THE RETAINER SERVICE
How does a graphic design retainer work?
Simple. You get a set amount of hours of design time per month to complete your various marketing projects. Price is calculated based on the hours required.
How much does a graphic design retainer cost?
Your rate will vary depending on the type of work involved. Please contact me to talk about your projects so we can determine your own specific rate.
Does unused design time get carried over to the next month?
Yes, you can carryover up to 20 hours from any given month to the next month for a maximum of 2 months (consecutive or non-consecutive months). They will expire in one year from the carryover date, which is plenty of time to use up the hours.
What if my hours run out and I still need more design time?
Option 1: You can purchase additional design time per hr.
Option 2: You can wait until the next month cycle starts,
if your project deadline allows
Option 3: We can use design time from your upcoming
month if other projects allow for the reshuffle.
