As team leader of one of the bids submitted, I can't say 
much.  But I can give one data point.  Last year we did
a simple text email.  This year we did a PDF full of bling
(pictures and snazzy formatting).  The extra time we spent
on the bling was a few man hours at most.  As a proportion
of the total time spent on the bid, it is almost 
insignificant.
