Serious question, did anyone else find out they were invoicing wrong after chasing a $2,400 payment for 6 months?
I finally got paid last Friday on a logo job from a client in Portland, but only after sending 14 follow up emails, and the whole time I was putting net 30 on my invoices with no late fee listed anywhere. A friend who runs a print shop looked at my invoice template and pointed out there was nothing on it that said what happens if they pay late, so basically there was no reason for anyone to hurry. Do you all put a late fee percentage right on the invoice, and if so what number actually gets people to pay on time?

Funny thing is I did the exact same dumb move for like two years, just slapping net 30 on there and hoping good vibes would make people pay. Put 1.5% per month on the invoice in plain bold text right under the total, and suddenly the "sorry, it slipped through" emails stopped real quick. It's not even about the money, it's that seeing a number makes them treat the due date like a rule instead of a suggestion.
