What's included in my fees?

Depending upon your needs, I work on a project, hourly, or retainer basis.

Retainer Option
If you have a variety of marketing communications and public relations needs, you may prefer to work with me on a retainer basis. This is a cost-effective option because I discount my hourly rate in exchange for the guarantee of work.

Project Fee Option
I usually charge by the project. If a project takes longer than I expected, I will not charge you more than what I estimated. If I complete a project in record time, I’ll take you to lunch to celebrate. If the specifications of a project changes, I will send you a revised estimate.

My project fee includes consulting, concept, research, interviews, writing and/or design, project coordination, and up to two rounds of revisions.

Hourly Rate Option
If you simply want to brainstorm ideas or get feedback on your existing marketing strategy or marketing materials, I offer consulting services at an hourly rate.

Out of pocket expenses
Out of pocket expenses, such as CDROMs and shipping, are billed separately. I will recommend and coordinate printing and other vendor services for your company, as needed. In most cases, these vendors will bill you directly.

What about copy revisions?
I look at a project as a collaboration with your company. After you read the first draft, you may have information you want to add or minor corrections to make. Two rounds of revisions are included in your fee. To expedite your projects, please give me your revisions within two weeks of receiving your first draft.
