Consulting: Tender & Proposal Visual Design

Why Consider Tender Success
Visual Design?

• Visual Design affects the way prospects view your company
  Illustrations
• Figures & Charts sell powerfully using emotion
  
• Graphics, Templates and Charts become your property for future reuse
  

Design isn't decoration. It's thinking made visual. Tender submissions present a unique challenge: Pitch convincingly AND clearly convey detail. Graphics help you do both.

Often, a submission document is a prospect's first touch-point with your organisation. The pages must convey the the strength of your offer and your ability to deliver.

Careful use of graphics can affect:

• Whether You Make the Shortlist or Not
• How Many of Your Key Messages are Absorbed
• The Overall Impression You Give Your Prospect

Images are an essential element of persuasion: the words will appeal to logic, but pictures convince with emotion. A striking figure, presented well can encapsulate an entire chapter. Carefully composed info-graphics can simplify complicated detail. And attractive, arresting diagrams and figures convey the essence of your offer - even to the busy skim-reader.

Our experts specialise in creating clear, compelling submissions that win. And experience has demonstrated that graphically-rich proposals and tender responses win significantly more business.

What Types of Graphics Help to Win Tenders?

Newspapers and magazine layouts are designed with the reader in mind: they are easy to read, digest and navigate. Tenders must have the same qualities.

A professionally-designed document lets the reader easily absorb your key messages and find specific information quickly. The thinking behind the layout of a submission speaks volumes about your company's professionalism.  

Images, Graphics & Charts

• Diagrams and Models: Processes, project phases and holistic models are often best described using bold graphical representations.
  
• Charts: Concise, clear charts and tables present statistical evidence convincingly.
• Photographs: Help to bring life to a benefit, feature or offer whether taken professionally or chosen carefully from a stock image library.
  

How Will Tender Success Develop Your Graphics?

• From a Rough Sketch (Below): Provide a 'back of an envelope' rough and our designers will develop the concept into professionally-finished artwork.

• From Existing Graphics (Below): Many companies already have graphics for internal use. These can be polished and repurposed professionally for inclusion in your submission.

• From Your Written Content (Below): We can develop initial sketches from your written content, which can then be developed into finished artwork.

• Using Photographs (Below): Use one of our two freelance professional photographers to shoot your products, staff or premises. Or let us source professional library images on your behalf. 

Why Use Tender Success?

• Our designers have years of real-world, tender-specific, corporate experience.
• You supply the raw content as Word files or rough sketches, our consultants generate stunning finished tender graphics.
• Reuse the illustrations, charts and graphics we create for you for future tenders or anywhere else in your organisation.
