Working with a marketing agency often sounds like the perfect solution — until the marketing service quote arrives. That’s when the questions start: What am I really paying for? Is the idea priced separately? Are we billed hourly, per project, or by subscription?
In this article, we’ll break down what agency pricing really includes and why more and more brands are switching to NanoInflu, the platform that automates influencer marketing and eliminates hidden costs.
What Does a Marketing Service Quote Include?
A typical agency invoice might list items like:
- Strategy and creative concept
- Communication plan and influencer selection
- Coordination, communication, and reporting
- And of course — the agency’s margin
As a result, even a simple campaign can cost several thousand zlotys per month. More importantly, you often don’t know how much of that amount actually goes to the creators.
With NanoInflu, everything is transparent. You see the total campaign cost and pay only when you decide to launch.
Hourly, Project-Based, or Subscription — How Is It Billed?
Agencies typically use three pricing models:
- Hourly – you pay for the specialist’s time,
- Project-based – a flat rate for a defined task,
- Subscription – a monthly fee for ongoing support.
While that may seem reasonable, it’s often difficult to verify whether a task truly required that many hours. NanoInflu takes a different approach — you pay only for live, published campaigns, while the entire process from brief to report runs automatically.
The Idea – A Separate Cost or Part of the Whole?
Many agencies charge separately for creative ideas — and that’s fair, because a good concept drives results. However, on the NanoInflu platform, our AI system helps you generate a campaign brief, select the right creators, and craft inspiration automatically — saving both time and money.
Pitfalls and Misunderstandings – What Can Go Wrong?
Common issues with agencies include:
- Lack of transparency in pricing,
- Extra charges for campaign revisions,
- Poor influencer selection.
To avoid these problems, NanoInflu offers a simple interface, automated contracts, direct chat with influencers, and real-time analytics.
Best Practices – How to Make Pricing Fair for Everyone
A fair quote should be clear to both sides. On NanoInflu, brands can see exactly who applied for a campaign, review influencer statistics, and approve the content before publication. This makes every element of the process measurable — without unnecessary intermediary costs.
