This is perfect if you know you are going to need help with a bunch of small requests like posters, postcards, business cards/stationary, sell sheets, signage, in-store promotional material, etc.. Or maybe something a little more intensive like creating a brochure or a buyer presentation.

This is what you want when you are planning out a sales deck, investor presentation, quarterly/annual report or a longer form newsletter. This is also smart when you have regular graphic design projects and the discounted hourly rate helps your budget go further.

Maybe you need help developing a packaging concept, or fixing/updating some old packaging? What about planning your quarterly drop for your retail stores (new promotional material)? Maybe it is a larger project that needs some heavy hours, or maybe you just need a lot of design support for your social media marketing, website updates and digital advertising campaigns. This is a great way to reserve the hours and save almost 10% on our hourly rates.

The big reason to do this [almost every time you have a project] is to get a design brief that will save you hours/money in the long run. That brief is also something you can take to other designers for really accurate quotes. More importantly, there is no ambiguity, the design team and you are on the same page for what the deliverable(s) is/are, how this project will be produced and used and what design skills are needed to pull it off.
