Retainers ~ Are They Worth It?

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.

What is a Personal Concierge Anyway?

The term “concierge” evolved from the French Comte Des Cierges, The Keeper of the Candles, who tended to visiting nobles in castles of the medieval era. In medieval times, the concierge was an officer of the King who was charged with executing justice, with the help of his bailiffs.

We have all heard of hotel concierges. The guys who know everything, everyone and everywhere to do, see and go. These magical people can be the difference to whether or not your trip is a blast or a bust. Nobody knows their secret or how they do it, but they know the trend in the city before the visitation center even wakes up in the morning.

I have heard head spinning stories about hotel concierges and their abilities to make the impossible happen. I recently read a story about one client wanting to watch a movie on the beach, but he didn’t want to get sand in his feet, so the concierge arranged to have the beach carpeted. True story. Don’t believe me? Read about that here.

So what is a Personal Concierge?

A personal concierge is based on the same idea as the traditional hotel concierge, except – well –  it’s personal. Unlike a hotel concierge, a personal concierge is comparable to a personal assistant for residential services. The purpose of a personal concierge is to save it’s clients time, reduce stress and lead more focused and productive lives.

Personal concierges provide their clients with an array of services including informational requests, setting dinner reservations, making telephone calls, researching travel arrangements, arranging quotes for household and auto maintenance and much more.

In today’s busy world with so much going on and so much to do all of the time, a personal concierge can be extremely indispensable to your life. How many times have you said, “I wish I could do _______, but I have to do _______”. With a personal concierge service, we take care of the things that you need to get done so that you can enjoy your life and the people in your life. A personal concierge can also help you to be more productive at home and at work. With less to worry about, you can focus on the things that would normally be overlooked or buried under the rest.

Hiring A Professional

Hiring a professional can not only save you time, but it can also save you money in the long run. Let’s face it, when you do your own projects around the house you probably take shortcuts, that can end up costing you more time and money down the road when you have to redo them. A professional does it right the first time ensuring the quality and longevity of the project.
