Question: I normally charge $300 for my services. But, I am offering a promotion at $75. I need a few models for marketing purposes so I thought this price would be a win-win. I will still perform the same level of service as my $300 service. In exchange, the client would release the photos for my upcoming social media campaigns. However, a few people have told me that they don’t think it’s fair that they have to pay if they are a model. What should I do?
Answer: Pricing is one of the trickiest areas when you are a service-based business. You have probably spent thousssssannnddds on education, supplies, and learning your craft. But clients don’t know the blood, sweat, and tears that you have put into learning and perfecting your skills.
They consider price based on their understanding.
I’ll say it again – good people often want lower prices based on THEIR understanding of the service.
