Designers! Listen up. Your client wants three things from you, and they might not even know it. They want you to be communicative, helpful, and efficient – and they’ll love you for it. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what those three things are in more detail, as well as how you can provide them for your clients. So read on to learn what makes your clients happy – and keep them coming back for more!
Communication is key in any relationship
This includes the one between you and your client. They want to be kept in the loop on the project’s progress, and they want to know that you’re available to answer any questions they might have. You can do this by setting up regular check-ins (weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the project timeline), being responsive to their inquiries, and keeping them updated on your progress as well as your business. But we do understand that some clients are very demanding, so designers have to learn to set a mutual agreement wherever you start a project.
Your clients also want you to be helpful!
This means more than just providing them with a great design; it means going above and beyond to ensure that they’re getting what they need from you. If they have questions about the design process, take the time to explain things clearly and patiently. If they’re not sure what they want, offer up some suggestions and guide them in the right direction. In short, be a resource for your clients – they’ll appreciate it, and it’ll make the design process smoother for both of you. Helpful designers anticipate their clients’ needs and want. This means being proactive in your communication, providing helpful resources and advice, and offering assistance when needed. If you can make your client’s life easier, they’ll be more than happy to work with you again in the future.
Your clients want you to be efficient
This doesn’t mean rushing through the project or cutting corners – rather, it means being organized, staying on schedule, and meeting deadlines. Your clients will respect you for being professional and keeping to your promises, and they’ll be more likely to use your services again in the future. Your time is precious and so is your client’s. No one likes to feel like they’re being ignored, and that goes double for your clients. They want to feel like their project is a priority for you, so be sure to respond to their inquiries in a timely manner. If you need more time to complete a task or deliverable, let them know by sending a simple text message, it does not require you much time or effort instead of letting them wait.
Conclusion
So there you have it! Three things your client wants from you – but might not know how to ask for. communication, helpfulness, and efficiency will take you far with your clients, and they’ll be sure to appreciate your efforts. So next time you’re working with a client, keep these things in mind and watch as the project goes smoothly – and your client becomes a happy one. Thanks for reading!
