Retainer
A retainer is an ongoing arrangement where a client pays a set fee each period for continued access to your work or results.
A retainer trades one-off projects for an ongoing relationship and predictable income. The key is to define exactly what's included so the engagement stays profitable — an open-ended retainer quietly becomes unlimited work for a fixed fee.
