*Proposal for Beauty Mark*

From: Meredith Brockington
Date: 01/05/2026

Goal

The monthly content retainer is designed to provide consistent, high-quality imagery that supports Beauty Mark’s growth, seasonal promotions, and broader marketing initiatives. Retainer clients enjoy priority booking, faster turnaround for last-minute requests (subject to availability), and a dependable system for regular content updates across social channels and other marketing channels.

Key Benefits

Consistency: Regular content creation ensures your brand visuals remain fresh, on-brand, and aligned with your marketing goals.
Flexibility & Priority: Retainer clients receive priority scheduling and can capture seasonal products or promotions on shorter notice.
Efficiency & Reliability: Streamlined processes allow for quick production of all necessary content, close to your location, while staying fully aligned with your company objectives.

Why a Monthly Retainer Works

A monthly content retainer delivers consistency, efficiency, and reliability for Beauty Mark’s visual needs. By committing to regular content creation, you gain:

Priority scheduling and fast turnaround for seasonal or promotional content
A curated, high-quality image library for social media, website, and marketing use
Cost savings compared to ad hoc shoots, since shooting, post-production, and digital licensing are bundled into predictable monthly pricing

For me, this structure allows dedicated focus on your brand, maintaining quality, and responding quickly to evolving content needs. It ensures seamless collaboration between your marketing team and me, producing on-brand visuals efficiently while keeping costs more predictable and manageable than individual project rates.
