I dont know how others may feel but I HATE the word 'discount' and I never use it!!
Maybe its something from my past but the very word sends BAD signals to me. Reminds me of cheap warehouses or goods that are not selling so they're offered at a 'discount' to get rid of them ... and hells bells, there is no way I'm worth less on one day than on another ... PLUS it doesn't make economic sense to me. :?
For instance. If I do a full set and charge $50 and I offer a discount of 10%, Ive just lost £5. BUT if I offer the client a GIFT with the service, say a bottle of nail enamel, it has only cost ME say $2.95 but the client gets a gift that would have cost HER $5-$6!! She's happy and I'm happy.
I'd rather offer a gift with service than sell myself and what I do cheap! What say you guys??
