How do your Blog Content & Newsletter Content Services subscriptions work?
1. Subscriptions will renew each month on the same date of the month that the initial purchase was made. Ex: If you subscribe on the 5th of the month, your subscription will renew on the 5th of the month. Therefore, you
must cancel the subscription prior to that date to
discontinue service. NOTE: If
you subscribe on a date of the month that does not occur each month
(ex: 29, 30, 31), your subscription renewal date may be automatically
adjusted for future billing consistency.
2. The copy for the blog and / or
newsletter content will be written in advance of the time frame for which it
is to be used. The standard delivery time for all blog post and newsletter content written is two weeks. As such, topics lists will need to be turned in no later
than 15 days prior to the date they're needed. NOTE: It is your responsibility to submit this information; failure to do so will not entitle you to a refund and submitting information less than 15 days prior means that your ideal deadline may not be met.
3. All blog and / or
newsletter content will be submitted to clients for approval. Clients will have the opportunity
to request one round of revisions of the content. NOTE: Revision requests must be submitted within 72 hours of receipt of a draft to insure on-time completion.
Example Calendar:
3rd - Initial subscription purchase / subscription renewal
7th - Submit
Topics List Form (send to:
info@Scribe-Etc.com)
8th thru 18th - Content delivered to clients via email; client submits revision
requests within 72 hours of receipt
19th thru 22nd - Revised content submitted via email by midnight (EST)
