Decorate with Vintage Posters

 

Roger Gerle Poster 

According to French historian Max Gallo, "for over two hundred years, posters have been displayed in public places all over the world. Visually striking, they have been designed to attract the attention of passers-by, making us aware of a political viewpoint, enticing us to attend specific events, or encouraging us to purchase a particular product or service."

Value Based Fees Class
Begins October 21, 2009

Designers! What's your biggest challenge besides getting more clients?

 

Many designers say that one of the biggest problems is that clients are more cost conscious than ever.  Are your clients watching their expenses and questioning the bills from you?   

 

Have you ever had a client ask you why you bill for your time and for a mark-up?  Have your clients ever called it double-dipping?


 

Here's an important message from Gail Doby, ASID of Design Success University:


 

I've personally had that question in the past, and I've felt frustrated that they didn't understand how much work it takes to coordinate, price, order, follow-up, invoice, pay bills, etc.  Clients really don't care what it takes for us to get the job done. Your clients just want to pay a fair price for what they regard as a commodity.

 

Why fight the battle?  What if you could truly provide a service and get paid for your value instead of worrying about whether you could pay your bills by getting paid for a mark up.

 

I've been thinking about this for years, and just in the last few months, I've finally found a solution.  It's not new, and it isn't my original idea.

 

I learned this from a million dollar consultant who has taught others in many different industries to make more money and remove the conflict over fees.

 

Would you like to make more money, work less and have less stress?
