As an agency owner I’ve been wondering: what’s stopping me from using a service like yours for $500 to $1000 a month or whatever, and sending ALL my design requests to you? We’d make $30k a month and put your business under. Or push it to its limits.
Are the requests truly unlimited?
Or is white labelling not allowed and that’s how these businesses avoid this problem?
Or is it not a problem? Even though we’d be making 10X what you charge, it would be all good?
Of course then there’s the question of whether the work is actually any good.
From everything I’ve seen, these services only work for low end B2C marketing where the design is generic and cartoony.
There’s a lot of experience and strategy and thought and discussions with clients to produce the work we do. I don’t see how that could work with a $500 a month unlimited model.
We’ve had clients on retainer in the past (much higher rates though) and I didn’t like it. I prefer to just charge by the hour.
To answer your actual question, show your dad the competitors. But make sure you can prove they’re profitable. And how you’re going to be better than them.
I think it could be done with the right creative director at the helm. The design I’ve seen from design pickle and the like is ass so it wouldn’t be hard but you have to make sure you can find good offshore talent.
