Start by charging a set rate for designs. Depending on the time required to design something like this, I'd say start around $75.00/hr w/ a 1 or 2 hr minimum. Meet with your clients to talk about their expectations and then throw in your artistic flair to exceed their expectations. provide them with a couple drafts and gauge their reactions. Then charge a small amount per flyer printed should they decide to go with one of your designs. (Invest in a good laser printer! Make money on the documents and shipping!!)

Maybe offer a "back to the drawing board" rate that is slightly reduced from your original rate should your customer not feel it's quite right, or they're picky.

I could see you having to deal with some hellish customers, so having concrete rates in place and communicated to them properly is a must.
