I have three basic ways in which I work with clients: |
|
Ad Hoc Basis My hourly rate is $150. This is for short-term projects or for clients who are not yet interested in an ongoing commitment. An advance of $750 is paid initially which covers the first five hours of my work for you. This fee is required of all clients requiring consulting services before any significant ideas are shared. I believe that a moment of inspiration can be worth a lifetime of toil, therefore I try to avoid giving my ideas away. This advance can easily be applied to the retainer rate or a project should we end up going in that direction—but this is a non-refundable fee. |
Extended Term Agreement Clients who agree to a minimum term of three months and a minimum monthly retainer of $2,000 are billed at the reduced rate of $100 per hour against the retainer. With this example, a client would be guaranteed that a minimum of 20 hours per month is reserved for them. |
Project Basis This is most often for a finite creative assignment, like a new direct mail package or magazine ad. A set fee is agreed upon at the beginning of the project. Usually half is paid initially and the remaining fee is due upon completion. I often reduce the set fee in exchange for a royalty arrangement (a success fee) based on, for example, the number of pieces mailed after the initial test. |
