I'd recommend having your lowest project fee (say for something that takes less than four hours to complete) set as a half-day rate. So, let's say if your day rate is $500, your minimum fee is $250. That will discourage the nitpicky little jobs that will ultimately cost you if they aren't controlled. I think this is fairly common practice—at least, it was standard procedure at my last job. An example of when this fee becomes practical is if you've created an ad campaign for a client, and they need ads resized here and there. The work takes you an hour or less, but you make it worth your while over the long run by charging no less than a half-day rate.

- Time to rethink your fees then?Scotch_Roman
- my long term clients would not put up with your pricing strategy********
- we have a relationship built on a certain amount of trust********
