Does anybody here have a source and know what these things rent for? Kinda thinking I may want to add it to my promo shots on the venue.
People hire professional stagers to make a house look it's best for pictures and visits when selling. Renting lights to show what the possibilities are is kinda the same thing. Now if it said somewhere that the lights pictured are included, that's different.Help me understand, You want to rent, one time, a piece of equipment to take pictures of your facility that will, logically presumed, be used to sell clients on renting your facility.
What happens when they expect the same results as you proposed in your images?

Plus, if he can rent them, then he can rent them again. If someone inquired about the exact lights in the pictures, he can tell them they were rented and I can have them here for $xx, assuming they are available for your date
I would try to find a local rental company that could provide lights for pictures for free. You could take pictures and have the rental company listed on the post.... "Lights provided by Suzie"s lighting. Call 555-1212 for rental info"
I didn't have too good of luck with that on a retaining wall (I think I used solid acorn brown) .. though it could have been the fact the wood was preservative treated and maybe it wasn't fully dry. The Thompsons came off the surface with the weather pretty quickly. I've had much better results with Behr siding stain.Leaning towards this:

Not really. I generally, almost always quote fees based on a consultation that establishes the desired results and then I quote the necessary fees to deliver thereon.Don't you offer your clients add-ons?
Of course if bookings start popping up quickly I'll just buy one of these and include it on my top-end package (with the appropriate price increase).
Make sure you've got a source for dry ice pellets out there in the woods. If it's like kerosene, you'll find it's just not worth the investment.
