Clients like this are looking to save themselves money by using cheap/inferior plants/materials but expect you to make them into something amazing that cannot happen with that product. I turn these down because the headache isn't worth it.......but if you are going to do it charge them for your time.
Customer Pricing Materials
I'm sure this has been posted before, but I couldn't find it.
Customer wants a simple flower bed done. Found all of the prices at Lowes + Home Depot herself. She wants to just buy them herself and then give me the receipt to go pick them up.
I mark up materials even when I buy them at retail stores in order to cover travel time, taxes, etc... When my business has grown in size I certainly will not be doing this type of thing, and I don't want to start with her. How do you all go about this type of thing?
