Then you come to a point that you doubt things when people ask you questions...can make you crazy!Waterrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422788758188500128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751285215938850138.post-34366794530259158952009-01-28T17:36:00.000-08:002009-01-28T17:36:00.000-08:00Great advice.

I've not just been burned by random people out there in the world, but by people who were supposedly my friends. As such, the only person now who gets custom orders without a deposit is my mother-in-law, who is my best customer and totally good for it.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398414928556655066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751285215938850138.post-66034798458872851342009-01-28T09:23:00.000-08:002009-01-28T09:23:00.000-08:00That's great advice, Pam.

As usual you get it and aren't intimidated to put it out there unabashed.<BR/><BR/>I have been guilty of talking about an order without placing it (yet). My motive is to purchase, but sadly lack the freedom to spend as selfishly as I'd like (you've no idea how expensive diapers are for three small bums).<BR/><BR/>Fortunately I don't do custom orders right now. I got burned a few times professionally as a graphic designer, and then stopped taking new clients.<BR/><BR/>xox<BR/>DiDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482730859647987624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751285215938850138.post-3308050573734500322009-01-28T09:14:00.000-08:002009-01-28T09:14:00.000-08:00I totally agree, but I think it can be really hard...I totally agree, but I think it can be really hard for new sellers to understand, especially when potential clients will say things like, "well, I want to see what it's going to look like before I agree to buy it from you". So many buyers don't really understand how buying custom is supposed to work that it's easy for eager to please new sellers to get caught in that trap.Crescentwenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596564805255382711noreply@blogger.com
