Hi again to the dozen who post……sorry and you 388 viewers 🙂
Here’s a sales technique oyu probably know already:
When you do mock ups for a job, do 3 – each slightly different:
1. plain, black on white, uninspiring….tell the customer that this is what you usually do for the economy end of the market (by saying that – 9 times out of ten they won’t pick that design, because no one wants to look cheap)
2. A nice design to suit their budget – 4 colours maybe, with a shadow or something similar, "this type is most popular with medium sized companies giving a good balance of colour and excellent value for money" – They will go for this 80% of the time
3. Do a "mike the sign " style for them and charge top money for it. Saying something like…."this is what we usually do to cater for the higher end of the market – this draws the highest response from customers because of the visual appeal and the impact it creates "………sometimes they’ll go for this.
The moral of the story is:
They won’t choose no.1 – because no one wants to be seen to be cheap.
They usually pick no.2 because it’s a happy medium – cost versus appeal.
They may surprise you from time to time and choose no.3 – be inspirational with this one and charge enough too!
Now post something for christs sake…..I’m getting fed up reading my own rubbish every day!

Sounds fine in theory but it could drive a prospective customer, on a tight budget at the time, away to your competitor who will then get all the future work from the customer.
Just a thought!!
