The acceptance block
A quote becomes an agreement when the customer accepts it; leave room at the bottom of quote QUO-6324 for:

- Customer name (Morgan Ellis in the sample), signature and date
- When payment is due: Paid at pickup
- The last day the price holds (30 days after issue in this sample)
Tailor pricing tips
- Write the measurement change next to each operation, such as 'sleeves shortened 3/4 in', so the customer collecting the suit weeks later, or the next tailor, can see exactly what was done.
- Price shortening sleeves on a jacket with working buttonholes as a separate, dearer operation, because the work has to come from the shoulder and customers rarely understand why it costs more than a hem.
- Print the event date and the promised pickup date on the ticket and charge rush as its own line, since wedding and prom alterations tend to arrive in the same crowded fortnight.
- State on the claim ticket how long you hold finished garments, because unclaimed alterations pile up in small shops and the ticket is the only place the customer will see the policy.
Quote or estimate for tailoring and alterations?
Tailors rarely need a separate estimate: the scope is usually clear enough to commit to a price such as $402.00 up front.
