Our "No Mark-up" Policy

DeWinter Communications, Inc. is a full-service marketing & PR agency that does NOT mark up expenses.

Frankly, we would rather earn our money from our marketing, creative development, and project implementation services – rather than needless mark-ups which offer NO value to customers. To that end:

• We do NOT mark up printing.
• We do NOT mark up graphic design fees.
• We do NOT mark up Web development services.
• We do NOT mark up signage.
• We do NOT mark up catering services.
• We do NOT mark up trade show booths.
• We do NOT mark up press release distribution fees.
• We do NOT mark up FAXes, copies, and postage.

In fact, the only thing we mark up at all is advertising – because we add value to the process. How? We will buy your ad space and obtain the 15% agency discount for you that is typically offered by most publications, and pass a 10% savings back to you. (Basically, we charge you 5% to save you 10% -- and we will require that you pay for your ads up front in order to obtain this discount.) In our minds, that’s a good deal and can save you considerable money.

Of course, we will charge you our standard hourly rate for the time it takes to develop and write ads, if you need those services, and to review pricing options, and coordinate insertion orders and the submission of artwork. We work quickly and efficiently to do this.

So if you think your company’s marketing budget would be better served by spending money on actual deliverables, rather than mark ups, give us a call.

We think you’ll be refreshed at our effective, affordable, down-to-earth approach to marketing…and business, in general.
