[musictlk] Price rate for commercial jingle

[Brad Dunsé]

Here's what I'd consider:

A. If I weren't desperate for the money, 
you  know survival stuff,  I would consider the 
tax write off donation. However, do realize they 
will need to claim that as a form of income of 
sorts on their tax forms, so there is that side 
of the coin but they are use to donations as long 
as they are reasonable.  The gov will only allow 
reasonable too. Funny, the gov can spend 
thousands for toilet seats and hammers out on 
the  east coast, but we're not to charge too much 
for NFP donations :). I digress. But it would be 
a good thing to do since they are NFP. Perhaps in 
lieu of payment get the tax write off, and some 
PR stuff like mention on their web page, a 
written review or testimonial for you to put on 
your web page maybe. It would be a niuce resume 
addition too for a state-wide jingle.

B. If you wanted to go the fee route, you could 
estimate how long it wil take you,  figure up 
your normal rate, and see if it sounds 
reasonable. Billable hours are not always the 
time one spends on a project, especially if it is something new.
