I think mainstream clients are definitely willing to pay more for their work because they expect to get more out of their business than adult clients. A large majority of adult clients open several tubes, tgps, blogs, and much more and hope to make money on one of them along the way. Therefore, they don’t want to spend very much money on any one design. Mainstream clients usually focus on only one business so they don’t mind putting the money into it. I think a high majority of the designers here all have a separate mainstream business or at least mainstream clients.

What I've found with a lot of people is they always want to talk you down no matter what your prices are in adult, unlike mainstream work where I can give them a price and they just pay. I think because they really don't know any better. I also get lots of clients that don't mind paying higher prices, so that's nice as well. My repeat clients don't try and haggle me with lower prices for the most part.

I pride myself in working to meet all my deadlines. I have a client management system that works great in assuring all my clients of a start date and preview date. The final product can vary because of the changes to the design. Keeping your clients happy is what it's all about and if you can't do that you can't have high design prices.
