Does Rum Blonde Studio require a deposit upfront?

Yes, but only for the monthly retainer service model. A three-month minimum commitment is requested for all new monthly retainer clients, with a 25% deposit upfront (subtracted from the three-month commitment total).

There is no additional deposit required if you wish to extend our retainer partnership beyond the first three months.

Your deposit strengthens the mutual investment we make in each other, and ensures your business or organization receives dedicated time on the studio’s calendar each month for important needs like content production, 1:1 coaching and collaboration, analytics and performance tracking, and more.

Every retainer client enjoys the perks of a discounted rate, less paperwork, more predictable pricing, and the ease of knowing our partnership is “locked in”.
