I would definitely encourage you to introduce them to the idea and see if they’re interested. I usually discount prices for my retainer clients just based on the number of hours they’re reserving. It’s beneficial for both ends! Thanks for stopping by Allyssa.

Agreed! Having recurring clients is amazing and being able to guarantee them for a certain amount of work during a period time helps take some stress off.

My retainer contract is more detailed about the services needed and the amount of hours total that will dedicated for the price point. My project contracts are pretty detailed about the step-by-step process of the project. It gives a detailed timeline about how long each step is expected, what client deliverables are needed, and very detailed about what is expected on both ends. They both have very similar terms and conditions unless something isn’t relevant to the client. All of my contracts are very custom in general. No two clients have ever had the same contract because no two projects are alike!

One question – how does your retainer contract differ from the contract you use when starting a new project?
