Hi all,
I have just won a great freelance job for a very successful cafe (they have won a lot of food awards and are very 'hip'). I have completed work for them on a rebrand and a menu design, and some window decal. All charged (although I have gone about 5 hours over).
They recently asked me to 'throw' an invitation together, which i have done as a gesture of goodwill.
However now they have got in touch asking 'if I want a beer bottle label on my CV'. I.E, another job for free. I really want to keep the relationship as there is a great possibility of future work (they are opening another branch and are writing a cookbook) but I don't want to be taken the mick out of either! Also, the beer is getting made at a local brewery (that I have also recently pitched for work for) so it's all connections.
I am thinking of going back to them and saying if they know what they want, I will do it half price. I am currently only charging £30 an hour, £210 a day, I am thinking I need at least 2 days on it. So £200 half price. But I don't want to lose the job. How would you handle it?
Thanks,
Mandy
