Budget Notes

This is not a quote for your particular project
We usually get projects underway for a while before we can give you the final quote and issue a contract. By submitting to innova and accepting you agree that we may proceed with incurring costs for which you are liable.
Innova has excellent relationships with cost-effective, high quality vendors. New bids from competitors are solicited periodically.
Designer's fee is flat rate for projects up to ca. 12 pages with a couple of revision rounds. Innova will provide templates for artists wishing to do their own design but reserves the right to make a nominal charge if such designs are not print ready. 1 hour's work included to assure brand conformity: all else charged at $50/hour.
Innova charges a flat rate based on the actual cost of mailing promotional materials USPS (in addition to the digital media blast)
