Free Price Quote Templates Available for Download
Customers Don’t Like Surprises but Discounts Are Another Matter
Price quote templates are a quick and easy way to create the customized cost estimate document which is the vital link between a business owner or freelancer, and their customers and clients. You’ll want your price quote to reflect the professionalism and integrity of whatever goods or services you provide. All the company details; the logo, contact information, and any indication of being bonded or insured (if applicable) should be prominently displayed. Quantities, item numbers, dates, signature boxes, and of course prices (usually with a clause that states it could be subject to change depending upon the variables you choose to put in that are related to your industry), are further examples of things that should be included on it. Having a line entitled “Discounts” is always a good idea but I leave the fudging operations up to you, dear reader.
With the templates below, uploading and inserting all that information onto the style of template you choose is easy. Moreover, by first taking a glance at all the available options, you’ll get a good idea about what should be included and how you’d like yours to look.
