Digitizers do you offer TERMS to your clients?

Prepay in the beginning.

Terms after 3 months.

Most inquiries will say they are a big company doing 20-30 designs daily BUT at the moment season is low....which is a pure lie 99% of the times.

This is why we don't look at the size of the company because we will not give credit no matter how big they are. Infact theres a bigger chance of them cheating you if they are a bigger company because of higher volume.

We have secured 3 big customers in the last 6 months who started of by paying in advance by paypal when they order. We process the order and send it back to them within 24hrs. This worked very well for us because there is no risk involved for us or the client. The client will pay us say $15.00 in advance....thats all they risk and that is not much to risk if they are seriously looking for a good digitizer.
After 3 months of advance payment, we then monitor and offer terms to the customer but not more than 30 days.

We have been cheated many times where the customers dont pay when they are billed end of month. In that month they would have done about 10 designs, so its not that they didn't like the quality or service but its purely for free designs. Im sure many other digitizers have experienced the same and many still continue to offer terms and free designs but we don't anymore. Everyone has their own way of selling but we have learnt our lesson.

I am yet to post the company names of customers who have cheated us in the past for other digitizers to be aware of them.
