How to Submit a Marketing Ticket
Planning Ahead: Timelines and Expectations
Great marketing takes time and planning. To ensure we deliver high-quality materials that meet your needs, we ask that you submit requests with enough lead time to allow for thoughtful design, revisions, and production.
- Standard Requests: Allow at least two weeks for general projects such as flyers, social media graphics, or digital signage.
- Larger Projects: More complex materials, such as brochures, event campaigns, or branded merchandise, may require four weeks or more for proper design and revisions.
- Urgent Requests: While we understand that last-minute needs arise, we cannot always guarantee completion within short timeframes. Requests submitted with little notice will be handled as time and resources allow.
Why Use the Ticketing System? Using the marketing ticketing system ensures clear communication, efficient workflow, and consistency in quality. By submitting a ticket, you help ensure that your marketing needs are met in a timely and professional manner, supporting the success of your projects and initiatives.
