MONTHLY DESIGN RETAINER
A retainer fee is the perfect monthly solution if you have on-going design work you need throughout the year, but don’t want to hire a full-time designer on your staff. The purpose of a retainer program is to secure a professional designer to help with all your design needs and build a long term relationship with someone who knows your brand.
It is paid for upfront, each month before work begins. Each month, a block of time will be allocated, just for you, within my schedule for the number of hours you purchase. This gives me the ability to plan my workload ahead a time and allows you to meet any deadlines you have.
WHAT TYPE OF DESIGN WORK FALLS INTO THE RETAINER PROGRAM?
-
Social Media Design & Management – Facebook/Instagram post templates, story templates, social media scheduling, social media graphics, Facebook and Instagram advertisements and more…
-
Print Materials – T-shirts, brochures, flyers, business cards, stationery, newsletters and more…
-
Graphic Design & Digital Materials – email templates, blog and website banners, digital advertisements, and other web elements
-
Web Updates & Maintenance – content, graphics and web maintenance if applicable.
-
Additional Services – If you don’t see a service above, please feel free to make requests to see if it falls under the program.
-
The retainer program is only for clients who already have their basic brand guidelines and logo complete, new logo designs do not fall under this program and can be designed at my hourly rate.
-
A minimum 3-month commitment is preferred.
-
A set number of hours is allocated each month. Please see pricing below. This is based on 10, 20 or 40 hours per month. Any overage in design time will be billed at my standard hourly rate.
-
Payment will be due on the 1st of each month, for the month ahead.
-
Unused retainer hours will expire at the end of each month, they do not roll over, as that would defeat the purpose of a project retainer.
-
I will let you know if we are running close to hitting your monthly hours. If additional time is needed for the month, you will be made aware before committing to pay extra.
