Social Media Services...and more

12 replies
A good friend of mine called me up and we are starting a social media management company. He's a salesman and is out seeing businesses all day. He wants to offer them social media services, too, knowing that most of the businesses he deals with have nothing, or don't know how to use it.

He wants to start off selling 3 packages: $99/mo, $149/mo, and $199/mo.

What types of services should we sell? I know those prices aren't high, but he can realistically sell 2 a day, so 10 a week even at $149/mo is $6k/mo to split between us. We can/will upsell with more services at higher prices, but just want to start off small and get our feet in the door at a good price.

I'm thinking FB business page setup, integrating Twitter, G+, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Pinterest accounts. But not sure just setting these up is worth $1200/yr.

I know we can do things like email marketing, mobile websites, etc. Need to keep it simple to start. Any ideas?

    I would be willing to pay someone to manage all my social media acounts. Here's what I would want them to do:

    1.Agreed upon number of posts per day for each account.
    2.Agreed upon steady growth in number of likes, +'s, follwers,etc. These would have to be real people that will be engaged. I understand that this would have to be a reasonable number you can't just force someone to signup.
    3.Doing daily/weekly research for the hottest info and comment on those articles and making sure that all the social media accounts are keeping the followers, likes, etc.. up to date as well.
    4.and A weekly/ monthly status report of all work completed. (I prefer weekly)

    This is what I would like. You could change monthly numbers for more $$$.

    Hope this helps for what its worth.

    dear you should decide what will be you offer in each package and one thing which I suggest you must consider it. don't promise to give your customers on "number of likes" in the package because it is vague. we can't sure how much fans we can get in a month other thing is one you dealed with number of likes then you just focus on likes not the real facebook marketing, deal with them on the interaction, reach.. tell them you would increase their page reach gradually...

    you will increase the users interaction on the page and this would obviously will increase the number of likes also.

    I think the package is a bit too expensive, especially when I don't know what benefit I can get from each package...

      Tim - we are definitely planning to add these services later. Just trying to stay basic for now. Still not sure exactly what to offer for his price ranges.

      I'm interested. Can you point me to a list of services, my cost, and then what I might be able to charge?

    If your friend is seeing offline businesses, make the more expensive package to include linkedin and not the other packages.
    Offline biz owners are smart and will see the benefit of being in a community with other biz owners so the extra cost is also extra value

    Well, this is what I need to figure out.

    If anyone knows of any good social media WSO, or somewhere where someone has a list of services and pricing, that would be AWESOME.

    Also, I am looking for outsourcers so I don't have to do it all myself.

      If you go over to the offline marketing section of this forum you'll probably be able to find individuals more in synch with what you're trying to do. Not all of them are into SMM but some are.
