Rebecca Ward, CID | Interior Designer, Interior Design Mentor, Designers Coach
About this episode

What kind of experience do you give your clients?

Building on our last episode's discussion on charging your interior design skills, I explore the crucial flip side—the luxury experience that should accompany a premium or luxury price.

Charging a premium or a luxury price requires you to deliver a premium or a luxury product and service. After all, Interior Design is a luxury service.

Today, on the podcast, I talk about elevating the experience for your clients as you increase your rates. It's about providing more than just a design. It's about presenting a lifestyle, a worry-free journey for your clients, where every detail is thoughtfully crafted. But how can you master this delicate balance of charging more while offering more?

If you are curious to elevate your client experience and secure your place in the top tier of designers, this episode is for you.

Why you’ve got to check out today’s episode:

  • Explore proven ways to elevate your client experience from thoughtful gifts to using cutting-edge technology
  • Assess whether your processes are clear and repeatable so your clients receive a polished, premium product
  • Examine how you are raising your delivery and your level of client experience
