Frequently Asked Questions

Most marketing agencies charge high fees while incurring most of their costs for the final 10-20% of their recommendations. We focus on the low-hanging fruit, meaning you pay a fraction of the fees to get 80%+ of the results. We also focus our recommendations on costs of implementation. For example, if you have a lot of staff, and not a lot of clientele, we may recommend strategies that require staff time. But if you’re running things on your own, we’ll focus on changes that would be easier for you to actually put in place. When we focus on your budget, we don’t just mean our fees, we mean top-to-bottom costs that aim to improve your business in realistic ways.

At Small Business Boost, we have many years of experience creating social media content, developing platform strategies, and creating organic and paid social media campaigns. As part of our personalized roadmap, we always recommend ways to improve your social media presence, but we also like to focus on other strategies and marketing channels that are often overlooked in the age of social media.

We specialize in small, often family-run, neighborhood businesses. We aim to make you a staple of your community. These businesses include: • Restaurants and speciality grocers • Small and medium-sized retail businesses • Health and wellness (physiotherapists, massage therapists, fitness centres, optometrists, etc.) • Service businesses (realtors, barbershops, landscapers, etc.) • Specialized instructors (tutors, music teachers, coaches, educators) • Non-profit organizations (charities, political campaigns, local drives/events) • And more

Depending on your business’ size and complexity, the research, analysis and personalized roadmap typically cost anywhere from $500-2000. We understand the limited budgets small businesses have for marketing, and we strive to keep costs low throughout the process, including any recommendations we make. We want this process to help you make more money while avoiding any major investments and expenditures.

While Small Business Boost is a new concept of marketing consultant, catering specifically to local small businesses, we have decades of experience in various marketing fields, offering a range of expertise. These areas include, but are not limited to digital advertising, offline advertising, SEO, social media, web design, UI/UX, loyalty programs, event management, strategic partnership, etc.
