There are many choices to make. How do you know that the Design Firm you are choosing is a good fit for you? Here are some important questions to ask to help you narrow your search.
How long have you been in business?
Choose an agency that has passed the test of time. Longevity indicates a level of experience that proves it is successful in the market place.
What types of services do you offer?
Choose an agency that offers a wide variety of services; from branding, web design and development, print collateral and social media, a firm that successfully does it all is a huge asset to your company.
What types of clients do you serve?
Look for an agency that has proven success in a similar market as your industry.
What is the process of communication?
Is your contact person the one that you will be communicating the vision of your company to? Or will they be translating the message to another designer? Availability and accessibility to the designer is key in translating the heart of your company.
Do you have a list of references?
Be sure to check out current and past references and ask them if they were satisfied and would use the agency again.
What are your ethical standards?
A quick look at their portfolio can speak volumes on the types of businesses that they choose to work with. Just as important, a conversation about their business philosophy can tell you a lot about their morals and motivations.
