How we Work with you

For businesses without dedicated marketing departments, we act as your marketing manager, without the financial burden of hiring a full-time marketing director. We plan and manage your marketing efforts.

For those with marketing staff, we are available as needed. We can help you implement new procedures and research new opportunities, create plans for incoming employee, and provide additional manpower to bolster your stellar team.

Who We’ve Worked With

 

Here to answer your questions

  • At Bolster, we know what we’re doing. We know the channels and tools to market your business all within your budget. Owners and managers are busy with countless tasks. Let us take marketing off your plate.

  • First, you chat with a Bolster representative to discuss your needs, your ideas, and your concerns. From there, Bolster will create a proposal based on what you want to accomplish. Our proposals are detailed and will lay out the proposed services, the anticipated schedule, and all deliverables. From there, you can accept the proposal or propose any revisions. After the proposal has been accepted, your Bolster representative will send you the contract to sign.

  • For our monthly marketing management service, we create 6- or 12-month contracts for our clients and bill monthly. Our monthly payment plans allow our clients to know exactly how much they’ll be spending each month, which makes budgeting easier. All clients are invoiced via email and can pay online or via check.

    For one-time projects, we create contracts based upon the scope of the project. The contract will detail the project’s deliverables and schedule. To initiate services, a down payment is required, which is outlined in the contract, as well as the proposal.
