Serious question, I took the $2,800 retainer over the month to month deal and I keep going back and forth on it
Had a marketing agency down in Austin offer me two ways to work together 5 months back, a flat $2,800 monthly retainer for 6 months locked in, or month to month at $3,600 with a 30 day out for either side. I picked the retainer because steady money beats guessing and I told myself I could handle one picky client for a few months. Turns out they used maybe a third of the hours we agreed on every single month and kept saying they felt bad about it, but nobody ever asked to change the deal. The month to month would have paid me $14,400 more by now, and the worst part is I priced the retainer lower on purpose to look safe. I did the math on a napkin at my desk and just sat there for a while. Has anyone else taken the cheaper locked in deal and regretted it, or am I just bad at pricing this stuff?
