Content Submittal - VERY IMPORTANT:
All content (web & print projects) provided before or after marketing and web review must be submitted in MS WORD
documents and zipped into one file folder. Each Word document should contain the exact text you wish displayed on your
site/print media and is titled according to the category previously approved in your outline, where applicable.
Images provided or downloaded can be either ready to use as is, or require a lot of work. If your chosen image needs
customization other than sizing or coloring it will incur additional charges. Charts, PowerPoint Docs, graph, etc. is assumed to
be ready to use, and customization or re-rendering of these documents is extra, unless specifically referred to in your contract.
Marketing Optimization & Architecture
Upon receiving your technical copy, our job will be to enhance the document’s effectiveness and marketing message using
headers, sub headers, revised body treatment, visual structuring, benefit oriented bullets and key points, calls to actions, etc.
We call this Persuasive Architecture, or more simply, marketing optimization. We will then resubmit this information back to you
for approval of the content; however at this time the document will not be proofed.
Proofing
We allow our clients the option to choose their own proofing methods or use our highly effective proofreading service for $55
per page. Marketing writers are much more creative and sales oriented in their writing, thus we highly recommend proofing
before final approval. Our proffers are very, very good, and can find a dozen mistakes in any daily newspaper, reviewed by
several editors the night before! We will then resend you the documents after they have been proofed by our proofreading
service for your final review and approval of the text. We have found by combing the talents of creative and marketing and
optimization followed by a detailed review by a proofing and English/Grammar expert that the synergy allows for exceptional
result oriented copy.

document that is ultimately approved for production by the client.
