What if I don't need all these services?
That is what is ideal about the collaborative structure. You
buy only the service[s] you need, instead of paying fees that cover
the overhead of a large agency, whether you are using all the agency's
services or not.
Who do I contact first?
That would depend on the service[s] you need. If you are just
getting started with your creative, Interrobang Design would be the
logical member to start with. If you have existing creative, but need
it applied to the web or video, then Vermont Web Productions or Hen
House Media would be your first choice. Any of our members can help
you determine where to start.
Do you charge for estimates?
Estimates are free, but we like to have a very clear idea of what
your needs and goals are before providing them. You should expect
to have an in depth conversation about your project with the appropriate
member[s] of the collaborative so that we can accurately quote our
services.
How long does it take to complete a project?
Each project is different in scope and strategy, so there is no
formula for schedules. Once we have met with you and discussed your
needs and goals, we can start to get an idea of what a normal or accelerated
schedule might look like.
How is strategic planning related to marketing?
Most companies have limited marketing dollars and marketing time.
By clarifying your organizational vision and mission, you will have
a much clearer sense of who is in your target market, where they will
be most likely to read/hear/see your promotions, and what modalities
they would most likely use. As a result, your strategic marketing
efforts will be more cost-effective and more likely to gain your ideal
customers and clients. Contact Dr. Heather Finley at Balancing Changes
