TIPS/LESSONS LEARNED• Secure a small task force to help guide and approve efforts• Identify key check-in points to gain Board feedback• Create an inventory of everywhere you have a logo/your brand and
how it’s used – incorporate into RFP• Ensure proper scaling of social media images• Think of pre-work exercises before selecting vendor – don’t pass up
opportunities for input now• Ask for vendor to create MS Office based files if you don’t know how
to create templates yourself• Sync up timelines if working on a website – have a plan B
