Compare the work behind the retainer
Ask which tasks, products and markets are covered and who owns decisions. Daily creator and catalog work require different resources from a setup project. Compare written scopes before comparing headline fees.
Budget for execution
Include agency fees and the separate funds needed for content, samples, advertising, stock and delivery. Review cash commitments and contribution. The retainer is not the entire cost of launching or growing a shop.
Include assessed representative support
Our US PBR support for eligible non-US brands is quoted within premium ongoing management. Business eligibility, representative responsibilities and launch operations are reviewed before terms are set. No generic price represents every brand's combined engagement.
Summary
Compare included responsibilities and the total operating budget before engaging an agency.
