If you are providing concierge-type service (i.e. very nice classroom with real coffee, not from a Keurig, fresh pastries, ATV ride to the range, etc.) you might be able to charge a premium for your small-class setup.Ruark wrote:I'm thinking such instruction would be more expensive than group instruction. For example, if 8 students paid $125 each, that would be $1,000. That's not the case with a single student. Would you charge a lone individual the same as for a group?
I prefer small classes simply because they're more personal and, to me, more fun to do. And since I'm not relying upon the classes for a large portion of my income, I want to keep the charges about what someone would pay at one of the local ranges for a big, unpersonalized, class.
Of course, if I ran into more expenses doing the one or two person classes, those expenses would get passed along to the student - something that's split 20 ways (20 students) would be a lot more expensive if it's split between just one or two students, though.
