Marketing invoices should clarify what the client is paying for—strategy, deliverables, management, and reporting—so approvals are fast.

- Channels covered (optional if you list in deliverables)
- Strategy and planning
- Channel setup and optimization
- Content creation (ads, emails, landing pages, posts)
- Campaign management and optimization
- Reporting and analysis
- Consulting calls and workshops
- Extra creative production
- Additional reporting or dashboards
- New channels (SEO, email, paid social, etc.)
- Rush work or weekend work (if you charge for it)
- Total due and payment terms
- Payment instructions
Marketing Billing Models: Retainer, Project, or Performance
Marketing services are billed in a few common ways. Your invoice template should match the agreement you’re using.
1) Monthly retainer
Most common for ongoing work. Invoice shows billing period and included deliverables.
2) Project fee
Fixed price for a defined scope (launch campaign, brand messaging, audit). Often tied to milestones.
3) Hourly consulting
Used for strategy calls, audits, and short engagements.
4) Performance-based components
Sometimes used for lead gen (e.g., bonus per qualified lead) in addition to a base fee.
Retainers and project fees work best when deliverables are spelled out clearly on the invoice.
How to Define Marketing Deliverables on an Invoice
Deliverables reduce ambiguity and make value obvious.
Examples- “Email campaign: 4 emails + segmentation + reporting”
- “Paid social: 6 creatives + weekly optimization + monthly report”
- “Landing page: copy + layout + A/B test setup”
- “Content package: 8 ad creatives + 12 social posts”
- Keep deliverables measurable (counts, channels, frequency)
- List what’s included in the retainer
- Add optional “extra deliverables” as separate line items when requested
Paid Ads: Service Fees vs Ad Spend
Many marketing invoices are delayed because clients confuse ad spend with management fees.
Ad spend- Paid directly to platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok)
- Not included in your service fees unless stated
- Strategy, creative, setup, optimization, reporting
- Billed on your invoice as professional services
