Holy cow! $150-250 for four 5′ x 4′ prints? They are getting a bargain.

I received a cold call and was offered $250 one time use fee for them to take my images and make giclees. THe follow-up email said their budget was $150 each. they want to use three paintings. They will print four 5’x 4′ prints. I like $250 much better than $150 as I will have to get the images photographed professionally. I told her I preferred to use the first price and I was interested in working with her.
It was the first time I have been brave/stupid enough to say I wanted more. We will see how it plays out. THey are beautiful paintings and the project is for summer 2016. There is plenty of time to find someone else, but I am very hopeful.

Hello Alyson, Thank you for the post. I am presently “pitching” to consultants after looking at their websites, looking for the right fit, etc. It takes an enormous amount of time to configure my email packages, and I think it will be worth it. I appreciate your continuing reminders to stay in control of pricing, and I remind myself to be honest with what I can produce/offer. Looking forward to more of your wisdom! Cherilyn

At one very happy point in time I had a few consultants and 3 galleries then the post Clinton crash which took all but one gallery. I really liked working with the consultants and am working on trying to get back on track with them. I built terrific working relationships with them and look forward to doing that again.

Ellen: Ouch! I hate that that happened to you.
But I would also hate for you to close the doors on other consultants who might treat you better.
