How we operate

Our Internet-based service is for print-related advertising only, since we can’t control broadcast media at a distance in the same way. Nor can we deliver media and production materials in the same quality-controlled way.

If you’d like to do business with us, the procedures are simple. We offer two levels of service:

  • Our No-Frills Service, where we create print advertising at your request and deliver proofs to you by either e-mail or downloadable Adobe Acrobat® PDF files, and deliver the final production files to your nominated production bureau, printer or media organisation by e-mail or FTP.

  • Our Premium Service, where we integrate long-term marketing strategy with your print advertising and advise on measurement, monitoring and evaluation of results.


No matter which level of service you choose, the initial procedure is the same:

  1. Contact us by e-mail to discuss your requirements. Send us a brief outline of your problem.
  2. We'll get back to you with a list of questions and specific instructions, and a copy of our Letter of Agreement – a simple document that spells out our terms and conditions and what we undertake to do for you.
  3. We calculate a price for the agreed result and set a series of stages for achieving that result. Progress payments are due and payable on completion of each stage, or according to a time-based schedule (eg: monthly).
  4. Proofs are submitted by e-mail, PDF or FTP files or fax to be checked, amended, altered or approved and sent back to us.
  5. Once final approval is received, high-resolution files are sent to the designated media organisation or production house via e-mail and a final invoice/statement generated and sent to you by e-mail.


Payment

We normally charge on a per project basis rather than on a per-hour basis. It's better for all concerned – especially the client. It makes the cost predictable and encourages us to deliver promptly, with no incentive to expand the time involved.

Where appropriate, we also operate on a monthly retainer basis for ongoing projects.

Our standard procedure is to agree upon either a series of specified stages for a project, or a series of time frames, with an initial deposit and regular progress payments to be made according to the agreed schedule. Any outstanding balance is due and payable on completion of the project. Variations in project specifications will involve variations in our fees and charges. We will notify you, in writing, of any fees and charges variations before proceeding with further work. You will need to accept the variations to our quoted fees and charges, in writing, prior to work proceeding.

Local clients may pay by cheque, but long distance and international clients are required to pay by credit card, PayPal or direct deposit.
