How much money have you wasted trying to figure out a lighting design by yourself? I was talking to someone who had been thinking about working with me and who thought they were saving time and money doing it themselves.

"I was thinking of ordering from you but ended up going with Amazon. It just seemed like the easier option."

"I get that Amazon feels convenient. What made you decide to place the order there?"

"They had everything on sale. Plus, they offered a three-pack of the lights I needed, so I went with that."

"Makes sense at first glance! So what happened next?"

"Well, I had to wait for the delivery, accept it, then schedule someone to install it. Then, one of the lights ended up being bad, and I had to go back and order the same three-pack because they didn’t see them individually. Then, same thing I had to wait for delivery and schedule the install again. I did waste a lot of time thinking Amazon would be easier."

"Unfortunately I see this happen all the time. The lure of Amazon works on us all. While it would’ve been $6 more to let me get the lights, I could’ve delivered the lights directly to your job site. If something went wrong, I’d come out to replace the light myself, and you’d have the job done in one day."

"So, I could’ve saved all that time and hassle for just a few bucks?"

"Yeah, Amazon is a one-stop shop, but I will bring the shop to you when you need support.”

You can do anything by yourself, and you will eventually figure it out. Or you could call me and get everything handled all in one. The choice is yours.
