In my last blog, I asked for your opinions regarding accepting Credit Card payments. I am now coming to you with a question that some of you may have had to ponder. How far will you go (and by that I mean miles) for a project? It involves these issues :
Yes, Can you charge and make enough to justify the extra distance?
Travel time (and in my particular project, it's about 1 hour each way), which has to be figured into your costs.
and,
Yes, even though gas prices are down it still is an expense. And, since many of us Stagers drive big SUV's, then that can add up.
There are other considerations as well, such as the possibility of future business; and, especially in our current economic situation, the feeling that some business is better than none; and the desire to broaden our own experiences re: Staging projects, So fellow Stagers, and anyone else, what are your guidelines for accepting a Staging project that is a little further away from your geographical comfort zone?
