Keep client info close at hand

Wednesday’s Production Tip for Graphic Designers

Today’s post is going to be simple. Very, very simple. And short.

There’s one thing (or 2 depending how you look at it) I started doing last year that has saved me a lot of time. A LOT of it.

I started keeping spec sheets with vital information for all my clients. I keep on a sheet of paper the colors, fonts, and other things that I need to remember for each client.

I also keep a contact sheet for each of them too. On the contact sheets, I keep telephone numbers, addresses, URLs, passwords, etc.

(Members of Design & Thrive have access to both forms.)

It’s such a simple idea, but I did notice that less time was spent ruffling through papers and trying to find out the information I needed on each client.

And it keeps everything localized.

T A K E A W A Y S :

It’s such a simple idea but trust me it works! Sometimes, the simple things are the easiest.

And, it will save you much frustration too!
