Small business social media consulting by Lori Barber

Social Media Consulting

Are you looking to reach out to potential customers?
Do you want to stay in touch with current customers?
Would you like to see what people think about your company?
Are you interested in knowing what your competitors are up to?

Great - it sounds like you are ready to get social! But are you sure you are ready?

Do you know which social media platforms your target market uses?
Have you defined what you intend to achieve by participating in social media?
Do you have a plan to produce unique, relevant content to share?
Are you able to devote sufficient time to engage with customers online?

If you are scratching your head and thinking 'hmmm', you're not quite ready to start a social media initiative. But that’s ok – you've come to the right place.

Flexible Options for your Small Business Social Media Initiative

It is tempting to jump in and start tweeting or create a quickie Facebook page and just see how it goes. But, without sufficient knowledge and a plan you may end up wasting valuable time and could actually damage your company’s reputation. You are more likely to see results if you take the time to plan.

Social Media Consulting Pricing

Each small business social media project is different, so it is best to provide a price estimate after we discuss your project. During our complimentary phone consultation we will discuss your business, goals, and social media objectives. Then I will prepare a customized proposal with an estimated number of hours for the project. I charge an hourly rate and bill monthly at the end of the month.
