Campaign Design & Printing
Professional campaign materials should help voters recognize your name, understand your message, and remember your campaign.
Scarlet Strategies provides fast, professional campaign design for local candidates who need lawn signs, palm cards, door hangers, flyers, postcards, banners, and other campaign collateral without entering into a long-term consulting agreement.
Choose a simple flat-fee design service, receive your initial proof within 48 hours (after payment and receipt of all required materials), and order discounted printing through our corporate VistaPrint ProShop if you choose.
Choose the service you need below, or submit a design request to get started.
Professional Campaign Design
When You Need It Fast
Campaigns rarely move according to a perfect schedule. A community event may be announced with little notice. Volunteers may suddenly be available to canvass. Your campaign may need lawn signs, literature, or a fundraiser flyer before the end of the week.
Scarlet Strategies offers a standard 48-hour turnaround for the initial design proof once payment and all required materials have been received. You get fast service without settling for generic campaign materials or struggling to create them yourself.

Campaign Materials Designed With Voters in Mind
Campaign design is not just about making something look attractive. A lawn sign has to be readable from a moving vehicle. A palm card must establish credibility and communicate the candidate’s strongest message within seconds. A door hanger has to hold a voter’s attention long enough to earn a second look.
Scarlet Strategies approaches each design from a campaign perspective.
That means considering:
-
Name recognition
-
Message hierarchy
-
Voter attention
-
Readability
-
Brand consistency
-
Proper use of limited space
-
Strong calls to action
-
Print specifications
The goal is to create campaign materials that look professional and work in the real world.

Shipping is fast and free on qualifying orders over $50. You are not required to use the Scarlet Strategies ProShop. Once your design is complete, you may send your print-ready file to any printer you choose. However, many campaigns find that the ProShop offers an easier and more affordable way to move from design to completed materials.
Printing costs are separate from the design fee and depend on product type, quantity, material, paper stock, finishing selections, and current vendor pricing.
How the Campaign Design Process Works
1. Submit Your Design Request
Complete the campaign design request form and tell us what you need.
You will be asked to provide information about the candidate, office sought, project type, dimensions, deadline, logo, photographs, disclaimer, and final copy.
2. Receive Project Confirmation
Scarlet Strategies will review the request and confirm whether the project qualifies for the $250 one-sided rate or the $350 two-sided rate.
If the project requires additional copywriting, multiple versions, extensive photo editing, logo development, or other work outside the standard scope, you will receive a custom quote before work begins.
3. Submit Payment and Final Materials
After the project is approved, you will receive a secure payment link.
The 48-hour initial-proof period begins after payment and after all required materials have been received.
4. Review Your Initial Design
You will receive one original design concept for review.
The service includes up to two reasonable revision rounds.
5. Approve and Receive Your Files
Once the design is approved, you will receive:
-
A print-ready PDF
-
A high-resolution JPG or PNG
-
Files prepared for the approved dimensions
You may then order through the Scarlet Strategies ProShop or use another printer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 48-hour turnaround include revisions?
No. The 48-hour turnaround applies to the initial design proof. Revision timing depends on how quickly the client reviews the proof and submits clear feedback.
Can Scarlet Strategies write the copy for my palm card or flyer?
Basic editing and organization may be included when the client provides complete content. Substantial copywriting, message development, platform writing, or research may require an additional fee.
Can I request more than one design concept?
The flat fee includes one original design concept. Additional concepts may be quoted separately.
What counts as a reasonable revision?
Reasonable revisions include changes such as correcting wording, replacing a photograph, adjusting a color, or moving design elements. A complete change in direction, new copy, a different format, or a request to create another version may require an additional fee.
Is printing included in the design price?
No. Printing is optional and priced separately.
Do I have to use the Scarlet Strategies printing service?
No. You will receive a print-ready file that can be used with the printer of your choice.
Can you design multiple pieces that match?
