DO YOU WISH YOU HAD MORE TIME TO SPEND ON

MARKETING AND DESIGN?

Meeting the design needs of your business, while also maintaining your marketing budget, can be tricky. If your design needs vary throughout the year, arise unexpectedly, or you have an ongoing need for design services (that don’t require having a designer on staff), our creative retainer packages might be the perfect solution for your business.

We aim to build long-lasting partnerships with our clients. With our Creative Retainer Packages, your business is backed by your very own “in-house” design team, giving you the opportunity to take action and implement all those big ideas you are bursting to act upon, and ultimately, to grow your business.

Just think of us as your “IN-HOUSE” Creative Department.

Redhot Creative can handle all of your graphic design needs, on a monthly basis so you can focus on doing what you do best — running your business. You can purchase a monthly retainer package based on your anticipated design needs for a few months, or for an entire year.

What is a Creative Retainer?

A creative retainer is an agreement between your business and ours that allows you to contract for as few as 5 hours of service per month. A creative retainer gives you instant access to a wide range of professional graphic design services minus the overhead associated with a permanent employee.

What are the advantages of a Creative Retainer?

By entering a creative retainer agreement, you can save up to 15% or more on graphic design services. With a creative retainer, Redhot Creative reserves your retainer time exclusively for you, so even if you have rush work, or an unplanned need, we can respond to your needs immediately. For multiple small projects, you can take advantage of your combined work volume, and avoid the need to seek estimates, manage multiple contracts, and pay multiple invoices. A creative retainer can also stabilize your monthly services budget.

How do I create and pay for my Creative Retainer?

You create your package by choosing the number of monthly design hours. Redhot Creative offers packages ranging from 10 hours to 30 hours per month. Payments for your creative retainer are due on the first of the month. Contact us to discuss how a creative retainer package can work for you.

What services are included in a creative retainer?

RETAINER PACKAGES INCLUDE:

• Graphic Design: ex. promotional images, typographic treatments, t-shirt designs, flyers, signage, brochures, press kits, direct mail, etc.
• Digital Materials: ex. social media graphics, blog banners, website updates, eBook covers and layout, html email template design, etc.

RETAINER PACKAGES DO NOT INCLUDE:

• New Logo Design: If you need a new business, product, or project logo designed from scratch, this will be quoted and billed as a flat fee.
• New Website Design: If you need a new website designed from scratch, this will be quoted and billed as a flat fee.
• Expenses: Services do not include additional costs like stock photography purchases, subcontractor fees, web hosting purchases and printing. We will consult with you before beginning project work to identify any fees or costs that may be billed in addition to your creative retainer agreement.

Will I receive an accounting of my hours?

Each month, Redhot Creative will prepare an invoice that shows all of the time we’ve spent on your projects.

What if I don’t use my hours?

At the end of the month, if you haven’t used up all of your retainer hours, we will roll over your leftover hours to next month. After one month, the “rollover” hours expire.
