The pain of customer artwork

  • How many of your customers DON'T own powerful design packages like Adobe Photoshop, or Corel Draw?
  • How do you deal with customer artwork?
  • How do you receive it from them - Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Microsoft Paint or even hand drawn?
  • How are you expected to turn this into print-ready artwork when your margins are already so low?
  • How much time do you waste going back and forth with customers who want to make alterations?
  • How do you convert customers visiting the website into sales?
