Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / June 2006How Much To Charge For Designing PPT Presentation?
Hi designers. Is there a link to get an idea on how much to charge for designing PowerPoint presentations? Do pros charge by the slide, hour, job, etc? Is there any kind of scale or industry standard to go by for lists of fees and services? Please advise us if you can help and thank you for your time steve > Hi designers.

Please advise us if you can help and thank > you for your time steve A good ballpark is $60/hr., but this varies greatly by area and levels of competition. Also, if you are just getting started, you likely spent much more time on the project tweaking little things getting it "just right". Therefore you probably spent twice the customary time to do the job. Keep these sorts of things in mind when you bid a job. If you list prices in any other fashion than hourly, you have to be very specific so you aren't cheated and the client knows what to expect. You could list tiers of service such as "small PP presentation 5-10 slides, minimal graphics $XX" and go up from there. Good luck, -Mark > > Hi designers.

Thanx for your response and input. That gives us a reference point to work off of. There are so many specifics in a PPT presention. There could be image retouching in Photoshop, subject research, typing if client has not scripted in MS Office, fancy charts and animations, it goes on. We'll see if somebody else has a rate in mind or way of charging for services. steve >> > Hi designers.

That's why hourly is the only fair way to go for both sides. So much of it is a teaching process to your clients. You often lose your shirt on the early jobs, but in exchange, hopefully you gain a client. Additionally, if you can educate them on how to help you with formats, etc., you can show them that a little work on THEIR part saves THEM lots of cash. Let them know you'll be glad to do it, but if all their inputs to you are only ideas, then you'll have to charge much more than if they were already data input into a spreadsheet that needed to be a chart for example. It also depends so much on who you are doing this for. Is it for a club/group/church you are in? Is it someone you know? OR, is it purely for money from people you don't "owe." One thing you might do is to research other graphic designers in your area and scout their price lists if they publish them online (most probably won't unfortunately). Steve Sometimes you can use places like www.elance.com to get a feel for the going rate for certain powerpoint projects.

Thanks to everyone for researching PPT presentation fees for designing a project. BTW, I just design them, not present them myself. steveb In article <mrjazzy2002-9C865F.09372421062006@newsclstr02.news.prodigy.com>, > Hi designers.

Art is a business, not the lottery. "industry scale" is ALWAYS negotiable (unless you work in a unionized field). "Industry standards" are contrived and not real-world business. BTW- Been doing art business for 30+ years  SignatureTo reply by email, remove the word "space" |
