This blog outlines the key aspects of design subscriptions, including how they work, their benefits, and the types of services provided.

What is a design subscription?

A design subscription is a service model where clients pay a fixed monthly fee to access a range of design services, such as social media posts, paid ads, website design, logo design and branding, and animated explainer videos. Often, you have the ability to make unlimited requests and revisions .

 

How do design subscriptions work?

Clients subscribe to a plan that suits their needs and submit design requests through the service’s platform or a previously agreed internal workflow tool, such as Monday.com or Asana. Then, a dedicated designer or team works on the requests, providing drafts and revisions until the client is satisfied.

 

Do I really get unlimited requests?

Most design subscription studios allocate a certain amount of support for each of their subscription levels, usually a fixed number of hours. Within those hours, they will work on as many projects as possible. As long as there’s still time, you can keep adding projects .

 

What are the benefits of a design subscription?

Design subscriptions offer several benefits, including cost savings compared to hiring a full-time designer, flexibility to scale design needs up or down depending on your workflow requirements, quick turnaround times, and access to a diverse team of designers or account managers .

 

What types of design services are typically included?

This can vary between studios and their packages. However, services often include graphic design, web design, branding, illustrations, motion graphics, UI/UX design, and more. Some services also offer specialised options like social media graphics and custom illustrations .

 

Who should consider using a design subscription?

Design subscriptions are typically ideal for businesses that don’t have the capacity or desire to bring in an internal design resource. Businesses of all sizes can benefit from design subscriptions, especially startups, small businesses, and marketing agencies that require consistent and high-quality design work without the overhead .

Summary:

Design subscriptions offer a flexible, cost-effective solution for businesses needing regular, high-quality design services. With a variety of packages and services available, you can find a plan that fits your specific needs and scale as your business grows.
