Need help figuring out how to start a printing services

So i have a small photography business going on,and I'm planning ahead for the future. I really would like to start printing and selling photos from shoots i photograph, i.e weddings, family portraits etc. I really want to do my research before committing into something. I really don't know where to look tho. Do any of yall have experience with this sort if things? What would be some good pricing packages. Etc. Any help would be very appreciated.

 

Where you are has a lot to do with how much you can, or can't charge and what packages will, or won't be effective.
Your profile has no location information.
And your pricing really needs to be based on your cost of doing business and cost of goods sold.
Otherwise you may set your prices such you can't sell sufficient product so your total revenue exceeds your operating expenses.

When I moved from the 33rd largest city in the US to rural Iowa I had to completely re-think my pricing, package, and marketing strategies.

I found the cost of owning my own printing equipment/printing supplies and doing my own printing was a money losing proposition.
I had prints made by reputable professional print labs. I used different labs for different types of print products.
I had the prints shipped to me so I could make sure they were made properly and I packaged the prints in my branded packaging for delivery to my customers.

One of the problems with shooting different types of situations, like weddings and family portraits, is that they are packaged, priced, and sold differently.
Wedding customers often want a nice album while those wanting family portraits are wanting framed prints in various sizes.
I used one lab for albums and a different lab for portrait prints.
