FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing varies, but it's based on several factors from how many are attending the event, what needs to be done, how many hours it will take to get everything done, how much material is needed to cover event, etc. What if it's a day of Coordinator service or sometimes customers just need a dozen vases with flowers, for example.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I begin each pitch asking my customers basic questions, such as what's the event in celebration of? What date? what time? location? How much set up time has been alloted between them and venue? is it their home? Can I see pics of the space I'm working with? Can you send pics of your vision? How many will be attending? What's your color scheme? Once the initial conversation has been had, and customer are comfortable with what I can offer and my charges, we agree to move forward verbally to step two, which includes setting up a contract includes my agreed upon responsiblities to them, but also highlights their payment commitment. A down payment is made of 35 to 50 percent. In most cases three payments are required or two is sometimes established.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Decorating is a natural talent. I have honed my skills through the experience over the years and working along with and watching other designers do their art.
