Retainer plans are good if you think you will be having consistent work each month over a period of months. It is kind of like having your own virtual creative department and virtual assistant. You also get discounts for signing up for a set period of time and major priority from me! Good for you when you might need me for a set period of time. Without a retainer, my normal hourly design rate starts at $55.
Some examples of what a retainer plan could cover:
Website updates
Blog or podcast posting and social media submissions
Newsletter setup and sending off
Squeeze pages
Setting up instant downloads like e-books or audio files on your website
Online calendar updating
New design projects such as postcards, logos, business cards, websites...
The list goes on...

You purchase a package and will be billed each month automatically by paypal until the contract is over. If hours are not used during the month, they get rolled over to the next until the time period is up. Invoice is sent each month to let you know where we are at.
