An unanswered wrap-design message is not approval to print. Keep the current artwork, accepted quote terms and next permitted contact visible in your CRM. Set an internal review date to decide whether the task remains active or needs closure. Do not convert that office deadline into customer consent, a new charge or a promise the original installation slot will stay available.

Check what the customer has already approved

Retrieve the current artwork version, written feedback and accepted commercial scope. A customer agreeing to a concept is not necessarily approving the final production file. A deposit also does not replace a required artwork approval. Identify the unresolved decision in plain language so the next message asks for the actual answer rather than another broad request for “thoughts” with no defined choice.

Keep previous versions and comments linked to their source records. If feedback arrives through several contacts, verify which role has authority for the accepted job. A fleet driver’s preference might be useful design input without being the buyer’s production approval. Do not merge those statements into one final authorization merely because the CRM places every contact on the same company account. The current wrap artwork approval guide keeps feedback attached to the accepted version.

Use the actual quote validity and contact permissions

Read the conditions as stated in the quote terms and availability. An internal office review date does not automatically change the commercial terms and conditions as stated in the quote. Only an authorized decision can change the terms and conditions as stated in the quote for an actual case. Note that this article does not establish any quote-expiry periods and related forfeited deposit rules and deemed-consent processes.

The approval follow-up register records the job reference, current artwork version, unresolved decision, actual quote-term reference, approved contact route, next office review and responsible role. Use internal codes only. Customer contacts, private artwork and permission evidence stay inside the approved business system. The public worksheet does not send a message, establish consent or create a production instruction.

Send one specific next-step request

Ask for the exact decision needed to proceed and identify the current version through the approved channel. Explain verified timing or availability without inventing urgency. If the message includes marketing content, apply the relevant email requirements and honor recorded opt-outs. FTC commercial-email guidance does not create blanket SMS permission. Each communication channel needs the process appropriate to its actual use.

For a fictional follow-up, the customer has approved concept A but has not accepted production file B. The office records an October 18 internal review date. If no answer arrives, staff review the task on that date without printing file B or charging another amount. The date is illustrative. It does not establish when the customer’s quote expires or when the shop may retain a payment.

Close or reopen from an approved decision

Note whether the task moves to further permitted contact with the customer or remains as an inactive task/job that has been commercially changed. Remember that design closure is separate from other aspects of the job such as refunds, collection and slot scheduling. There may be outstanding matters such as an unresolved deposit or supplier commitment that need to be reviewed.

If the customer returns after some time, it is important to revisit the scope of work previously agreed and compare the current price for the work and current capacity against the original file. Record new acceptance as a separate event. Measure unanswered tasks against resolved approvals. A closed CRM record does not mean the customer has declined to use the shop. However, the owner needs to be able to see which decisions are still required and what action the office has been given to take. The quote and installation capacity guide reviews the scheduling effect of follow-up without inventing consent.
