PMC has a ton of design elements, from tours and gals to banners and ads, that we need built over the next several months. Some are needed asap, others are for planned projects down the road. Instead of getting bids on each project and jumping around designers, I would like to try something that I used to use when I was in contracts.. It's called a blanket purchase agreement or BPA, and works like this:
1. I give you a list of design item types that we will need (banners, tours, etc).
2. You provide me a confidential price list, which includes discounted costs for the items requested.
3. For a specified time period (usually 6 months to a year), we have a price-locked contract. When I need a design item, I send the job exclusively to you, and you charge me the agreed upon price for the job.
That's it. There are no guaranteed qualities, but it is a win/win situation... for the entire contract term, you get all of my graphics business, and we get a significant discount in return. The price list is confidential within the contract, so there is no pricing backlash from customers.
If you are interested in this type of contract deal, please post your company and samples of your work. If we like your work, I will contact you to discuss things further. Please hit me up with any questions.
Thanks!!
