Designers, free quotes on design..
 

Hey all.
I just noticed that one design site had sign like this: "Free design quotes". Now what the fuck is that? Is it just me and that guy who do free quotes? Or you all are charging money for quotes???
Why would a designer start asking money for a quote that will only take him a freaking 20 seconds to determine the costs? Does anyone charge money for it? Please enlighten me, cuz I feel like I was abandoned on a deserted island.. :)

We do free quotes too!

Why someone would charge for a design quote is beyond me. I can understand with tangible services like someone having to drive out somewhere to look at a space to give a quote, but for design?

Duh? :)

It's just a figure of speach...

"call now for your free quote"
"no credit applications refused"

Just tag lines to help get people into the door. :thumbsup

Everybody do free quotes! That's for sure!!! :thumbsup

Marketing.. M.A.R.KE.TE.KE.TING :)

It is like Free Tour Finally, would you pay to take a site's tour :Graucho

Marketing is Keyword here. Smart idea actually..

because in industries other than ours people do charge for qoutes so I guess some people just want to point out that isn't the case.

Don't worry by qouting skills come free :)

Sarah, don't tell you guys aren't asking $$$ for quotes there in WebInc! :thumbsup

no, anyone that wants a qoute gets the pleasure of speaking to me for free :)
