+ Do you ever worry about where your next project will come from?
+ Do you get nervous or have doubts about how to price your work?
+ Do you wonder how to find new clients?
If so, this half day workshop is for you!
Whether you are a seasoned designer or just starting out, it’s common – and natural – to worry about where your next project will come from, how to price your work and how to find the right clients. But these worries don’t have to be all-consuming.
Direct from the recent HOW Design Conference, Ilise Benun, co-founder of Marketing-Mentor.com and co-author of The Designer’s Guide to Marketing and Pricing, will present a half-day marketing and pricing workshop packed with practical advice that will help you take your design business to the next level. You will learn how to:
+ Find your ideal clients: the ones who value design and are willing to pay for it
+ Choose the right marketing strategy and tools – then put them on auto-pilot!
+ Talk to clients about money (that dreaded topic)
+ Create and present winning proposals (you know, the ones that get you the job)

+ What makes a good typeface
