Let's Start Your Project

There is no charge for the initial meeting in which we discuss your project and set up for the project guidelines.

Project begins when:

  • You or your organization signs a contract which includes the estimated cost of the project
  • A nonrefundable deposit ranging from 10-25% of the estimated fee is received
  • Purchase order is issued, if necessary

You provide:

  • Background information including marketing and communication plans, current and past product literature, illustrations and graphics, samples, market research, etc. as electronic files
  • Literature previously used by your company and/or your competitors in hard copy

I provide:

  1. Initial rough copy which may consist of:
    • Three preliminary concepts for advertising-style projects
    • Marked-up text for editing projects
      • For web content, I provide the page address, the area of the page, and the paragraph and line in which the error occurs along with the suggested correction
      • For editing electronic files, I use text markup which enables you to view the suggested correction and then accept or deny it
      • For hard copy documents, I use a red pencil to emend the text
  2. First draft created from the initial rough and submitted for your approval
  3. After your response and approval of the first draft, two revisions are provided as part of the fee
    • More than two revisions are charged at an additional, individual fee
  4. Final draft is sent for your approval
    • Two revisions are provided
      • More than two revisions are charged at an additional, individual fee
  5. Finished copy is delivered as an electronic file, ready for printing

Project ends when:

  • If the project resulted in a hard copy product, you provide a sample for my archive
  • An invoice for final payment is sent to you
  • Payment, in full, is sent within 30 days of receiving the invoice
