When The Client Wants Everything For Free
Had a client meeting today where they literally said "We want the website, the app, the branding, and the marketing campaign. But we're a startup, so we can't really pay much." When I asked what their budget was, they said "exposure and experience." I wanted to say "My landlord doesn't accept exposure as payment," but instead I just smiled and said we'd get back to them. Sometimes I wonder if clients think we survive on air and good vibes.
