If you run a business, your brand is one of the most important aspects in the public eye. A good graphic designer can help you establish how people think of your business through logos, thoughtfully selected colors, imagery among other things. Instead of going to a massive design agency, you may want to consider a freelance graphic designer, and here’s why. 

 

1. Freelance Graphic Designers AreMore Cost Effective For Your Business

Cost is a huge factor in deciding for what services to go for, especially if you’re just starting out. Every business should want to establish a strong brand that accurately represents the businesses goals and aspirations, but they shouldn’t break the bank doing so. 

 

A freelance graphic designer will cost you and your business far less than if you hired an agency or hiring a full-time employee. The rates of a freelancer’s services are pretty much on par with the agencies. You will not pay less for the services provided but you can save on other non-service related things.Freelancers works for themselves and their cost of doing business is a lot lower. Agencies tend to have a robust staff and lease a supercool office, and those costs get passed off to the client. Also, if you are willing to guarantee that you will use their services for at least the next three months, a freelancer will be more willing to negotiate a slightly lower rate if you put them on a retainer.

 

If you have enough work to employee a full-time graphic designer and can afford todo so, hiring a full-time graphic designer may be the correct choice for you.But, if you do not have room in the budget for a competitive salary that will attract a good graphic designer, you do not want to worry about providing benefits, and do not know where to start when it comes to purchasing equipment or the software needed to do the work you can just hire a freelance graphic designer instead.

 

2. Freelance Graphic Designers Will provide Great Services

It's important to remember that a freelance graphic designer’s entire reputation is built off of work done for previous clients. Most of my freelance work comes from word of mouth so I make sure the services I provide is professional and good, so the client hires me again or refer me to someone else.

 

A freelancer will also be honest and realistic with you about deadlines and how much work they can physically take on. Freelance graphic designers work off of their reputation, so it’s in their best interest todo the best job they can, and to keep the client happy. 

 

3. It’s Easier to Build a GoodBusiness Relationship

Asa freelance graphic designer, I personally make sure to understand exactly what you want to achieve and work hard to reach that goal. If that goal changes mid-way through the project, you can easily get in touch with me directly to let them know about the change in direction. No need to try to explain to account managers that might not understand your specific ask.

 

You’ll get the best out of building a relationship with a freelancer because your ideas will be heard, and the process of completing the project will be a one-on-one collaborative experience. 

 

4. You’ll Get Quick and EfficientService Using a Freelancer

Freelancers will often get the job done quicker as they do not have to go through the same procedures as those graphic designers working for agencies. Again, it's in their best interest to deliver good quality workin a timely fashion, as it will help their reputation and keep clients coming back. 

 

Freelancers do all the checking and approvals themselves. Creative agencies often have many layers to their approval process. These procedures take more time, adds to the billable hours, and will often delay the delivery of work back to you. 

 

5. Freelance Graphic Designers Are Flexible

As well as being more reachable, freelance graphic designers are also flexible. If you have any last-minute changes the night before a presentation, for example, it will be easier to reach your freelance graphic designer out of the normal office to help you out. 

 

You won’t get this service with agencies, as they typically only work 9-5. Once you’ve established a good relationship with one person, you can expect the great service your company needs to effectively build your companies brand. 

 

Freelance Graphic Designers are anIncredible asset to add to your team.

Once you make the decision to hire a freelance graphic designer, you certainly won’t regret it. They are fast, reliable, and most importantly, they will listen to your ideas and intentions for your business. So go on, put your trust into a freelancer, it will be worth it!
