Here's what service providers are charging!

One of your greatest challenges as a business owner is determining what competitors are charging. Most owner-operators call competing businesses pretending to be prospective customers. Then they try to coax prices out of whoever answers the phone. This is frustrating for the company being called and time consuming for the person calling. There's a better way to get current pricing information.

We've just released the sixth edition of Hourly Rates Southern California. This handy reference shows actual prices for writing, editing, scanning, digital photography, graphic design, DTP, imaging, prepress, folding, binding, collating, multimedia, web design and other business support services including virtual assistance.

This edition of Hourly Rates Southern California represents a major upgrade from previous editions. With almost 155,000 prices in our online database from which to draw, and based on empirical testing and marketplace analysis, we've made some significant changes to the original design. Like its predecessor, prices are listed by category, city and ZIP code. But now the information is organized closely with the actual processes going from concept through design and on to print or web output. We've also added range and average price information to many service categories. And we've generated price distribution charts so you can conduct your own competitor analysis and make better pricing decisions. Not only do we show you the actual price points, the Hourly Rates book can also expose service niches that are not currently being offered by local competitors. All the while, this valuable reference provides quick insight into billing rates for services being offered in other communities.

Hourly Rates Southern California contains over 14,000 billing rates for companies within the 90xxx, 91xxx, and 92xxx postal Zip codes. It's an excellent compliment to the California Pricing Tables.

Now you can conduct competitor analysis without leaving your office, without calling competing businesses. The prices for most of these companies are already in this book! Hourly Rates Southern California is a treasure chest of valuable pricing information.

Here's how much we've upgraded Hourly Rates Southern California.

- went from 1,800 prices to 6,500 and now 14,045 prices.

- went from 100 pages to 212 pages.
