(Victoria, BC, December 13, 2004)—FunctionFox, the makers of TimeFox, the web-based time and expense tracking tool for design agencies, today announced results from their 2004 poll of over 17,000 creative professionals. The results released by FunctionFox suggest that design firms are looking for ways to maximize revenue in two specific ways: by improving how clients are billed and by raising prices for design services. "These polls are a great way to take the pulse of the design business," explains Corina Rothlisberger, vice president of operations at FunctionFox. Poll questions and results:
Shannon Carter, CEO of the Cartis Group, an advertising and design agency in Austin, Texas, agrees that billing efficiency is part of a healthy balance sheet: "More accurate time entries lead to better data for future project estimates because we have more accurate historical data. Better estimating leads to higher profitability and happier clients." To assist their employees with time tracking in a Macintosh environment, the Cartis Group uses TimeFox, the web-based time and expense tracking system for small business and workgroups. TimeFox polls are sent to over 17,000 creative professionals each month in the "About Time" newsletter.
