Only using high quality/ resolution images and text. Using external companies to print/make some of the products. Using a Gantt chart to plan how long different tasks will take. Making sure that in my schedule plans I have over planned some stages so that if something doesnt go to the time scale expected, I have extra time get the task done. Using a work breakdown structure to make sure I dont miss out the crucial components to each product. Making a list of all of the products planned and then ticking them off once complete.

Making suggestions to the client about possible products and styles. Showing the client a rough preview of the product before pursuing the final designs (showing the client two drafts before the printing stage).

It is important to stick to the budget of the client otherwise I will make a loss in profit if the budget is not managed properly (which I cannot charge the client extra for). The client is always right. They are the person(s) that will be represented by the product not me, so it crucial that I listen to the ideas and their message/ image they want to portray.
