I’m the owner of a small local barbershop which has been around for over 40 years. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Social Media 55? Though we have a good location and existing clientele, it's difficult in our industry to get new clients to walk through the door. Our main concern was how to get more local people to book appointments and come to the shop. I already had a freelancer taking care of my basic marketing needs, but I decided to bring in Social Media 55 to take things to the next level. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? My business is not active on social media, so the main goal is to create local awareness. Social Media 55 has proposed that I utilize local SEO and Google My Business. I don’t necessarily have the budget for a full-blown website development, but what I have seems to be working for now. The team allows me to make use of one service at a time, kind of like letting me walk before I could run. This is an ideal arrangement since I have to stay within a budget.  Social Media 55 sends me reports about my business’s SEO and updates me about how we’re performing on Google My Business. They upload geotagged pictures of our shop, which Google responds better to. Our website is as basic as it gets, but they make sure that we got the most out of it.  They’ve also trained my staff on how to capture positive reviews and showed me on how to respond to negative ones.  What is the team composition?

Social Media 55 was referred to me by a friend who had dealt with them for multiple years.  How much have you invested with them? I spend about $1,500 a month on their services. For the past 24 months, I’ve spent around $36,000. What is the status of this engagement? I've been with them for two years now since March 2019.   **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Working with Social Media 55 has been amazing, and the results have been great. We're now at the top of Google search results in my area, which is great. The reports I get from Google My Business show that we are constantly getting a lot of activity, views, and searches — 20,000 month-over-month, to be exact. When I started with them, I only had 30 people viewing my profile or looking up my business. Even my friends whom I’ve spoken to have not gotten close to a thousand. Social Media 55 has also helped us go from having two poor reviews to having 65 solid customer testimonials. To this day, they are still helping us capture reviews from our clients. They’ve taught me so much and have given a lot of suggestions when it comes to marketing. They don't keep anything secret, Which I really appreciate. I know I would be able to do maybe half or 3/4 of the work that they're doing, but I don't have the time and I've come to enjoy working with Social Media 55. They’ve become really good friends through the years.  How did Social Media 55 perform from a project management standpoint? We mostly communicate through email and phone. When I need something I usually text the account manager, and she responds right away. The team has given us access to our Google Analytics account, so we're able to check reports on the fly.  What did you find most impressive about them? I've worked with other providers in other fields. For instance, I have suppliers of cutters, clippers, and other products. I'm not necessarily on a friendly basis with these suppliers, so it's always a joy to speak with Social Media 55. They have really set themselves apart.  They really tailor their services to every single client they have. They've made me feel like I'm their only client because they've really given me a lot of attention.  Are there any areas they could improve? There's nothing I could think of.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? Let your guard down because Social Media 55 will never take advantage of you. Allow them to make suggestions because they're never going to push services that you don't need or can't afford. They will always have something for any type of budget. --- #### Social Media Management for Telecommunications Company **The Project** - Services: Social Media Marketing - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: May 2021 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Social Media 55 manages the social media accounts of a telecommunications firm.

We develop software for the film and TV production industry. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Social Media 55? Since we work in a B2B market, developing brand awareness and exospore is a reoccurring problem. We’re doing well in our regional sphere of influence, but we needed an experienced social media marketing firm to help us reach more customers. Our users don’t use Google to find a firm like us. Instead, they’re sitting on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram all day. Considering that brand equity is paramount to our success, we had to exist on those platforms. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Social Media 55 helped develop our social media marketing strategy. That process involved evaluating which platforms to utilize, and advising us on which types of ads we should create.

Their team provides adequate support whenever we reach out to them with questions. We communicate via phone, email, and text. What did you find most impressive about them? Marketing and advertising involve a lot of iteration to see what works within a given industry. While modern analytics lower the chances of a failed marketing push, it’s still more of an art than a science.

They gave us clear and concise instructions on what we should give them in order for them to meet our goals. We had a lot of requests, but they made every effort to accommodate them and complete the project on time. They're the most organized marketing firm I've worked with in the past eight years.
