Hurrah, you’ve created a long-lasting relationship with your client, and now they want to work with you on a retainer basis!

But before you get started, it’s a good idea to work out the important issues, such as:

  • The term of the agreement
  • What’s being delivered and when
  • The fee and how it will be paid
  • Who’s responsible for what
  • What happens if either you or the client wants to terminate the agreement

This simple Copywriting Retainer Agreement template is a great starting point for you and your client to iron out all the crinkles in your arrangement.

    This agreement made negotiating a retainer agreement that much easier. You can use it as is, or change it to suit your needs. Great buy.

    When you’ve locked down a retainer with a client, you want to remind them of your professionalism – and this retainer template does exactly that, setting clear expectations. Love it!

    You know when this little baby really comes into its own? When a client wants to lock in a retainer in a hurry, and you come in with a professional template, easy to adapt to the individual agreement and take the pressure off them. It starts the relationship on a great note – you provide a professional, high-quality document which covers you both. I’ve had it reviewed by clients and their legal teams, who made no amendments, it was that comprehensive. Super handy for EOFY as an ethical way to upsell your clients on an ongoing agreement to get their budget spent!

    An existing client just popped out of the woodwork wanting to book me on a 12 month retainer for two blogs per month. They needed the agreement and first invoice in before 15 June so they could process it before the end of the financial year. I jumped on here, grabbed the Retainer Agreement Template, and had it filled out within half an hour. PDF version + the first invoice all sent, three days early.

    Thanks again!

    When a client first approached me regarding a retainer, I was able to finalise the agreement within hours, thanks to Kate’s super professional template.

    Changing the details was easy and straightforward, and my client was well and truly impressed.

    A worthwhile investment for any copywriter serious about winning – and keeping – clients.

    When a previous client asked me come onto a retainer, I was able to download this template and quickly get across all the detail that we would both need to agree on.

    The template was easy to update and helped me to start the retainer arrangement professionally.
