Yes! I prefer them, actually. For short-term projects (less than two months), I require a 50% deposit upfront and the remainder due upon completion. For long-term projects, I offer a range of payment plans that span over the course of the project.

While I want every one of my clients to walk away over-the-moon about what I’ve created, the reality is that that might not always be the case. To prevent that from ever happening, I require full participation and buy-in from clients and stakeholders throughout the whole project. Nothing I present to you should ever be a surprise. This keeps us on the right path throughout the project.

My hourly rate is $60, however, I only bill hourly about 5% of the time. The majority of projects are billed at a project or package rate based on the needs and scope of your project.

The materials created by Erin Lou Bloom are and will remain to be 100% generated without the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As such, Erin Lou Bloom and her affiliates will not accept AI-generated videos, music, designs, etc to be incorporated into your work or to influence, inspire, or inform your work in any way.
