Helping you help us help you

We want to give you our best product, at the best price possible. We’ve done our research, so we’re quite confident that we’re providing those two points. Most of the well-known pay-per-credit bulk email service providers (we’re not American, we won’t name names) will ask you up to 5 times our fee and offer turnaround times that will have you see your first grandchild before you see a first draft.

We’ve already touched on the importance of sending us your final draft, and why we require a 48 hour lead time. In a perfect world, you would send us your final, proofed requirement, text and images, and we’ll get it spot on with our first design draft. Although that happens more often than you might think, it also frequently happens that minor edits and changes need to be made in order to make the design just right: a layout adjustment here, a spelling change there.

To stay competitive, your fee allocates up to 2 hours labour to your design. This includes the first draft up till final completion and send of your email. We think you’d agree that right up to v.3 of a design, you should be covered: V.1 for the first draft, v.2 for any edits/changes, and if needed, v.3 for very minor edits that might have slipped through.

As such, any version after V.2 (2nd draft) for design changes and V.3 (3rd draft) for those minor text edits will be billed at an additional hourly rate.
 
 
Our value added services

Rush Fees:
Sometimes you need to get something done in a very short time, and the 48 hour turnaround time we offer just won’t do. We understand that. This would mean we’d have to reshuffle a very delicate f.i.f.o. system to prioritise your urgent design need… yes, we can be bought!
For a measly R250 per template we’ll cut that turnaround time in half! Please note that we won’t always be able to accommodate such priorities - some days are busier than others after all :)

Template exports:
So you like the design we’ve done for you, and in a lightbulb moment you realise “Wait a minute, I can put this on my facebook page as well?”.
For the low, low price of R75 per template, we’ll export the design for you to JPG or PDF. PDF’s are useful for downloads when you have a “Latest newsletter” section on your website. If however you need the template done for printing purposes, it might require a redesign, and an hourly fee will apply. Please ask your CA for more information.
