A fashion designer has shared her dilemma online, seeking advice regarding an unusual payment offer from a celebrity client.
While the designer kept the celebrity’s identity confidential, she revealed that they commissioned her to create several dresses.
Although no upfront payment was made, upon delivery, the designer was presented with two options: receiving a cash payment of N700,000 or receiving an “influencer” payment in the form of an Instagram tag from the celebrity.
The choice has left the designer conflicted. She acknowledges the immediate benefit of the cash payment, but also recognizes the potential value of gaining visibility through an Instagram tag from a well-known personality.
This exposure could potentially lead to increased brand awareness and attract new clientele.
Ultimately, the designer is seeking advice from the online community to weigh the pros and cons of each option and navigate this unique business proposition.
