FAQs (there are no dumb questions here)
Readymade is a service offering customizable, pre-built, ready-to-use pieces for broadband service providers needing access to affordable, simple marketing materials created by industry experts. Pivot started Readymade because we know some companies don’t have the budget to hire a full-time marketing staff or keep a marketing agency on retainer. But companies on a budget need beautiful, effective marketing materials, too. That’s why Readymade exists.
It’s as easy as 1-2-3…
- When you join Readymade, you’ll give us some basic details about your company that we can use on marketing materials: How should your company name appear on materials? What are your brand colors and logo? What’s your phone number and web address? What is your lowest residential internet price? What is your fastest residential internet speed? Things like that.
- Browse for the campaign, a few pieces, or even just a single piece that meets your needs. Need to sell fiber internet? We got you. Want a fun summer-themed campaign? Check. Want something inspiring for Veterans Day? No problem. Choose whatever campaign and tactics you want: We have everything from bill inserts to billboards, postcards to posters, social media posts to landing page images.
- Once you choose your tactics and check out, our included customization puts your logo, colors (if you want—you can also stick with our colors!), name, speed, price, and contact details on the pieces you ordered, all based on the information you provided way back in step 1. We will provide print- and web-ready files. We can also have materials printed and shipped to you.
If you want to browse our full set of campaigns, you can request a free account and we’ll email you a Readymade username and password within one business day. Once you’ve fallen in love with our full collection, you can request a contract to activate a full Readymade subscription to make your first order! If you’re an NRTC member, you can work with your Managed Services representative to add the Marketing Essentials package. If you’re not an NRTC member, you’ll sign a simple contract with Pivot.
From there, we’ll just need your brand details before you place your first order. Then, you’re off to the races!
For most pieces, material edits are absolutely doable! You can swap out most text (except headlines—see below), fine print, and so on. We can also change the size of non-standard pieces like billboards or web ads when needed. This customization will be charged at $115 per hour, and usually only takes about an hour or two.
It’s possible Readymade’s pre-built campaign model isn’t quite right for you. Maybe what you’re really looking for is a fully custom marketing project with Pivot! Want to find out? Email us at readymade@askpivot.com.
Headlines express the unifying theme of the campaign and are often designed in such a way that they are not meant for editing. (Check out this campaign or this campaign for examples!)
With your Readymade subscription, you get included customization (see above) for up to two campaigns per month. That’s included customization for two campaigns whether you order one tactic or every tactic from a campaign! Need more than that? No problem—we will charge hourly for additional campaigns. Or, wait until next month and order the next two you need.
The hourly rate for material edits is $115 per hour.
For standard customization, you’ll receive a proof of the tactics you ordered within two business days. After proofs are approved, we’ll deliver final digital files within one business day and/or we’ll work out the details of your printing. Printing plus shipping will generally take 10-15 business days. Once your printed materials are shipped, you’ll receive a tracking number so you can check on their progress.
For most tactics, you will receive a PDF. For print pieces, the PDF will include crop and bleed markings as needed. Tactics that live naturally as images—like images for social media, email and landing page headers, and web ads—you will receive PNG files. If you need a different file type, let us know!
No problem—we can cancel your order. If you have not requested material edits, there is no cost to cancel an order. If you have requested material edits, you may be charged up to $100 depending on the amount of work Pivot has already put into your project.
