I spent countless hours with a client and endless tiny alterations and "tweaking" the design that she had drawn, another crown , another cape, ect.. only to see that she had a new dress for Nationals, not mine... that's loyalty for ya" - charge what you can get, your work is as good as the big DMs" on Saturday, July 05, 08:59:41pm [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date I'm sorry yoiu had to deal with that MJ. I noticed that many DM's don't do consultations or spend much time "working" with their future client unless a deposit is paid for which is partly non-refundable. I have often found this a harsh way of dealing with clients, but am finding out more and more this is the way to go to avoid these timewasters... (NT) small DM with similar problems Sunday, July 06, 02:18:30am and to add on...ever noticed how some DM's only have a website with an orderform that just allows you to pay for a deposit? Many orderforms need to be returned with cc info or cheque and THEN the order process starts.... (NT) -- same dm, Sunday, July 06, 02:21:04am How unbelievably tacky of her. (NT) bleh Sunday, July 06, 09:10:24am Maybe their TC told her she had to get a BN dress for Nationals, and she was embarrassed. People flip out before Majors. (NT) Buyer of USED small DM dresses :) Sunday, July 06, 09:44:46am Then the proper thing to do would be to explain this to the DM instead of letting her find out the way she did. (NT) -- shameful behavior, Sunday, July 06, 01:03:06pm I had the same thing happen to me. Client had already agreed to design and colors, and I was to bring contract after a weeks holiday so she could sign. Client came back from holidays saying:" well I am really sorry but grandma bought a dress for my daughter last week". I was very lucky I did not have time to order all the fabrics before this message came. (NT) -- At least she told me in person., Sunday, July 06, 03:12:07pm NAAA - this school's parents are a "cult." Don't expect anything but one more reason to have an "alert" list. (NT) -- MJ, Sunday, July 06, 09:22:04pm As you would like to avoid certain customers, perhaps I would like to avoid certain dressmakers. (NT) -- ., Wednesday, July 09, 12:56:37pm and they would probably like to avoid you - who remains anonymous - scared to "vet" your name???? (NT) -- td, Wednesday, July 09, 08:04:28pm
