I know how it feels to really want to do a job, but at the same time not to compromise on your pricing just so that you can get it. Personally, I have come to the conclusion that there is a certain minimum level of quality below which I refuse to go. Which is accompanied by a particular price that a client has to pay in order to get it. If they are not happy with that, then I refuse to take them on as clients and move on to the next one.<BR/><BR/>There's this <A HREF="http://digitalprotalk.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">blog</A> which I read that has some great gems on wedding photography, with a few posts touching on the business end of things. He has written a series of posts <A HREF="http://digitalprotalk.blogspot.com/2008/08/bbusiness-day-thursday-20-ways-to-add.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>, <A HREF="http://digitalprotalk.blogspot.com/2008/07/bbusiness-day-thursday-its-little.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> and <A HREF="http://digitalprotalk.blogspot.com/2008/07/bbusiness-day-thursday-7-really-easy.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> that touch on various things you can do to add value to your offerings that won't break the bank for you. He also has a <A HREF="http://digitalprotalk.blogspot.com/2008/07/good-enough-is-buying-trend-dont-be-one.html" REL="nofollow">great post</A> where he rails against people that settle for "Good Enough". The risk of doing that, as he points out, is that you will settle for people who will want to pay "Good Enough" prices for mediocre work. He suggests that instead of that, aim for the highest quality you can provide at comensurate prices, and those that can afford it will come to you.<BR/><BR/>And so I agree, do revise your plan. Target those that appreciate quality and are not afraid to pay for it. If someone wants a wedding photographer who won't charge them anything just so that the photographer can earn money some other way, then let them go ahead and get that type. But don't feel pressured to do the same just so that you can get clients. Much easier said than done, but much better for you in the long run.<BR/><BR/>All the best!egmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727529987048093242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2333594859459488779.post-74684910858086308542008-08-22T14:02:00.000+01:002008-08-22T14:02:00.000+01:00By the way, I was criticising the rival that's sto...By the way, I was criticising the rival that's stooping low and not you. <BR/><BR/>Good luck.Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00243678486782780526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2333594859459488779.post-85501010296974526432008-08-22T02:37:00.000+01:002008-08-22T02:37:00.000+01:00Whatever happened to professional courtesy?Might b...Whatever happened to professional courtesy?<BR/><BR/>Might be a good idea to look at diversifying your target market.Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00243678486782780526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2333594859459488779.post-32717394853968610262008-08-22T01:10:00.000+01:002008-08-22T01:10:00.000+01:00@prettylyf.
