Where to Start If You Are Not Sure

If you are not sure where to start, a great rule of thumb is to start where your customers are already looking for a solution, rather than trying to force their attention.

Instead of getting overwhelmed by trying to launch TikTok, email newsletters, and expensive Google Ads all at once, narrow your starting point down to a single question: Do people already know your product/service exists, or do you have to educate them about it?

A Package or a Single Service

When choosing marketing services, it is generally better to start with a single service (or a narrow, hyper-focused project) rather than a bundled package.

While comprehensive packages look attractive on paper, they often include services you don’t actually need now, diluting your budget.

Starting with a single service allows you to test the agency’s communication, prove their return on investment (ROI), and discover what your business actually needs before locking into a massive monthly retainer.

Which Fits Us?

An Outsourced Marketing Department

Instead of hiring full-time, in-house employees, a business partner with a digital agency or a structured team of fractional experts to handle all strategic planning, execution, and data analysis, let Kreativ HQ’s internal marketing division put its talents to work for you!

For small and mid-size businesses (SMBs), this setup provides access to an enterprise-grade marketing department without the massive overhead costs of salaries, benefits, and software licenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what people ask before they call.

How much does marketing cost for a small business?

For most small businesses, marketing costs typically range from 7% to 8% of gross annual revenue, a baseline benchmark widely recommended by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

In absolute terms, a typical growing small business spends from $1,000 per month (starting from $12,000 annually) depending heavily on its industry, revenue size, and growth goals.

What is the best marketing for small businesses?

There is no single “absolute best” marketing channel for small businesses, as the ideal strategy depends entirely on whether you sell to local consumers, global e-commerce shoppers, or other businesses.

Instead, real-world data and community consensus show that the most successful strategies focus heavily on high-intent, low-cost channels that capture existing demand rather than trying to force new attention.

Is it worth it to hire a marketing agency?

Whether hiring a marketing agency is “worth it” depends entirely on your annual revenue, your internal marketing expertise, and how fast you want to scale.

For businesses generating under $200,000 in revenue, a full-service agency is almost never worth it because the fees will consume your profit margins.

However, for established companies generating over $500,000 in revenue, hiring an agency is highly worth it because it instantly replaces the need to recruit, train, and manage an expensive in-house team.

Do we have to buy all of it?

No, and almost nobody does. Most engagements start with one or two things. What we will not do is take on a channel we think cannot work in your situation.

Can you work alongside our existing agency or in-house team?

Yes, and often that is the right answer. We take the discipline they do not cover. What needs deciding upfront is who owns the plan, because two plans is worse than one imperfect one.
