What would your customers think if they could get a full color design like this with no design fees? It’s possible if you subscribe to Great Dane Graphics. This is just one of the 200 designs you could download each month.
If you offer custom apparel printing services, wouldn’t it be great if you could offer your customers the option of free artwork? Think about how that would totally set you apart from your competitors. No, we don’t want you to lose money on your jobs. We just want you to be aware of all the artwork options that are available to you, that could make your life easier when it comes to creating custom art. Of course you always need to calculate your time when you bid jobs. But think of ways in which you could reduce the amount of time YOU spend on artwork and then you can either pass those savings along to YOUR customers, or you can include the fee in your overall price, not separating it out. This way you can use the words “NO DESIGN FEES” in your advertising or marketing efforts. You might also want to consider a disclaimer such as “Two free hours of design work included for all jobs. Jobs that require more than two hours will be quoted in advance.” Or something along those lines.
