Fishing...The Basics

Thank you for considering Mary Fisher Design as your design and marketing partner. Working with a new organization sometimes prompts a few questions. Because our customers are important to us, we have addressed some of these questions to give clarity to our process.

After your initial consultation (at no cost) with Mary Fisher, our creative team will assess your design needs and present a written estimate. The subjective nature of graphic design/ illustration/writing/web design/logo design does not permit us to give firm bids or quotes. However, we do adhere as closely as possible to this estimate unless the assignment changes or we have gone over the estimated number of alterations.

We will try to alert you at the point it is evident that your project will go over the estimate. We base our estimates upon an hourly rate of $125 for design and marketing services. Our customers find us to be creative as well as quite efficient with their money.

DEPOSIT
Work proceeds upon receipt of a 50% deposit and signed estimate. Subsequent meetings and client alterations from originally estimated work are considered part of the billable time. If the job takes more than 2 weeks, you will be invoiced for the time through that date. The balance is due upon completion of the job.

AFTER BEING ASSIGNED THE BUSINESS
After you have decided to work with us, you will meet with Mary Fisher again, and the art director for an information gathering meeting. Feel free to bring a staff member with you. We are interested in scheduling, budget, target audience, specifications and your preferences in style. Bring with you any photos, logos, and text that we need to incorporate into your marketing piece.

ADDITIONAL EXPENSES
Additional expenses may include courier services, overnight delivery, copy writing or editing, client alterations over original estimate, CDs, photography, and/or illustration. We will try to alert you at the point it is evident that your project will go over the estimate.
