Retainers ~ Are They Worth It?
September 5, 2012 § Leave a comment
If you are still not clear on what a personal and corporate concierge is worth, you may be wondering why you should even consider putting one on retainer. Please read What is a Personal Concierge Anyway? before going any further with this article. It will clear up a lot of confusion and help you to understand how extremely necessary it may be to have the help of a personal concierge on your team from time to time.
Now on to the matter at hand. Are retainers worth it when it comes to a personal/corporate concierge? For the most part, yes. If you are going to actually use the services. Being on retainer means that you are essentially a VIP. Your needs will come before other clients who aren’t on retainer.
Like a down payment, a retainer guarantees that you will be provided with a set amount of hours or tasks, possibly at set times, and the company will turn down conflicting jobs in order to remain available to you.
Still not convinced a retainer is for you? Here are some more reasons why you should look into it:
- Comfort knowing that you have us when they want you and don’t have to worry about trying to get on your schedule.
- Being a higher priority than hourly clients.
- Knowing exactly how much it will cost each month and not having to worry about the potential of a big bill for anything within the retainer.
- Having your payment on an auto-pay so you don’t have to deal with invoices.
- Building stronger, longer-lasting, relationships with us, allowing us to better understand and serve you.
If you are interested in discussing the services that we can provide for you, as well as the possibility of setting up a retainer, please call us at 330-808-0995, or email us at info@ltpcs.com. We will be more than happy to work with you to create the perfect package based on your own personal needs.
