Don’t compliment my work, acknowledge the value I bring, and then tell me my prices are too high. As a graphic designer and #creativeentrepreneur, one of the most frustrating things about running a business is having a potential client tell me that my prices don’t match “what other designers in the area charge” while also complimenting my work and acknowledging what value I bring. It’s one thing to tell me that you cannot pay what I charge or that your budget is not aligned, or even to ask for a breakdown of my quote (that’s fine), but don’t insult my value by undermining my prices. If YOU truly don’t believe that my services are not worth $$$ that’s fine. If I get a quote that I can’t afford, I don’t try to neg the service provider😂 #blackart #blackentrepreneur #blackhistorymonth And yes I’m tagging this under Black History Month, because why not pay a Black female creative pro what she’s worth?
Yes!! Now that's a word!
Imo the price is the price. If I can't afford it I let the person know. IF they are generous enough to work with me on adjusting the price that's dope BUT I never expect it.
I Support you 1,000% Gabi on your pricing decisions for your work as a Creative Professional. #KnowYourWorthAlways #EachOneTeachOne #EachOneReachOne #ItTakesAVillage #BlackIllustration #CreativeBIPOC
