I have a client who has used us twice in the past. She inquired about October 24th which is an in demand date. I do have DJs available, but she wants the same price as last time, AND that price was the same price as the time before that years ago. I tried to explain to her that it's an in demand date, and if she were throwing the party the night before (On Friday which has no demand) I'd be happy to offer her the same price as last time, but can't do it on this particular Saturday.
The price I quoted her is $215 higher than the price she paid in May DJ, which is the same price she paid when she booked a DJ through me back in 2011. Even at $215 higher I feel I am still giving her a good price for a 4 hour Halloween party.
Some clients just never want to pay more than they paid for a service one time. I wish my bills could always stay the same too! Just a bit of a rant. ...I might be losing her to another DJ service over asking for more money, but it is what it is. ..I even offered to throw in a low lying effect fog machine since it is a Halloween Party, but she didn't care or even say thanks for the offer. Just wants the same cheap price.
