Why SmallTime?
At SmallTime Digital we set out to provide paid media services specifically tailored for the small business owner. You want your business to grow but you haven’t the marketing budget to bring in a big agency or the time and energy to put into setting up and managing an ad account on your own. This is where SmallTime Digital comes into the equation. We understand that every business needs exposure to drive their sales and services, in fact, you may not need much to move the needle and here are some reasons why SmallTime Digital may just be the partner you're looking for.
We're Small, Like You
We’re a small business, we’ve worked in small businesses, and we work with small businesses. Sure, you can find one of a hundred digital agencies with offices around the globe, a list of Fortune 500 companies they’ve worked with, and teams upon teams of strategists, managers, developers, designers, and directors. They’ll happily enter into an agreement with you, charge you a few thousand a month to manage your account as well as take a percentage of your ad spending. It’s just a question of return, most of these outfits are set up to service companies with annual ad budgets of hundreds of thousands, if not millions. You could easily end up paying more to service the account than you do on advertising.
At SmallTime Digital, we keep it small so we can give the attention needed to manage the accounts we have. Yes, that means we say “no” if and when we need to. We’re not going to take on a client that’s not a good fit. When we work with you, we’re vested in your success and we take ownership of the accounts we manage and do our best to get the most out of your advertising spend. At a large agency, you may be one of hundreds of accounts and they’ll do a lot of work up front and then they just let the account coast without a lot of oversight.
You Pay For What You Get
Once the campaigns are built and running, we’re not going to hit you with a management fee on top of a percentage of your advertising spending. We only bill for the time spent on your account. There will be months that everything is humming along and all we need to do is log a few hours monitoring performance, and that’s exactly what you’ll be invoiced for.
Search Is Still King
We specialize in running Pay Per Click search campaigns for one simple reason, search is still king. Sure, social media platforms have a place in building your brand and they can be fun and quirky and, in some cases they can drive sales; but most products and services have a buying cycle that sends prospective customers to do their homework and that means running search queries before they make a decision. As such, Pay Per Click ad campaigns are crucial in getting noticed and Google still handles 90% of searches. If you have one play to make with digital marketing, make it with Google.
