Advertising Design and Promotion
Services
Shop for whatever YOUR business needs are
for the moment. Maybe you are
looking for
someone to design a small, simple
website
for your small business... Perhaps
you are
looking for just a creative banner
for your
finished website. Maybe you would
like to
have a whole new logo created.
Maybe you
need your business website promoted......
whatever! I offer an affordable
process for
even the smallest business to
start-up....
one small project at a time,
or a complete
package.
I do like things simple. Simple means quicker
turn around time, with less need
for constant
contact, and fewer mistakes.
As your business
grows, you may want to continue
to shop for
additional advertising goodies,
but make
a note that it's important to
start off with
just the BASIC ESSENTIALS first.
Your first
business priority is about advertising
to
your potential buyers and getting
exposure.

Many website managers who add content to
a website just add your text to a pre-designed
template and place clip art package - and
the site is finished within a a few hours.
Now don't get me wrong - as some companies
really don't mind this kind of web-building
service - especially if they are pressed
for time and money. But you need to make
sure the price is fair to the amount of time
that was involved in your particular project.
But as a "hands-on" artist, I do
not create nor design that way.
I dedicate
REAL time and effort to become
involved in
my hand-drawn graphics, creative
designs,
while advertising your services
and products.
My particular design work is
original, customized
and personalized for you and
your business.
- as customizing takes personal
effort and
time getting know your business
- and how
you would like to present your
company. Your
investment, along with my time
and energy
is all based on hand drawn graphics
from
imagination, different designs,
and created
from scratch - as I specialize
in unique
graphic design, originality,
and creative
images. Whether I would be designing
a website,
a company logo, a newspaper ad,
related graphics,
web banners, buttons, slogans,
text, etc.
- it's all pretty different.
I personally
don't use pre-designed templates
that limit
your customization, or my creativity.
I prefer
uniqueness and imagination when
it comes
to giving you something artistic
and genuine,
and I spend REAL dedicated time
to giving
you your own "master-copy"
version
with an individual style - just
for you!
Experience having your own art department
for your advertising needs. Hire me only
when you need me.
I have an hourly rate, which in most cases,
I will try to incorporate into
a flat rate
package if you can provide me
with enough
information upfront. I prepare
your customized
projects with my freelance rate of 35.00 per hour (depending on the projects needs) - billed
quarterly, which also covers
many "hats
of the job" (that you might
not be aware
of) like project preparation
time that involves
research, phone calls, consultations,
set-up,
and etc.. which can take away
from the very
thing that you came to me for...
which is,
design. Also included is typesetting
time,
limited revision time, printing
time, and
pre-publication mechanical time.
All of this
is standard procedure with any
graphic design
service or advertising agency,
but I like
to be upfront with buyers and
educate them
with all that is involved. When
I hand you
your invoice, I will want you
to know exactly
what you received for your investment.
My
services are completely affordable
when I
am prepared responsibly, leaving
a lesser
chance for mistakes, second guessing,
and
revisions. All quotes are upfront,
so that
you are never surprised.
I'm not a large advertising firm, but an
independent contractor with a
degree in visual
communications and experience
in advertising.
I am self-motivating and quite
capable of
working alone for extensive hours,
on several
projects at a time. From trade
secrets, deadlines,
to client lists, I fully understand
its importance
of privacy, and protect it from
competitors,
so that your small business comes
across
unique and original. If you are
concerned
with the cost - my main suggestion
is to
have your project prepared (concept,
ideas,
written text, photos, artwork,
etc.) This
way I can do a terrific design
with what
you give me.
But if you prefer to drop the whole project
into my hand - I can do that
too. I will
be glad take control with the
additional
responsibility of the larger
amount of work,
and longer hours. (It will be
like having
your very own art department!)
I can come
up with a concept, personalized
ideas, writing
interesting text, researching
for the perfect
artwork and scanning photos to
the perfect
layout and design! Since this
would give
me more to do with your project
- than just
the design, my rates would be
adjusted accordingly
per individual project.
On one side of the coin... you could probably
come up with your own logo or
website...
(basically just to have something)
but it
would mean that you would have
to take the
time, energy, and investments
- to create
your own business and advertising
concepts,
research your business needs,
the time to
learn your software and programs,
and etc
- when you weren't busy taking
care of your
business.
On the other side of the coin....
I do have
the time, the talent, the skills,
and experience,
along with the professional design
software
and programs to make your images
and website
happen! Hiring me for the job
- leaves you
more time for YOUR job.
