Design Fees and Legacy Clients

When old clients come back to work with you again, how do you tell them that your fees have changed since the first time you worked together?If you’ve been here before, you’ll know that I teach designers how to get paid what they’re worth. One of the first things we always work on in that process is design fees. Getting your design fees nailed down isn’t too hard, but communicating those fees and sticking to them is harder, especially when you’re dealing with returning clients who were familiar with your old prices. When one of your early clients wants to work with you again, you might be tempted to charge them the same as when you first worked together. I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to do that. Your clients don’t expect your fees to stay the same forever! You’re the only one putting that expectation on yourself. Topics covered in this episode include:What to do when an old client comes back but your fees have gone up Why it’s important for your fees to reflect your growth How to communicate changes to your clientsIf you feel nervous about telling returning clients your new design fees, you’re in the right place. Tune in for a pep talk from me and my advice on how to charge returning clients.
