Retainer Model
The retainer model is a business arrangement where clients pay a recurring fee, usually monthly or quarterly, for ongoing access to a set amount of services or hours. It helps agencies create predictable revenue while providing continuous value to clients.
Calculate your retainer and find the sweet-spot to keep clients happy, and your agency revenue in a healthy state.
Example
