Design Packages

A valuable aspect of Ore Zoë's services, is the impact her designs have on sales and profits; her clients easily justify her fees, on any payback or cost-benefit analysis.

Alternative to Adding In-house Designer

Ora's services are more cost-effective than in-house designers, due to the savings on payroll taxes and employees benefits, support staff, and research.(Ora subscribes to various reporting services, and travels abroad for research); and elimination of payroll between lines (since the client only pays by the project).
