FLORA Retainer Launch Sprint (7-10 days)
A productized onboarding that turns FLORA's 50+ model canvas into a recurring monthly creative retainer for retail, fashion, and e-commerce clients, priced against the $590/mo Creative Starter Pack pattern.
- Signed client agreement covering monthly asset volume and revision rounds
- Client brand kit: logos, color values, fonts, and 10-20 reference images for Technique training
- FLORA account provisioned on Starter at $18 per seat, or Pro at $50 per seat if video models are required
- Named creative lead on the agency side who owns the canvas and Technique library
- Shared storage folder for exports and a client-facing Deck link for reviews
- 1.Sign up on FLORA's Free tier ($0, 1 seat, 3 active projects) and confirm the canvas aggregates the text, image, and video models the client brief needs
- 2.Inventory the client's recurring visual requests from the last 90 days and group them into 3-5 repeatable jobs such as catalog imagery, campaign variations, or social crops
- 1.Create the client workspace on the Starter plan at $18 per seat and enable pooled team usage so the creative lead and a backup seat share generation credits
- 2.Load brand assets into the canvas and branch from reference images to test whether output holds the client's color and styling
- 1.Build the first reusable Technique for the highest-volume job, for example character locking or brand identity generation
- 2.Run the Technique across 10-15 prompts and log which model choices inside FLORA produce on-brand results
- 1.Build a second Technique for a lower-volume job such as seasonal campaign variations or garment try-on for fashion clients
- 2.Document prompt structure, model selection, and layer order so any seat on the team can rerun the Technique without the original author
- 1.Assemble a live Deck in FLORA showing the client the canvas, the Techniques, and a first batch of 12-16 assets
- 2.Walk the client through the Deck and capture feedback on tone, crop, and styling in a single review session
- 1.Revise the Technique library based on client feedback and rerun affected assets
- 2.Set up the MCP or API connection so the client's own Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok workflows can pull from the same canvas if they request it
- 1.Produce the first full monthly batch of 12-16 on-brand image and text assets
- 2.Export final files in client-ready formats and stage them in the shared folder
- 1.Hand over the Deck link and a one-page Technique reference sheet to the client contact
- 2.Confirm the monthly cadence: batch delivery date, review window, and revision cap
- 1.Run a margin check against the $590/mo retainer fee and the $18-$50 per seat FLORA cost, adjusting seat count if the client added video work
- 2.Schedule the monthly Technique optimization pass on the agency calendar
- 1.Deliver the month-one report covering assets produced, Techniques built, and model usage
- 2.Set the next batch kickoff and log any client requests that need a new Technique or a Studio outside the fashion default
A single Starter seat at $18 per month, or a Pro seat at $50 per month when video models are needed, carries the entire production load for a $590/mo retainer, so tool cost stays under 10% of revenue even after adding a backup seat. The 10-hour setup is a one-time cost, and the 4 hours per month of Technique optimization keeps delivery inside a margin band most agencies cannot hit with per-project stock or freelance illustration.
- Configured FLORA canvas workspace with client brand assets, colors, and layer structure
- Technique library of 2-4 reusable workflows covering the client's highest-volume visual jobs
- Live FLORA Deck used as the recurring client review surface
- First monthly batch of 12-16 exported on-brand image and text assets
- One-page Technique reference sheet plus month-one usage report
The client approves a live FLORA Deck containing at least two working Techniques and a full monthly batch of 12-16 exported assets, and the next batch date is on the calendar.
