Q. Why should I outsource these functions when I could do them myself?
A. Using the services of Avanti Group means you or your staff can focus on other pressing priorities that await you every day.

Q. How do you charge for your services?

A. Before we begin any work, you will be provided with a detailed proposal explaining the services we will provide, at what costs and in what timeframe. If this proposal meets your approval, we begin work.
Q. What if we want to do some of the work ourselves?
A. That is why we offer our services on an ala carte basis. You determine exactly how much—or how little—you and your staff want to be involved and we’ll take it from there. This way, you are not paying for services you do not want or need.
Q. What about ad copy. Many of our advertisers are small businesses without a graphic design department. Can you create the artwork for them?
A. Your advertisers will love working with us because we provide them with attractive, professional-designed artwork from the logo, photos and text they send us. Often, we can provide this service at no charge to your advertisers. You will love us because this artwork will enhance your publication. Each advertiser will be required to approve the artwork before it is placed into the publication.
Q. If you sell the ads, will you also be responsible for the invoicing and collections?
A. Yes. When we sell the advertising for your publication, we are responsible for invoicing all advertisers. 100% of the revenue generated from the advertising sales will be applied to the cost of your publication, reducing—or even eliminating—your production costs.
Q. Can Avanti edit the editorial we’ve written?
A. All editorial that is submitted to us is reviewed for spelling, grammar, punctuation and readability.
Q. Will you supply graphics to make the publication more attractive?
A. In addition to the area photos you will provide, we have a vast library of royalty-free photos ready to make your publication stand out.
Q. Do I get to review the publication before it goes to press?
A. You will be given many opportunities to review the publication as work progresses. Your first opportunity will come after the initial design is complete. Once your requested changes have been implemented, you will get another opportunity to review the camera-ready art. We NEVER go to press until you have signed off on a final approval. This way you are assured the finished publication meets your expectations.
Q. How long will it take to get out publication done?
A. Because each job is unique, the answer to this is different for everyone. Before any work begins we will provide you with an estimated timeline. This way each of us knows what is expected. If that timeframe is ever in jeopardy due to unforeseen circumstances, we will contact you immediately to discuss the situation and explore alternatives.
Q. Our organization does not have a bulk mail permit. Can we use yours?
A. When we produce a publication for you, use of our bulk mail permit is included.
