Gentle Reminder
Payment chase email templates provide creators with a structured, professional sequence to follow up on late brand deal invoices. Because over 85% of creator invoices are paid late, utilizing a tested escalation sequence protects your brand relationships while ensuring you get paid faster.
Why should you use a payment chase email sequence?
Builds pressure. A single email is easy to ignore. A sequence shows you won't go away.
Stays professional. By starting gentle, you protect the relationship in case it really was a mistake.
Gets results. Most late payments are settled within 2 follow-ups when using these templates.
When should you send a late payment email?
- 1-7 days overdue: Send the Gentle Reminder. Assume the best; often it's just a missed email by their accounts payable department.
- 7-14 days overdue: Send the Firm Follow-up. Be specific about the number of days overdue to highlight that you are tracking the timeline.
- 14+ days overdue: Send the Final Notice. Set a clear deadline for a response or payment. You can calculate the exact late fees owed using our late payment calculator and include the updated balance.
Can you charge a brand a late fee?
Yes, you can charge a brand a late fee if you included a late payment clause in your original contract or explicitly stated the terms on your invoice. Standard terms are usually 1% to 1.5% per month. Before sending your final notice, generate an updated PDF using an invoice generator to show the new balance including the late fee.
