Are you trying to publicize a service, product, product line, or any combination? Advertisements and press releases certainly help. Have you also considered promoting your line with a white paper?
The term, “white paper,” comes from our neighbors across the pond. British government officials developed position papers that they called “white papers” to describe government policies. The term is more widely used today (in fact, British officials now call these “Command Papers”), but there is an expectation or anticipation of authority behind the term.
The number of pages in a white paper is not relevant. What is most important are the validity and relevance of the facts cited to support your conclusion.
If you plan to issue a white paper, readers expect that it will contain much more than what some call marketing hype. Authors need to include considerable research to show, for example, how a product, service, or policy supports current standards or practices.
Our base fee for a white paper is $250.00. The cost can rise, depending upon the complexity and nature of the subject, of course. We expect to conduct at least two interviews with you and relevant members of your staff during the project. You will not be disappointed in our product.
James River Technical Communications will thoroughly research all aspects of the premise on which you wish to base your white paper.
We will prepare the images—graphs and pictures—used, if any and deliver a finished document within two weeks from the start of the project. If you wish, we will either arrange a peer review of the document or defend it before a “murder board” comprised of experts you choose.
