A mailing list of graphic designers
Image via Wikipedia
Over the past few months I have met with many businesses to demo eWrite Lite, our low cost and easy to use content management system. Though I am not a sales man I have managed a very high succes rate in demoing our software and getting paid businesses onboard and using eWrite Lite to allow them to manage their web site effectively.
In this time I was specifically targeting businesses which already had websites set up. It was easier for me to install eWrite and attach it to an existing website rather than going through a potentially longer process of developing a new website with each business.
I am not a graphic designer and so I rely on some new and existing contacts to work on graphics for the customer. Ideally, it would be great to have the resources to hire 2 or 3 graphic designers full time and have them all under one roof when needed. I don’t have the resources for this so I am considering a sort of mailing list for talented graphic designers.
When I meet with businesses which need graphics to be created such as logo designs, website designs or a newsletter template designs I would like to be able to contact a set of individuals to see who is available to work.
This would mean that I ask a customer what they need, what is their budget, what existing designs they like, what colours they would like to use etc. I would collect this information together in a specific format and send it to 5 or so designers by email to see which designer has the time to do the work for the required budget.
If a designer can do a job, I send on more details for them to get started. If a designer can’t do a job, no problem, there will be more to follow.
If you are designer, would you be interested in working in this manner? Please leave me a comment below or contact me by email or skype if you are interested.
