FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
To provide an accurate quote, the process is somewhat simple. Usually we talk to prospective clients like you on the phone, interview you for what you like, the amount of your content, when you need printed material, how many you need, etc. We brainstorm with you to come up with the best fit for your organization. After a conversation, we'll send you a quote or two based on the styles we discuss. Our quotes show all of the areas of expense in a "menu" style. Design, writing, programming, hosting, SEO, printing (when applicable), lettershop services, postage, etc are shown individually. For printing services we'll show the cost at various quantities such as 5,000, 10,000 or 25,000 pieces.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
This may be a bit unconventional, but here's how we would like to be approached by a prospective client... How we prefer to be asked about what we do: Written RFPs can only provide a basis of information. While they offer answers to the common questions of price range and service offerings, RFPs don't give you a solid impression of the day-to-day working relationship you most certainly will be involved in once you hire a firm. In addition to the written responses to an RFP, I would welcome a phone call interview. I believe that a live discussion is far more telling about how the relationship will work. I would also propose that you select a small current project, provide your favorite competitive firms with the same details, and give us all a budget to create a concept or two. A live project will give you the best opportunity to evaluate our talent and service.
