auto-design requests · 24-hour turnaround · vendor quotes side-by-side
Annual replacement at parity if you bought the equivalent tools and services separately. Custom-building this one feature alone would land in our Medium build band ($40k–$90k (auto-design + vendor API + workflow)). Source ladder + per-line citations on methodology .
Concretely, what you get
- Auto-design request system — plain-English brief in, print-ready files out.
- First 20 design requests free at provisioning.
- Subsequent designs: $25 each, 24-hour turnaround.
- Live quote fetch from vetted print vendors (Vistaprint, PrintRunner, GotPrint, 4OVER APIs where available).
- Side-by-side vendor comparison: price, delivery date, finish options.
- You pick the vendor — we never recommend a single one.
- Address-list handoff for direct mail (door hangers, postcards) from public residential records.
- Order placement + tracking inside the portal; staff escalation when a job arrives wrong.
The shelf-of-tools this one offering removes
Categories, not brand names — pricing benchmarks observed from public pricing pages, agency proposals, and freelance rates current to the year. Every range is backed by a line-by-line worksheet you can audit once your trial is live.
| What you'd otherwise buy | Type | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| A freelance designer per request | Specialist | $75–$300/design + 3–10 day turn |
| A design agency on retainer | Agency | $1,500–$5,000/mo |
| A print broker’s hidden markup | Specialist | 15–40% on every print order |
| A direct-mail vendor’s door-by-door markup | Specialist | $2–$5/door |

What it adds to your business in dollars
A freelance designer charges $75–$300 per asset and turns it around in 3–10 days. Our system delivers in 24 hours at $25 (free for the first 20). Across 50 design requests a year, that’s $3,750–$15,000 in design spend collapsed to $750 — and the print run itself never pays a broker markup.

The outcomes this feature feeds into
Before you ask
How does the $25 design request actually work?
Type a one-sentence brief. Our auto-design system reads your brand kit (colors, fonts, voice), generates the asset in print-ready (300 DPI CMYK + bleed) and digital-ready formats, and delivers within 24 hours. The first 20 requests come free with your account; after that, $25 per request, charged to your card on file.
Why don’t you just pick the best print vendor?
Because the "best" depends on what you’re ordering, when you need it, and where it’s shipping. We surface live data and let you pick. We never become a layer between you and your printer.
What if a print job arrives wrong?
Staff Print Orders team handles escalation with the vendor. For Platinum + Business members, the escalation is priority — typically resolved within 2 business days.
What about direct mail?
Door-hanger + postcard runs ship with the address list compiled from public single-family residential records in your selected ZIPs. You see + approve the list before the vendor pulls it.
Can I bring my own designer or printer?
Yes. The auto-design system is the default for speed; bring-your-own designer + bring-your-own printer are both first-class paths inside the same workflow. Use ours when you want speed; use yours when you have a relationship that matters.
Walk through the print network and the 24-hour design turnaround.
Then send the next twenty design requests free.
