4.1 Pricing, Billing Models, and Invoicing

Payment terms for services are specified in your individual service agreement, proposal, or statement of work. Services may be billed on various bases, including:

Monthly Retainer / Retainership: Fixed monthly fee for ongoing services (often for fractional

CMO, marketing strategy, execution oversight, and/or accountability services)

Project-Based Fees: One-time or milestone-based payments for specific projects (e.g., audits,

launches, campaign builds, website-related marketing support, print campaign coordination)

Hourly Consulting: Fees based on time spent at agreed-upon hourly rates
Subscription Services: Recurring charges for ongoing access to specific services or deliverables

All fees are stated in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified.
