Just because the industry’s doing it doesn’t mean that it’s right. Another client of mine, Shelly, is a wedding planner. When we first began working together she had three "wedding packages" because that’s what "everyone else does." She ran into problems with pricing because most of her potential clients didn’t fit into the standard package and therefore Shelly had a long list of "upgrades" and additional items

She was able to quickly raise her fees and increase her client base simply based on her fee changes.
