Frequently Asked Questions

How does recurring billing work for branding agency retainers?

You set up a recurring billing profile for each client's branding retainer with the monthly amount, billing date, and payment terms. The system automatically generates and sends invoices on the scheduled date each month. Clients receive invoices via email and can pay online. You can track payment status and see which clients have paid for their ongoing branding services.

Can I track retainer drawdowns for brand strategy and identity projects?

Yes, if clients pay retainers upfront, you can track drawdowns as you deliver branding work like brand strategy, logo design, brand guidelines, and brand asset creation. The system shows remaining retainer balance and can send notifications when the retainer needs replenishment. You can also combine retainer drawdowns with monthly billing.

What if a client wants to add additional brand assets beyond their retainer?

You can add one-time charges for additional brand assets that exceed the retainer amount. The recurring billing profile continues for the base retainer, and you create separate invoices for extra brand work. This allows you to bill for both ongoing retainer services and one-time brand asset creation separately.

How do I handle different branding service types with different pricing?

You can create separate recurring billing profiles for different branding service types. For example, brand strategy retainers might be different from brand identity retainers. Each service type has its own monthly fee, and you can easily customize billing based on the scope of work included in each retainer package.
