We're Different Than Other Designers!
When actors talk to me about design work, one
of the first questions they ask me is, "How are you different
than the other guys?" There are five main points:
1) Free Marketing
Coaching
As a fellow actor, I know how important it
is to find affordable prices on essential items like postcards,
business cards, resumes and websites. But having affordable prices is
not enough-
actors need to know HOW to use these materials to their best advantage.
So, every design order comes with a FREE marketing consulting
- we'll go over design needs in detail and to talk
about the best ways to use these marketing materials as a part
of your overall business plan.
Where else
can you get this kind of support with your designs?
2) Flat Rate Design
Once the design has been
started, the actor and TAE will work together until the project
has been built
to the
actor's specifications. All fees are FLAT RATE, which means that
we will work together until it is done right, with no extra cost to you.
3) All Designs Match Perfectly!
Example of Matching
Business Card & Website
We work closely with actors to help them create "visual
branding" that is personal and unique, and perfectly communicates
who they are as an actor. We unify the actor's branding
by designing their marketing materials to have the same look. Imagine-
you send a postcard to a casting director who then checks out your
website. While he's there, he clicks on your blog, which has the
same design/colors as your postcard and your website. In addition,
all of these materials have a fun and personality filled graphic
that lets the casting director know who you really are.
All original files will be given to you upon
completion of work, which is a rarity in the design world. Most designers
hold onto the artwork so that it forces you to use them again
when you have changes/updates. Owning your artwork means that you
have full flexibility to choose how you want your artwork to be handled
in the future. (Of course, if you want to come to me, I would be
most pleased!)
5) Reprints under $25 (no kidding!), and Dirt
Cheap web updates
For postcards & business cards: The printer
I use, Next Day Flyers, has a low cost program that gets you discounted postcards in a flash. This means that your reprints
will range from $6-$25, depending on your shipping time --
a huge savings from other companies.
For websites: Changes are made through my inexpensive "retainer" program.
Pay $65 to "retain" me for 1 hour of changes. For every
update that is made, the design time will be deducted from your retainer.
That
way, you
only
pay
for the
changes you need,
and the rest of the hour is saved for future updates --
what other designer offers that?
"Erin is the best! I live in LA and was looking for a simple but current actor website. She helped me all the way from NYC. The site is exactly want I wanted and she is almost always immediately responsive when it comes to updates on the site. She is trust worthy and reliable and I highly recommend her!
"I was looking for a classy unique actor's business card. Not the same old stuff I had seen. Erin was great!!! She talked with me about what I needed and sent me examples. She had a lot of patience to get the design just right. I received my cards very quickly as well. She is well informed, king and gifted. I would definitely use the company again for Web design and coaching."
"Erin/The Actor's Enterprise is the best! I came to Erin with the need of a postcard design. We discussed what I was looking for, I viewed a few examples, Erin viewed my website so there could be some cohesion between the marketing material. Erin is very user friendly and knows what works when it comes to the industry. I'll just say the postcards turned out great and have got me in front of a few people. Thanks TAE!"
For all design orders: In less than 24 hours after completing your purchase, you will receive an email from design expert, Erin Cronican, to schedule your one-on-one design consultation (to be done by phone or by Skype.)
