01 How much should a small retail business spend on marketing?
It depends on your market and goals. We start with the highest-impact channels first, usually Google Business Profile optimization and a few targeted social campaigns, then scale up as results prove out. We won't recommend spending more than makes sense for your revenue.
02 We're a restaurant. Do you work with food service businesses?
Yes. Restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bars, and food trucks are a great fit. We handle Google Business optimization (critical for 'near me' searches), review management, social media advertising for specials and events, and email/SMS campaigns that bring regulars back more often.
03 Is a website really necessary if most of my business is walk-in?
Yes, because those walk-ins are Googling you first. They're checking your hours, looking at your menu or products, reading reviews, and getting directions. If your web presence is weak or outdated, they might walk into a competitor instead. Your website turns Google searches into foot traffic.
04 Can you help with seasonal promotions and events?
Absolutely. We build campaign calendars around your business seasonality, planned promotions, and local events. Whether it's a holiday sale, a grand opening, a seasonal menu launch, or a weekly special, we create the digital campaigns that drive traffic when you need it most.
05 We don't have a big marketing team. Will this take a lot of our time?
That's exactly why you hire us. We handle the strategy, execution, and reporting. We'll need your input on promotions, events, and approvals, but the heavy lifting is on us. Most of our retail clients spend less than an hour a week on marketing-related communication with us.
