Is having to post on Social Media a business burden you can do without?
Do you feeling the pressure to post on Social Media every few days?
Are you exhausted trying to figure out what your next post has to say?
Do you fork out fees to someone to write posts for you, but you can't see much benefit?
Are you paying hundreds of dollars a month to ‘boost’ your posts, and seeing little return?
This is why we created Maventown
As two former international advertising professionals, and now your local Hawke's Bay marketing 'mavens', Roger and Michael understand the immense potential that effective advertising content and strategic distribution can offer to businesses on social media.
Our boutique ‘Maventown’ agency specializes in crafting custom-designed marketing and advertising programs tailored specifically to enhance both personal and business brands. By collaborating with us, you gain access to exceptional advertising content that not only helps you stand out in the competitive local market but also has a lasting impact on your social media presence. Best of all, you can achieve these results for the same cost or even less than what you might currently be spending, making it an invaluable opportunity for local entrepreneurs looking to elevate their marketing game.
Throwing any old post onto a social media platform is not ‘marketing’
These days it has become usual for a business owner to think “I post, therefore I advertise”. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Most posts and ads we see from businesses lack many of the important attributes of results-oriented advertising, like customer insights, memorable USPs and stimulating call-to-actions. In other words – many posts done by small businesses today are not only ineffective, but also can be a waste of time and money.
We know there is a better way.
Take advantage of the Buying Power of the Maventown Community
On top of receiving loads of professionally produced video content, being part of Maventown means you will enjoy the combined buying power and linked distribution of all Maventown - Hawke's Bay mavens!
Besides Maventown's paid advertising campaigns and postings on Maventown - Hawke's Bay's popular Facebook and Instagram accounts, your videos can be featured on your Facebook and Instagram pages as well as all the other participating Maventown clients! This collective approach amplifies your reach by leveraging the combined media budget of all members, ensuring your content gets seen by many more people than if you were posting on your own. Viewers are much more inclined to watch content from a source they are familiar with, like Maventown, and even better, they tend to watch it for a longer period of time.
An Exclusive Opportunity!
In today's competitive business landscape, being recognized as the sole expert in your industry is crucial for standing out. Our service offers you the opportunity to become the trusted authority in your business category, ensuring that you remain top-of-mind for potential clients seeking your services. By limiting our membership to only one business per category, we guarantee that you’ll have a unique edge in our local market area. This exclusivity elevates your status, making you the go-to source for your industry. However, categories in Hawke's Bay are filling up quickly, and our first-come, first-serve policy means you need to act fast. Don’t miss your chance to secure your place—reach out to us today to discuss how you can grab a membership before it’s too late!
