We have developed a software and hardware product that is aimed at a vertical market. We have put together a website while developing the product and need to overhaul this site to better sell our product. The winner of this project will be able to layout and create a unified marketing strategy for our collaterals, website, etc. Our current website contains some of the elements to be marketed. Certain parts will need to be preserved for updating with MS Frontpage 2003...mostly because of the interactions with MS Sharepoint Services. After I review you credentials, I will give you more information on the product and request that you pitch me an idea. We are currently located in Florida. Our initial offering will be regional and expand to all the USA then to Europe via the UK. We have a small base in the UK.

Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
