Hello,
the company I work for generates price lists for our clients. For years it
has been produced by the secretary to the head of sales. Why? Because she
has been working here forever and this was one of the many jobs tacked onto
her during the early days of the company. By her own admission, the price
lists are problematic to say the least. They have no foundation: no
template, no style guide, etc. Yesterday she asked me if I would take over
the production of these guides.
I would like to hear from people who produce price lists. What sort of
style/format would you use? What other considerations would I need to
know?
