How Much Does Marketing Essentials Cost?

The Marketing Essentials Solution is a traditional fee-for-service program (different than the JointSourcing Solution™ shared risk and reward), where you pay a set fee each month during the six-month trial. Many companies like this approach because, on day one, they know what each month’s expense will be.

For all the services, people and tools described above, the fixed monthly fee is only $2500 and is as all-inclusive as is possible. In fact, the only fees not included are the ones that are up to you: the direct advertising costs paid to Google Adwords and MailChimp email costs, which vary based on the size of your existing email list.

If you compare Marketing Essential’s $2500 monthly fee to what it might cost to assemble each element of Marketing Essentials on your own, we think you’ll agree it’s a good deal:

  • Consultants to analyze and create an Actionable Marketing Plan (1st Blueprint Month)
  • Marketing team to implement the Blueprint’s messaging and positioning improvements on your website (2nd Build Month)
  • Technology team to implement the Blueprint’s sales-enabling technology improvements on your website (2nd Build Month)
  • 1 hour of Coaching every week for 4 months (Months 3-6)
  • The services of the included 3rd party experts described above:
