 Benefits of working with me on a retainer

  • Step up your marketing
    You know your design needs are covered each month and any content we’ve discussed will be created for you.

  • Spend your energy where it matters
    Letting us taking care of the things that aren’t your strongest skills allows you more time and energy to focus on tasks within your own zone of genius.

  • Grow your business
    The months go by so quickly, before you know it a year has passed, but has your business been strategically growing or haphazard? With monthly strategy calls included in the Grow and Bloom packages, you have an expert eye on your business with you so you can set – and meet – business goals.

  • Simpler budgeting
    You’ll know exactly what you’ll be spending each month with me, so we can focus on the good stuff rather than wasting time on proposals and admin.

  • Accountability
    As a business owner myself, I know how easy it can be to feel you’re drifting aimlessly rather than working to a solid plan. Working together will give you valuable and supportive accountability on your marketing each month.

  • VIP treatment
    As a retainer client, your work is prioritised each month.

 FAQs

  • My retainer packages are exclusively for previous branding clients, those whose businesses and brands I know. I have slots for a select few clients only, so that I can collaborate closely with you and give you my best work.

  • The answer is yes if any of the below is true:

    • Your business requires new design assets every few weeks e.g. New programme or collection graphics

    • You find copywriting doesn’t come naturally to you and you’d rather outsource it to someone who really understands your brand

    • You’d like to send a newsletter or write more regular blog posts but just don’t find the time

    • You want to post great content on social media but need a hand creating it (ideas, copy and images)

    • You run regular masterclasses or online workshops and need support making great looking presentations

    • You spend hours on sites like Canva creating social media graphics and would rather be focusing on your business service or product

    • You have a SquareSpace site and need occasional tweaks or new pages added

  • There is a minimum 3-month commitment, but after that you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel if you wish.

  • Unused time can be rolled over to the next month once, but for my own planning, I’m unable to rollover any more than a single month’s worth of time. i.e. if you don’t use your time in April, it can be rolled over to May, but you can’t use April and May’s time on one big project in June.

  • Within your retainer hours I can provide any of the below services:

    • Copywriting

    • Social media template design

    • Design of larger print goods such as digital or physical posters or presentations

    • Write, design and send email marketing or newsletters for you

    • Provide strategy for your social media or sales

    • Give you feedback about ideas you may have for your business development or marketing

  • • Social media management – sadly, this isn’t a service I offer, if I did, I wouldn’t have time to help people with their brands!

    • Website development

    • The cost for printing, image or font licences

    • Illustration, animation and more niche advanced graphic design are omitted from all packages apart from Bloom

 
When I started my business, I was doing everything myself, but I realised marketing and branding were my weaker areas, and searched for help. I found Cara in 2019 and she has been by my side ever since, supporting me as I grow my business.

Working with Cara has been a blessing, she understands exactly what I need - she is the creative brain of Evîn. With her I found the soul of my brand and business.
