Many of our clients approach us for guidance, and often we find that some of what they are looking for us to provide is really something they should be providing to us. As they say, "Failing to plan is planning to fail." So then, what can you do to become a better client to your creative service vendors?
Have realistic expectations, and know your limits (resources such as time, money, etc.,) before beginning the project.
Simplify the problem!
Don't be afraid of paying for the work. Friends and family typically can only take you so far.
Stay away from glitz for glitz's sake. It may look pretty, but often stifles functionality.
