What interior designers are saying about DesignFiles
"It has tripled my business"
I currently have 11 projects going and to be able to have everything organized, what we've ordered, what we've approved, being able to have all that communication with people. It's the only way I'm able to keep up with the volume of work we have right now.
If it's full service, collect 100% of the merchandise fee up front because you buy everything. And put in your contract that the practice known as shopping is cause for immediate termination of your services and a closing of the project. Be sure to explain all of that in detail during the contract signing.
If you're talking full service, then my question for you would be, have you set yourself up as the expert or are the clients leading you?
Do you know more about furniture, how it's made, what types of materials have pros and cons, can you tell them tell them the difference between eight way hand tied or spring down sofas?
The more you can show your clients that you really know your stuff, the more they will release the control and let you do your thing for them, and you'll make more money.
