SMALL BUSINESS MARKETING RETAINERS

A mediocre business people know about will scale faster than a great business no one has ever heard of. 

Every damn time.

 Marketing Retainers for Small Business | Social Media, Email & Content Strategy
Detail text:

So imagine the magic that happens when a stellar brand like yours gets marketing to match. 

If your content is not saying the right thing to the right people, it's like showing up to a potluck with the same mediocre potato salad every single time.



Nobody's excited about it. They're just used to ignoring it.

→ Are you built for customers who want a fast fix or those who want to be guided through every step?.

If your audience has to guess why they should choose you, they won't.

If you can't answer these questions about your business, your customers definitely can't either. And if they don't feel an immediate spark with your biz, they'll just jump over to the next one.

→ Are you the affordable, no-frills option or the slow, luxury experience? 

→ Do customers choose you for your time-tested tradition or your constant innovation?

The average attention span is 8 seconds. Good thing we're expert squirrel wranglers.

Your audience is distracted, comparing you to 47 other options in real time, deciding in seconds whether you're worth their attention. You've got to grab them fast, make them care, and give them a reason to choose you—all before their brain moves on to the next shiny thing.

That's where the squirrel wrangling comes in. We know how to hook distracted brains and turn that 8-second scroll into sales.

Your sweet spot. That's the messaging that makes people stop mid-scroll and think "Wait, where have you BEEN?"

What's true about what you offer.

What your audience desperately needs to hear.

let's break it down.

Great brands say the same thing over and over. You're not being repetitive—you're finally being memorable.

Research shows people need to see your marketing 7-13 times before they're ready to buy. This holds true whether you're selling luxury services or everyday products.


Think about the brands you remember:

→ Nike's been telling you to “Just Do It” since 1988. 

→ Apple's “Think Different” became synonymous with the brand itself. 

These companies didn't panic and rebrand every six months because they were worried about being repetitive. They understood that consistency is what makes messages get stuck in your head.

→ McDonald's spent decades making sure you knew you'd be “Lovin' It.”

We’ve really created a great system together and it’s been a huge value to us in our consistency. You’ve maintained (and improved!) our messaging and have been so detailed in doing so. You’re seriously crushing it!!!

That detail and care to do the best job is hard to find.

We figure out where you're at, what you're selling, and who needs it—then build a custom marketing plan that makes your ideal customers feel immediately relieved that you exist. Whether that’s one platform or everything in your marketing arsenal, we’re here to help you plan, perfect, and execute.

what you get.

Content ideation, creation, posting, and engagement—not just throwing up a photo and three hashtags.

Inbox-to-purchase pipelines that feel less like a sales pitch and more like an engaging conversation.

Your best content—written, SEO perfected, and preserved online forever so it keeps bringing people to your site.

The Marketing Engine: Monthly marketing that runs in the background while you run your business.

We're partners—which means we want you to text us your wins, send you treats when you reach goals, and show up to every call with ideas already brewing. Because good marketing requires our investment—not just invoice reminders.

We're not just posting for you—we're in it with you. Quarterly strategy meetings where we talk about what you're seeing, what's resonating with your people, what ideas you've been sitting on, and execute all the best plans so you start gaining marketing momentum you can ride all the way to the bank.

This isn't a one night (marketing) stand.

What it costs: Starting at $900/month

A note on investment: The timeline we're painting—months 9-12 momentum, raising prices, dream customers lining up—reflects entrepreneurs investing $2,500-3,500/month in comprehensive marketing. At $900/month, you're building momentum and keeping your sales pipeline from going dark. At $2,500-3,500/month, you're filling it with customers who'll pay premium rates without flinching. Think of it as scaling up as you grow.

The commitment: 3-month minimum (but most clients stick around for years because they know marketing is an ongoing effort not a one-time fling)

As Kim Possible would say, call me beep me if you wanna reach me.

Except in true millennial fashion, we prefer text.

Most clients see their best results around the 9-12 month mark. Not because we're slow—because good marketing compounds like interest in a savings account. It's not about chasing quick wins that fade faster than that one TikTok trend. We’re building something that lasts.

We dig into your business and nail down your messaging so everything you post actually means something instead of sounding like you asked ChatGPT to write a caption that makes you sound “approachable yet professional.”

You're showing up consistently and people are starting to notice. The “wait, hold on, who IS this?” factor kicks in. Your DMs are from interested clients, not from foreign princes asking for your credit card information.

Your audience knows what you do, why it matters, and why you're the one to buy from. You stop having to explain yourself seventeen times before someone gets it. The lightbulb finally clicks on.

You're converting, not convincing. Marketing becomes a well-oiled machine that brings in customers who already understand what you do and why they need it. This is the sweet spot—where it stops feeling like work and starts feeling like momentum you can actually ride.

The end goal: customers show up ready to buy because your marketing already did the work.

REAL WORDS FROM ACTUAL CLIENTS

You wouldn't quit guitar lessons because you couldn't shred through “Stairway to Heaven” after two weeks.


You'd keep showing up to lessons, trust the process, and one day it clicks. Marketing works the same way.

We can write killer content, make you stand out, and get your message in front of the right people—but your audience still needs repeated exposure before they're ready to buy. That's not a flaw in the strategy. That's how it works.

If you want an agency that shoots straight with you and doesn't overpromise and massively underdeliver—hi, that's us.

Waiting another year isn't free.

Do you really want to spend another 12 months dealing with…

→ Losing clients to competitors because they could actually explain what they do in two sentences

→ Googling “Instagram caption ideas for small businesses” when you could've been literally anywhere else

→ Watching your revenue flat-line while businesses that aren't as good as yours keep growing because they figured out how to talk about what they sell

We're not the cheapest option. we're the last option you need.

→ Paying for courses, templates, and “strategies” that didn't move the needle—so you're already spending, just not getting anything back for it

Get your FAQs straight.

If your messaging is dialed in and you're not expecting to go viral by Thursday? Absolutely. Most small business owners see real traction around months 6-9, with the best results showing up around the 9-12+ month mark.

The ones who bail after two months wondering why they're not famous yet usually end up back where they started—refreshing their inbox and wondering why they didn't qualify for overnight success.

Our retainers start at $900/month and scale up to $2,500-3,500+/month depending on your business size and goals.

Most clients start at $900 (strategic, consistent marketing that builds momentum) and scale up once they see results and want to expand—more platforms, more content, bigger reach.

We're not just "taking social media off your plate to save you time." We bring 8+ years of experience and an in-depth knowledge of what works because we've done this for dozens of businesses—we know which subject lines get opened, what captions convert, how to write content that ranks on Google AND resonate with humans.

You're not hiring someone to execute your ideas. You're hiring people who know what those ideas should be in the first place.

Most clients stick around for much longer because they finally have marketing that works and a partner who knows their business inside out. After your initial 3 months, you renew in 3-month increments (or lock in longer contracts for a discount).

Momentum takes time to build, and starting over is expensive—so most clients sign on when they plan to stick around long-term.

We don't have a public portfolio because our clients' content IS their brand voice—not ours. And we do everything to keep copycats at bay. But during The Marketing Jumpstart, you'll see how we think, what we'd recommend for your business specifically, and get a real sense of whether we're the right fit.

If you want to see what strategic marketing looks like before spending $900+/month, that's exactly what the Jumpstart is for.
