I haven't used the Jobber Marketing Suite yet, so I can't speak to that specifically, but I can definitely relate to your situation.
When I was launching my business, I also talked with a local marketing company. The proposal was far beyond what made sense for a first year business that I was bootstrapping. It made me realize I needed to find ways to build my marketing one step at a time instead of trying to buy a complete solution.
I've focused on learning as much as I can, building relationships, asking for Google reviews, creating helpful content, and running a few targeted Meta ads with a modest budget. It's taken more of my time, but it's also helped me better understand what works for my business and my customers.
I'll be interested to hear what others have experienced with the Jobber Marketing Suite. It's always helpful to hear real world experiences before making that kind of investment.
Thank you for your reply! This is really encouraging and I appreciate you taking the time to give such a thoughtful response. :)
I feel like we will likely take a similar path to you - I have been trying to educate myself on social media strategies and how to be smart about placing ad spend. You're totally right, it does take more time and I do think it creates more understanding about what works for your business and customers. Maybe since it's early on for us I'm not seeing what the best path is yet but as time goes on I hope those finding emerge for us.
I am interested in hearing about how the marketing suite increases leads that aren't necessarily referrals or existing customers.
