Show Outline:
0:00-1:27 Intro
1:28-2:43 Fuel prices directly impact photographers’ bottom line
2:44-4:55 How much is the increase in fuel costing a photographer?
4:56-6:41 Should I add a fuel surcharge to my invoice?
6:42-10:07 What has Wow done?
- Calculated and analyzed the increased costs
- Decided to use a temporary surcharge: clients pay $5 on every job until gas prices average $3.50. The charge goes entirely to the photographers.
- Called and emailed VIP clients and brokerage owners to let them know about the change
- Sent a mass email to entire client base
- Most clients saw the value of the charge
10:08-11:47 How do I implement this in Spiro’s invoicing?
- Add $5 to every trip fee ($0 + $5 for service areas with no fee)
- Add a $5 milestone bonus for each photographer
11:48-14:06 Most clients will understand the necessity of this change
