Is the single session fee deductible?
Yes, but with conditions and a time window; it is important to understand this from the beginning to accurately budget.
Yes. The fee for a single consultation session at Sinh Vũ is designed as a trial step that can be deducted from a larger project if you decide to proceed within 90 days. The deduction ranges from 50 percent to 100 percent depending on the package signed afterward, meaning that if you continue, the trial session will almost be free.
- You are likely to continue and want to try first for peace of mind.
- You only need to hold one session and have no intention of doing a large project: not too much focus on the details.
- you should clarify the conditions when scheduling to determine the overall budget
- Familiarity with the time window means that when signing a large contract, the deadline has already passed.
- Large calls just to be excluded, while actual demand has not reached that level.
The answer is yes. The fee for a single consultation session at Sinh Vũ is designed from the start as a trial step that can be deducted, not a completely separate expense. The goal is for you not to feel regret when spending money to try it out first, as the single session serves as an entry point, not a stopping point.
How the detection mechanism works
Sinh Vũ applies the policy: if you sign a large project package within 90 days from the date of the individual consultation, the fee for that session will be deducted from the value of the new contract. The deduction amount depends on the package:
- Foundation package: 50 percent discount on individual session fees.
- Launch package: 75 percent discount.
- Brand operating system package: 100 percent off
This means that if you go for the largest package, the trial session is almost free of charge. Specific conditions and calculations should be confirmed when scheduling, as policies may update over time.
Why this model is reasonable
This is how many studios and strategic consulting firms organize their services: a low-cost diagnostic or exploratory session serves as a stepping stone leading into a larger project, and the fee for this stepping stone is considered an initial investment rather than a separate cost.
For clients, this mechanism reduces risk: you can try before committing, and if you decide to proceed, you won't incur additional costs. With Sinh Vũ, the initial session allows both parties to understand each other before starting a long-term project, avoiding signing a large contract without sufficient information about each other.
The upfront exploration fee is an initial investment, not an additional cost. When the client proceeds, it becomes part of the project.

When to take advantage of deductions, when not to worry
Should leverage: you are fairly certain you will undertake a large project but want to test first for peace of mind. At this point, a single session helps both parties understand each other and can be counted towards the subsequent project. This is the most efficient way to use the budget.
No need to worry: You only need one orientation session and do not have plans for a large project in the near future. At that time, the single session has its own value, and deductions do not need to be factored into the decision.
Common mistakes
- Thinking trial sessions are a complete waste of money: Many clients do not inquire about deduction terms when scheduling, then sign a large package unaware that they could have had fees deducted.
- Forget the timeline: The 90-day window passes quickly, especially when the project is delayed for internal reasons. If you intend to proceed, it’s better to ask early rather than wait until you are almost ready.
- Sign a large package earlier than actual need just to get a discount: The discount is a secondary benefit, not a reason to make a big decision. If the actual need does not reach the level of a long-term project, signing early often creates skewed expectations and wastes resources for both parties.
The viewpoint of Sinh Vũ
Sinh Vũ designs this policy for a practical reason: branding is a long-term decision, but not everyone is ready to commit from the start without knowing who they are working with. A single session allows you to verify the working method and the level of fit before betting on a larger project.
What matters most: clarify the conditions as soon as you schedule. Do not assume deductions or time windows without confirmation, as policies may change, and it is best to calculate the budget accurately from the start rather than being surprised later.

Frequently asked questions
If I sign a larger package after 3 months, will I still get a deduction?
The standard window is 90 days from the date of the single event. If this deadline has passed, deductions are usually no longer valid. You should confirm this deadline when scheduling to avoid confusion later.
Is the deduction applicable to all large packages or only certain specific ones?
Not all. According to Sinh Vũ's current policy, the Foundation package is discounted by 50 percent, the Launch package by 75 percent, and the Brand Operating System package by 100 percent of the single session fee. You should clarify when scheduling to know if your intended package is on this list.
Should I sign a larger package earlier than my actual needs to take advantage of discounts?
No. Deductible fees are a secondary benefit, not a reason to make a significant decision. If the actual demand is not yet at the level of a long-term project, signing early just to get a deduction often creates skewed expectations and wastes resources on both sides.
