Who is Create Better Things

Say what now?

Business and Marketing Support

I’m Sam and I understand the unique needs of local businesses like yours. It isn’t always easy – it requires an understanding of the market, fierce dedication, and a unique set of skills (not those ones).

And that’s where I come in.

What does it cost for Business Support with Create Better Things?

Ah, the perils of talking about money… Well let’s get that out of the way! My services are not only top notch and backed by years of experience, but they are also affordable. I understand that local businesses operate on tight budgets, and I’m committed to providing exceptional value for every penny you spend.

But what does that look like?

Now I’m not trying to be vague here. I’m not like that. But what I can’t do is put a price list out for every single thing I do.

What I can do is give you a free consultation, and a promise that I just want to make ends meet like you do, so I keep my costs low and I work damned hard to keep you happy.

Example 1

You need a couple of hours a week to ensure that your social media isn’t collecting dust, you’re appeasing the evil Google overlords, and you’re generally able to forget about most of your marketing. All without having to hire some inexperienced trainee that you’ll spend more time teaching than they do doing. From £200 per month.

Example 2

Your marketing is your life source, but you need it to give you more. You need to be out doing, but you need to manage lead generation, promotions and more. You can’t split yourself in 2. I can be on hand to do email campaigns, full social media management, promotions and even managing your online ads. From £500 per month (and you’re getting a senior Marketing Manager for that!)

Example 3 – The world is on fire

This is the one that most people seem to come to me for. It’s the “I don’t know! Just please help!“. It usually falls into one of the above 2 in the end, but initially I can help by looking at what systems you’ve got in place, cut down the crap and get you on a level so you have a clear way to view the business and know where you stand. Depending on the block of hours your can afford (and yes it’s all about you) my rates start from £25 per hour. And as someone with experience as a virtual assistant too, that’s a bloody good rate.

Support for Small Businessess

You can start with us for free, you can get a taster, you can get something a bit more in depth or you can see how much it would cost to work with us longer term.

We’ve broken our packages down into the different sections, so you can gauge the costs you’ll be considering. The best thing is always to speak to us, as we will never charge you more than you actually need.
