Framing discount deal?
Hi -
I'm finishing up a portrait for a university dean (sorry I can't unveil it - she doesn't want that done). My client contacted the gallery in which I show my art in order to get in touch with me. I will give the gallery owner her percent of the portrait price (she was okay with only ten percent).
My client wants to select the frame for the piece, and I want her to come to the same gallery to select it. I would charge the client for the frame as part of my invoice. In exchange for ordering the frame through this gallery, it seems reasonable to me to ask the gallery owner for a discount . I am thinking of asking for 25%. Since a local gallery gave me a 25 percent discount just because I am displaying my work at the local museum, I am guessing that 25% is probably a pretty standard practice.
Feedback? Has anyone else done this? Does this sound like a reasonable thing to ask?
