They're still thinking of the design as a final product they're trying to get as cheap as possible.<br /><br />They don't realise that it's not viable for a professional to create a logo for an incredibly low price simply because of the amount of work that goes into it.<br /><br />Sadly when these 'logo supermarkets' are claiming to offer the same level of design as a professional, which a lot of people don't realise simply isn't true.Paul Murrayhttp://www.paulmurraydesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099402.post-60772347366008435702011-11-28T11:33:50.549-08:002011-11-28T11:33:50.549-08:00Succinct and to the point, you've described th...Succinct and to the point, you've described the dollar store mental behavior completely. I've found that these are the same people who will make a million changes and expect unrealistic deadlines too. Thankfully, I'm in the position to not take on clients like this any more. For me it's all about having a meaningful business relationship with clients that appreciate the difference between dollar store crap and Pottery Barn finery.Danita Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991825637377958240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099402.post-55734382093242375632011-11-25T17:42:31.750-08:002011-11-25T17:42:31.750-08:00Ronnie, I saw your post yesterday on Facebook and ...Ronnie, I saw your post yesterday on Facebook and read this. Thought it was spot-on and very well written. I read part of it to my husband as we were driving in the car, actually. I especially liked the memorable line, "The poor pay twice." My husband even got to use it on me last night when I complained about the service I was getting from a vendor I hired . . . sheesh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099402.post-17981547424362369762011-11-23T20:23:44.455-08:002011-11-23T20:23:44.455-08:00This is a great way to demonstrate these points.
