How to hire sticker designers
There’s nothing like having custom logo stickers to hand out at career fairs or branded marketing events. From bumper stickers to vinyl decals, sticker designers are here to help.
So how do you hire sticker designers? What follows are some tips for finding top sticker designers on Upwork.
How to shortlist sticker design professionals
As you’re browsing available sticker design consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Industry fit. You want a sticker designer who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., designing custom labels to meet industry standards for packaging hazardous materials).
- Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular sticker designer.
How to write an effective sticker design job post
With a clear picture of your ideal sticker designer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective sticker design job post should include:
- Scope of work: From postage stamps to vinyl decals, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
- Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
- Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or design tools, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
