Re: taking a deposit

[greg] "I ended up losing the job over this. Was I wrong here? How do you handle out-of-state new clients?"

I think you were perfectly in the right on how you handled this. I have lost jobs over the same type of policy in the past as well, and it has not hurt my business at all.

I also charge at least a 50% deposit for any project that involves a camera crew so they can get paid as soon as the job is completed. Like you, with any new client I will hold the master until payment is received.

I think you handled it by the book here. Once those P2 cards left your hands, there was no incentive for them to pay you.
