Just give me your price!
If it’s possible, don’t hesitate to give your price, but mostly it’s not fruitful. Price isn’t a factor that’s on top of the mind of serious buyers. It’s one factor not the only one.
If your service costs vary depending on your customers’ requirements, it’s not a good idea to give a price up front. It’s best to mention that your price will depend on their requirement.
This gives you a chance to understand their requirement better, but some customers may not want to invest a lot of time getting into details. In that case it’s better if you give a price range and ask them to submit their requirement.
Price ranges like most estimates should cover all aspects of a project so you ought to be careful. Mention that your final price may be different and that if the project brief is changed at any stage, you have a right to reassess your costs and hence the final price.
