This week we discuss pricing with Corey Dodd, founder and operator of boutique graphic design studio Elk Creative. So how much should you charge for a logo? Or for a website? What if a client doesn’t have the budget available? When should we talk about money with a prospect? The truth is, there isn’t a single approach that will work every time. A range of factors will determine which way to go. But there are some tips we can share with you from our personal experiences. Tune in to find out. Lil nugs: Calculate minimum fees before going into a conversation with a potential client. Always discuss price during the first conversation. It’s okay to not work on every project opportunity that comes through. The budget isn’t always available. Sometimes the fit just isn’t there. It is better to identify this early.
