calculating that correctly.

And yes, one poster, one time show. Or so they say.

My take...

Non-exclusive one time use for promotional poster imaged sized full frame of poster dimensions 20x30 - $487.00

I'm wondering how you came up to that price.
Did you just price it for the print size?

Image size (full) per poster size is a factor as is its limited usage as the original poster stated.

Zepp, thanks for the response!
I would also be interested in how you came up with that exact number... your thought process.
Is there a formula that you follow for this sort of thing? Or is something in that range just typical price for something like this in our area?

Thanks!

I priced it at about 60% of what Getty would charge for a rights managed trade show display image used for presentation purposes in the construction industry for a week. I backed up my pricing with other pricing resources.

Like I said it was my take. Others might arrive at different pricing and are welcome to voice their thoughts in this thread.

Thanks, Zepp!
I'm just trying to learn more about HOW to price stuff so the added explanation helps alot.

That site is referenced on this forum a lot. It just doesn't have pricing scenario per the original posters request.

Frank, thanks for the help!
I sent a quote for just a tad lower than you suggested but the image is sold!
Not bad for an image that was just collecting dust on my hd.

That's great! Congrats on licensing the image.
