Get paid for campaigns before the next one starts

How do agencies and marketing firms usually get paid?

Clients often pay agencies by check on net terms, after the work is done. Meanwhile the agency has paid its own costs: printing and postage for a mail drop, media spend, freelancers.

Waiting for a client's check run on a large invoice ties up cash the agency needs for the next campaign.

Where do check drafts help?

• Monthly retainers billed to the same clients.
• Large campaign invoices where a card fee would eat the margin.
• Postage and printing costs that need to be collected before a mail drop.
• Clients who are happy to pay now but whose checks only go out on a set day.

Which authorization fits best?

For retainer clients, a blanket authorization with a cap per draft and a monthly frequency. For campaign invoices, a one-time approval for each invoice.

If your client agreement already includes draft authorization, record it on file once and draft each invoice under it.
