PCL

By industry

Website for a furniture maker

Bespoke work sells on detail. Photos of joints, timbers and finishes show why your cabinet costs twice the flat-pack — and why that is fair.

In short

  • Work per timber and per piece
  • Enquiry with dimensions, room and use
  • Lead time and process clear in advance

How it works in this industry

Bespoke work competes with a shop cabinet costing a tenth. You do not sell that difference with the word 'craft' but with detail: the joint, the grain, the drawer still running smoothly after ten years. Photos of those details do what copy cannot.

Clients also consistently underestimate lead times. Giving an indication per commission — a cabinet in eight weeks, a table in six — prevents disappointment and attracts the client willing to wait for something that lasts.

What usually goes wrong

  • Photos without detail, making the price hard to justify
  • Enquiries without dimensions or room
  • Clients underestimating bespoke lead times

Describe what you have in mind and PCL will tell you what it costs and what it returns.

What to look for when choosing

  4. 04Do you explain per timber what it means for price and care?

Frequently asked questions

Can I show lead times per commission?

Yes, as an indication per type of work. That avoids disappointing people who want it in two weeks.

How do I get good enquiries?

By asking for dimensions, room and use, with a photo. That often lets you quote a range straight away.

Should I state prices for bespoke work?

A from-price per piece helps. It prevents enquiries from people thinking in shop prices.

Can I sell online as well?

Yes, for standard sizes or smaller pieces. Bespoke work stays on the enquiry route.
