10 THINGS CLIENTS DO THAT EVERY DESIGNER SECRETLY HATE AND WISH THEY WOULD STOP
Almost every designer keeps a happy face all the time with clients but wish the client stops doing the following things👇👇
1. CHANGING THE DESIGN AFTER PRODUCTION HAS STARTED
It is better to decide what you want before cutting begins.
2. SENDING A PICTURE AND SAYING : “Do exactly this.”
Every design needs to be adapted to the client's body, fabric, and budget.
3. BRINGING FABRIC AT THE LAST MINUTE
Delays in providing materials can cause stress and also affect your delivery date.
4. COMPARING ONE DESIGNERS PRICE WITH ANOTHER
Different designers have different skills, finishing standards, overhead costs, and experience. All of that can affects price
5. EXPECTING A DESINER TO COPY ANOTHER DESIGNERS WORK PERFECTLY
Inspiration is fine, but every designer has their own techniques and limitations.
6. COMING FOR MEASUREMENT IN VERU BULKY CLOTHING
This might cause mistake in measurements
Proper measurement requires appropriate clothing and cooperation.
7. CHANGING THE DEADLINE TO A CLOSER DATE after agreeing on one.
“I need it tomorrow” should not become the designer's emergency.
8. CONSTANTLY CALLING OR TEXTING FOR UPDATE
Trust the process and agree on a reasonable update schedule.
9. NEGOTIATING THE PRICE AFTER THE WORK IS FINISHED
Discuss and agree on the price before production begins.
10. COLLECTING THE OUTFIT WITHOUT CHECKING THE FITTING
Try it on, communicate any genuine fitting issue, and allow the designer to correct it professionally.
A great client-designer relationship is built on three things:
1. Clear communication,
2. mutual respect, and
3. keeping agreed terms.
