One more thing...I've had several people tell me that discounting makes
you appear, ah, cheap. As in used-car dealer cheap (sorry dad).
It was suggested to me that instead of trying to lower or discount
prices in order to sign people up, I should offer freebies or
incentives.
So, to encourage people to get their print orders back to me more
quickly, I tell them they can have a few extra 8x10's if they order
within a month of receiving the proofs.
Just throwing the idea out there, I'm no business guru.
