Customer Craft Quotes

How to quote craft clients without sounding improvised or uncertain.

Many makers calculate their costs but freeze when it comes to presenting the price to clients. A clear quote builds trust and helps buyers understand the value they are receiving.

If you want to present prices professionally rather than just texting a bare number on chat, this guide gives you the exact framework to quote with confidence.
