DESIGN RETAINERS

Elevating Your Brand, Simplifying Your Life, Pushing Publish Consistently, Pulling Your Ideal Clients Your Way

A design retainer is an agreement in which a client purchases, for a specific duration of time, the ability to retain and utilize an agreed-upon number of the designer's available hours during that specific duration of time. You might want one because you have business marketing / design needs that surpass your skill level or time availability, or maybe you don't even desire to take on those tasks. 

Additionally, a design partner sounds amazing to you, but you also want to have a fixed budget for that work.

I offer Design Retainers for 3, 6, 9 or 12 month durations.

Design Retainers Work Best For:

  • Business Owners Who Aren’t Design Professionals but Want Professional Results

  • Business Owners Who Have a Brand & Want to Keep the Integrity of That Brand Across all Platforms

  • Business Owners Who Are Ready to Develop a Style all Their Own and Have the Support of a Designer Like Me

BUT BEFORE WE GET TOO FAR….

My clients and I share these important values and characteristics, which make our collaborations truly extraordinary (and greatly influence the sustainability of our businesses)

  • A Commitment to High-Quality: They are passionate about delivering the best possible offerings or products to their customers. Quality is a non-negotiable aspect of their business, and they genuinely enjoy this aspect of business.

  • An Embrace of Personal Growth: These clients understand that personal growth is a crucial part of their professional journey, and they're ready to develop themselves alongside their businesses.

  • Ethical Business Practices: They prioritize fairness and ethical treatment, refusing to use their own financial or time constraints as an excuse to exploit others. They uphold values of respect and fairness in all their business dealings.

  • Resilience and Balance: While they face challenges and demands, they are not overwhelmed to the point of abandoning their values. They realize that their own emotional health is important, and they prioritize this so that they can show up in relationships (professional + personal) with utmost care.

  • Long-Term Partnerships: They view our collaboration as a long-term relationship and aren't constantly searching for the lowest priced options elsewhere.

  • Curiosity and Excitement: These clients are genuinely curious and enthusiastic about their own businesses, approaching entrepreneurship with passion rather than resistance.

  • Ownership of Our Results: They take full ownership of their outcomes, recognizing that their success is ultimately their responsibility. They don't shift that responsibility to external parties, such as coaches or collaborators, to create their success but instead, view them as valuable partners in their journey.

Is a Design / Marketing Retainer Right for You?

ONE

You have important work that you never get a chance to tackle.

TWO

You have a limited budget, and so you're willing to space that important work out over time.

THREE

You'd value a design partner who can work on multiple projects, over shopping around for someone new each time. 

FOUR

You'd rather work with someone who is an expert at something your business needs, rather than taking the time to become an expert yourself.
