If the trickiest part of proposals was the process of preparing
a compliant document, winning would be a lot easier. In the end,
answering every requirement may prevent a proposal from being thrown
out, but getting the win themes and subject matter expertise captured
in hard-hitting text that speaks straight to the customer's needs,
is what makes a winning difference.

"I've
had to convince many of my government contractor clients—especially
the smaller ones—that when all the dust settles
it almost always costs less to use 24 Hour Company for their
proposal graphics, compared with freelancers or in-house designers.
The turnaround is so fast and you just can't get better
graphics anywhere else. I've made believers out of my
most skeptical clients, and always recommend to them that
we go with 24 Hour Company upfront."
-Paula Ransone, Ransone Associates

"Having worked exclusively with
in-house designers in the past, there is no comparison with
24 Hour Company when it comes to being available and flexible
to get the job done quickly and professionally. In-house designers
often have heavy workloads, and it can be hard to get their
exclusive attention to my job. 24 Hour Company's
charges are very reasonable—especially when you consider
how little time it takes them to actually come up with the
right graphics—usually on the first try.”
-Patricia Sitterson, Raytheon |

"Our first experience using 24
Hour Company came from being shorthanded on staff and facing
a very tight proposal deadline. Your designers were very agreeable
to working lots of overtime, including weekends. On the last
night they stayed until after 4:00 a.m. to make sure the job
was finished and boxed for delivery. I thought it
would cost a lot more to use 24 Hour Company, but in the long
run we actually saved money because it took less to time to
create the high caliber graphics needed to give us the best
shot at winning the bid.”
