Thank you for this blog. I did wedding and party planning for several years . People want nice things, but they didn't want to pay for them. I got in trouble because I was putting out more then they were paying because I felt that it represented me. Now I realize that my time is valuable and I'm not gonna do it. Keep Designing Your Way Through Life. May God continue to Bless you

I was guilty of that too. What I have decided now, is if it doesn't represent me from the beginning I won't take the job and I even let the potential client know I have to put out work that represents me and let them know how much they are going to have to spend to get to that point. And sometimes I still like to do extra stuff they didn't ask for because thats just who I am and I love to create, but it is because I want to, and not because I have to.

I couldn't agree more! When you're starting out, you're so eager to build a portfolio and just take on jobs that you price yourself low JUST TO GET THE JOB. Just like you, I have learnt the hard way and now choose to follow my head a lot more than my heart when it comes to business and place the VALUE on my time and creativity that is deserved. Good work ain't cheap and cheap work will get you bankrupt. 🔊

They want a filet mignon design with hamburger money lol. I too am in party decorating and at times I get so frustrated because people really don't know the amount of work that it takes to create what they're asking for. I totally value my work and ideas and I make sure that what I put out is a representation of me. I have priced less than what I should at times but like you said "we learned he hard way" lol, but continue your journey and now you have another tag along...loving it. Gob Bless.

OMG!!!!! Finally someone who gets it... I charged someone $150 for balloon garland that clearly was worth more. As soon as i give my price i get the well thats a bit much just to pop the balloons at the end of the night. I do have to say when they see it they see its worth the money. It takes so much time to create, transport etc. Not to mention good quality balloons are not cheap! Thank you for posting this because it made me feel like I am not alone with how i feel. I do feel like I am taken advantage of because i want their event to sometime be better than what it is, so i over do things and even sometimes use my own supplies and not charge. I need to do better stick with it and if i am not hired then i know the job was not for me. Thank you so much This was a very encouraging vlog God Bless!

I swear everything you stated is what I've been through too. So glad to know I'm not alone & I'm not being unreasonable ☺. It's taken me years to fully understand that some people are just not our customers, sometimes the more you try to adjust and low-ball your prices to please folks... the more hassle it is in the long run. It's never worth it. Educating them is key. Explaining the reality of what materials, labor, & travel costs has helped me greatly. People love & favor how the intricate work looks but their budget is more in the basic category. Which is why it's essential to start with a basic package to show them the value in upgrading to create the look they wanted.

I just started doing creations for small events and you're right, when you're first starting out and you want to build a clientele, you try to charge more affordable prices but then you get these clients who wants more done but doesn't want to increase their budget. I told myself it'll be the last time I'm charging for less, that I'll be firm with my prices on the next client. Ahhhhhh! You are such an inspiration!

I value my time, experience and effort and I am single mom.

Oh my gosh these garlands are so stunning, you’re so talented!!! And I really loved your chat about pricing.... I’ve recently started an event and wedding planning business and you’re so right, it’s really easy to sell ourselves short just because we want to work and want to get our name out there, but our time is so valuable!! I need to keep reminding myself that charging more, having fewer clients, and having more free time is much better than working on a hundred events a year for no money lol. Thanks so much for this video =)

$50????? I'm sorry, but you must see your worth and time. That is way to low. I don't do this kind of work but my daughter is an MUA and when I tell you that I admire her work ethic! You have to charge your worth and you will attract the correct clientele. She always says that she targets a certain clientele and goes for it. Stop selling yourself short. You have talent and believe in yourself.

If people want a cheaper price then they need to find someone that fits that. Not expect someone with higher quality and skill to accept less. There is a reason your work looks the way it does and people should be more than happy to pay you for your talent. Can't wait to watch some more of your videos.

I also rent Uhaul vans for my events and have been eating that cost. I charge $300 as a flat fee for my services and charge supplies according to the client’s budget. I need to sit and rethink my pricing structure.

I've been doing small parties and balloon garlands here and there and it just seems like I've literally been getting taken advantage of. People always want something for nothing and they don't care about your time! And just like you said, they see another person get a service and always feel like theirs should be of equal value but they don't want to pay for it! I believe that when you decide to call/book a planner, you should be willing to pay for the service. So again, thank you for the transparent tips you shared, really helpful!

Thank you for sharing Miss Lady. I'm new to balloon designs. Do you have a preface of the fishing line you use? I've seen 12 lb and now your 15 lb. Is there a big difference? "What was I saying?"....that was funny when you came back and forgot what you were talking about... lol. You made me chuckle...lol. Do you have an actual price list you could show me with your fees on it, as a guide? Thank you again.

Great video ..beautiful garland. You forgot to mention one important thing , when you are pricing your garlands to take into consideration the time of the person or people who help you deliver or setup the garland. Their time is valuable too. Here are other are things -Outside events are a pain..the heat will make some balloons pop and glue not hold...you will get extra tired outside than working indoors. -Venues with no easy parking like hotels 😱..you will waste sooo much time just to park!!! Some places you may have to pay for parking. -If you are installing the garland on other people backdrops..they don't usually get there on time and often they expect you to help putting the backdrop together or do it all by yourself🥴. Either way you end uo wasting time... This is why on my future events I will only install on my own backdrops.

Danm! I love this video. My sister and I have made some for our private events and people are like you should make it a business. We have had people ask to make some. I throw out what I feel is a fair price.and they are like no thank it's to much. I'm like I'm sorry this is time consuming and we get good quality balloons. People what it but don't want to pay. Thank you very much for all the advice. Thank you means alot.!!

Its okay at first, because you have to build your portfolio and get the experience, or maybe even try something new. But once you got it, stop playing those games immediately! lol

Thank you for doing this video I really appreciated it because I have been selling myself short and been taking a lot of time energy and everything else to do events. And it seem like I wasn’t making any money from it. So thank you for the tip about delivery charge Charging extra for additional colors. I wasn’t sure about how my pricing should be but thank you for this.

I learned the hard way I figured I would share from my experiences too potentially help others. I hated the feeling of being taken advantage of and wanting to give up, especially with something that is my passion. Then I had to realize I was doing it to myself. People will only do to us what we allow.

This was absolutely amazing! I am struggling with pricing now as well. I love to create and I feel like I want to take on jobs just for the exposure and end up under selling myself! I live in Atlanta as well (loganville) and see that people absolutely love balloons in this area. Keep up the great work and I hope to see more informational videos like this one soon.
