Timelines & Budget
Creating effective, integrated pieces requires planning. We ask on-campus departments and offices to please allow at least eight-to-10 weeks for project development, design and production.
Last-minute things can and do pop up. We'll do our best to accommodate these requests being mindful of our other projects and timelines.
The best way to determine a project timeline is to work backward from your mail or event date. Below are general timelines you can use for planning purposes. Specific dates can be discussed and identified during your project brief meeting.

| Design & Copy Editing | | 10 days | | | | |
| Client Review | | | 1 - 5 days | | | |

Web Timeline
Timelines for web projects are dependent upon the complexity of each project or request. Please contact the marketing technology director for more information. E-mail: nancy.weyers@doane.edu or call 402.826.6718.
Budget
Please be prepared in advance with your budget (don't forget postage) and your account code to charge for your project. All costs associated with your project will be discussed and approved by you.
