So, those of you who don\'t ever give any $$ discounts... do you ever \"throw in\" stuff? Whether it be extra time, an extra album spread, upgrade in print size... etc etc
I\'m just curious where the line is drawn here.
My opinion, as this happened to me when I first started out and at the end of the day I paid to shoot that wedding.
I would never just \"throw in\" stuff. I\'ll work things into a package, but I feel like if I say, \"I\'ll throw that in too,\" they are going to start grinding me down on other things and then where does it stop? Then a demand is made, you say \"sorry that\'s not included\" and all of the sudden you\'re a bad guy for saying no.
We don\'t offer discounts or throw in stuff. We simply offer the products at the cost that we think they our worth for our work. We feel confident that they\'re worth at least what we charge, so \'throwing things in\' just devalues everything in my opinion.
Don\'t get me wrong, we work our butt off for our clients and will always do everything possible to overdeliver on our time and effort. But I think its important to charge appropriately for what the products are worth.
