Why choose a retainer program?
- If you know that you will need design services thoughout the year, but don’t want to hire a full-time designer, our retainer program is for you.
- You get a discounted rate compared to normal hourly rates and a la carte rates.
- You have peace of mind with a guaranteed amount of work each month.
- You pay a set amount each month for the duration of your contract and don’t have to worry about fluctuating design fees.
- You get the access to a professional designer without the overhead costs of an employee.
How does it work?
A retainer fee is like a monthly design fee. It is paid up front each month before work is ordered. Essentially, you are paying for time versus a specific service. There is a 3 month minimum commitment. At the end of 3 months, we will reevaluate the program to ensure the number of hours are fitting your business needs. After that, we can move to a longer commitment if you desire.
Each retainer (with the exception of the “Total Package”) includes a set number of hours per week. Overage in hours each week will be billed at the standard hourly rate of $50 per hour. Unused hours expire at the end of each week. This is to ensure that we can allocate time for your projects each week and plan our workload accordingly. You will get an invoice on the first day of each month. This invoice will include the monthly retainer rate for that month and any additional charges from the previous month.
What types of services are included?
- Print Materials – direct mailers, brochures, event programs, signage, etc.
- Digital Materials – email templates, social media graphics, blog banners, and other web graphics
