FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have lowered my rate down to $150/hr for covid. Generally unless the job is very large I use the ‘ hope polish model,’ that eradicates very time consuming and extensive hours you will pay for. The initial consul station is free then I start w packages ( so cost are somewhat uo print and you have a set time snd when that’s expired you purchase another packet. Designers get paid fir about half of the hours they actually out in. I can discount the packages further w covid and do some work remotely. Client does get my trade discount , but I do not take a percentage.
