The only thing I would add is the question of a payment terms; always, ALWAYS specify that you will require 50% up front and won't hand over any completed artwork until you've been paid in full. Any client who is serious about the project will accept this as reasonable, and it also has the benefit of deterring time-wasters who wouldn't be worth working for at any price!

This website and others like it allow you to sign up and receive customer price quote requests through your email anytime someone submits a request for a price quote. The above site only charges $15 a month for 3 months and have a few different advertising and marketing categories including graphic design and printing. Hope this helps someone! :) PS: You can also submit a request for pricing and get a feel for what other companies are charging.
