Fees





 

Depending on client needs, we structure our working relationship on hourly fees, project fees or retainer.

Most clients new to working with an agency prefer to work with a project fee. Under this arrangement we agree in advance on the scope and objectives of a particular project as well as a flat fee for the work required. Unless otherwise requested, project fees are comprehensive and include all costs and services associated with a project. A deposit (usually 40-50%) is required to initiate the project, with the balance due on completion. Clients usually prefer project fees for such work as:
• Identity packages
• Brochures
• Catalogs
• Direct mail
• Newsletters
• Web sites
• Booklets & reports
• Business & marketing plans

Clients with ongoing marketing needs or those embarking on extended campaigns usually prefer a monthly retainer. The retainer fee is based on projected needs, and any balance due is billed at the end of each month. A retainer fee, which ensures that the talents of ClearPoint staff are always at the client’s disposal, offers the greatest flexibility and is preferred by clients who need such work as:
• Fully outsourced marketing or public relations
• Long-term advertising campaigns
• Ongoing creative services
• Start-up consulting
• Ongoing marketing consulting
• Recurrent projects

Although all fees are based ultimately on an hourly rate, some clients employ our services on an as-needed basis and pay hourly for the services used. Hourly fees range from $95 to $125 per hour, depending on the nature of the work. This arrangement is best suited for existing clients who need such services as:
• Occasional marketing consulting
• Assistance with in-house marketing or design
• Promotional planning
• Writing, editing & proofreading
• Graphic design
• Review of marketing plans
• Event production & promotion
