Non – Designer Do’s
Sometimes it seems like the industry I am in comes off as pushy or arrogant. But really were just looking out for what is best for our clients and future clients. We are very visual people and it literally makes us feel ill when we see something that could have been done better or less expensively. Here are some brief tips to help you jump into a relationship with a professional creative.
Always hire a professional for any “marketing” work that needs to be done. Graphic designer, web developer photographer & copy writer.
Always have your stuff professionally printed. It will be cheaper and look more professional. Professionals get trade discounts. It’s almost guarenteed that my cost will be at least 10% lower than yours! Sometimes up to 50% Lower.
Always sign a contract.
Be honest with your designer. Tell them everything about your business. We are not mind readers.
Always have a budget in mind. And make sure the designer knows what it is.
Ask for referrals or to see a portfolio. A professional designer will have one ready, either right on thier website or a hardcopy.
Build a Marketing plan with the help of your designer. This will save you money & time.
