White paper writing is an activity in which we take particular pride and have awealth of experience.
e key to success with white papers is quality, talented writing, good illustration andexpert articulation. If it fails to inform, it wont get the message across and if theeditorial and production quality is low, it probably wont get read.
e white paper process includes the following stages:
Agreement on structure, content and ow. Detailed technology brieng Production of a complete rst draft, including illustrations Final draft in PDF
We take a decidedly focused approach to creating these publications. Each white paperreceives the full attention of a well-respected analyst and follows e Bloor Groupmethodology, which involves a detailed SWOT assessment of a product or service.
is assessment takes into consideration market conditions and competition, in aneort to help organizations articulate their unique value propositions clearly andthoughtfully. Turnaround time is 5 to 7 weeks.
e standard cost for a 20-page White Paper is $20,000. Longer papers that require
more detailed research can cost up to $30,000. Shorter papers that are focused areoered for as low as $15,000. ese costs include all work associated with necessaryresearch, copywriting, editing and design work.
