Want to add a Design Day to your services menu?
A Design Day gives clients access to your design expertise without committing to a Full Service project, and gives you a way to take on smaller projects without months of project management, procurement, revisions, and ongoing client communication.
It can also give you another way to generate revenue between larger projects, serve clients who aren't ready for Full Service, or introduce new clients to your firm through a smaller engagement.
A limited, design-only service needs tight boundaries.
For a Design Day to work, clients need to understand exactly what they're paying for, what can realistically be accomplished during their time with you, what you need from them beforehand, what they'll receive afterward, and where your involvement ends.
Without that structure, a service designed to be quick and contained can easily turn into a never-ending mess of additional questions, revisions, follow-up, and responsibility.
The Avery Complete Design Day System gives you the communication and client-facing materials to establish those boundaries from the very beginning.
From the first inquiry through final offboarding, you'll have a defined process for explaining the service, preparing your client, setting expectations, delivering the work, and closing out the project.
Instead of figuring out what to send, what to say, or what your client needs to know as you go, the communication is already mapped out for you.

6 professionally written Canva templates for marketing and client communication throughout your Design Day service
23 Design Day-specific email templates for inquiries, booking, onboarding, preparation, delivery, boundaries, follow-up, and offboarding
