What genuinely reduces cost
- Reducing deliverable count
- Fewer revision rounds
- Flexible scheduling that fills a gap in the calendar
- Booking several pieces together
- Providing finished assets and copy rather than us producing them
What does not
Requests for a lower number with the same scope, promise of "lots of future work", or exposure.
Non-profit and small independent work
Considered case by case, usually as a scope adjustment rather than a headline discount, and never at the expense of a paying client's schedule.
Transparency
If a reduction is given, the reason is written into the scope register so nobody is confused about the baseline later.
