At The Thinking Cap we’re really excited to be launching our Marketing Strategy Starter Kit as part of our partnerships with smaller businesses.
We wrote last month about why we’re the perfect outsourced marketing partner for SMEs, and our Marketing Strategy Starter Kit is something we’re offering to help businesses who want to elevate their marketing and sustain it long-term too.
We understand the marketing struggles that SMEs face, with limited time and resources, a need to keep your branding consistent, and small or solo staff teams mean that it’s not easy to make a splash with your marketing.
Our Marketing Strategy Starter Kit is: so, the answer why is it the solution for your business?
If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to elevate your marketing without committing to a traditional retainer-style model, the Marketing Strategy Starter Kit is for you.
We’ll work with you to create a marketing strategy which achieves your goals, represents your business and broadens your reach.
We implement the foundations to get everything up and running, before leaving you with a starter kit to help you keep the good work going into the future.
Our team at The Thinking Cap have a huge range of experience working with brands such as Nike, Barclays, Vodafone, IHG and British Airways.
But we don’t want to keep all that expertise to ourselves! Instead, we’re taking this big-picture thinking and distilling it down into a package that everyone can benefit from: the Marketing Strategy Starter Kit.
The first step to creating your marketing strategy will be sitting down with us to chat through the aims of your business and identifying your USP.
Defining your unique selling proposition will allow us not only to get to know your business but to see the unique needs and challenges of marketing for your area.
We’re familiar with the common marketing challenges that SMEs face, and we love helping small business owners to overcome them.
Perhaps you’d love help refining a currently haphazard approach to social media, or you want to avoid becoming one of the small businesses you see with low-quality designs which don’t reflect their services or products.
You may even have tried using some of the great free software out there but found it overwhelming and not known where to start.
We’re well-versed in lots of free design options out there which we can introduce you to and train you in, as a starting point amongst getting your business marketing up to scratch.
Many marketing agencies prefer to work on a retainer basis, where a fee is paid each month for marketing services provided.
This approach is not always suited to smaller businesses, as the ebb and flow of marketing needs is not accounted for in the fixed price, so it isn’t always the best value for money.
Perhaps your company has an in-house marketing team who are great at execution but need a hand with strategy or design expertise.
Here’s where our Marketing Strategy Starter Kit comes in, partnering with you to give a great starting point for your own team to implement high-quality and effective marketing strategy.
The aim of the Marketing Strategy Starter Kit is to leave you with all you need to implement strategic and high-quality marketing.
The Marketing Strategy Starter Kit offers complete transparency with a one-time, fixed fee, so you know exactly what you're paying for upfront. This predictability makes budgeting straightforward, with no hidden costs.
Priced at just £3,500 + VAT—the equivalent of a single month’s salary for an average Marketing Manager—the kit provides exceptional value. To make it even more accessible, we also offer flexible payment options, allowing you to spread the cost over a couple of months as the work progresses.
A big focus of the Marketing Strategy Starter Kit is the dedicated support and training we give to you.
By getting to know you and your business personally, we can curate strategic marketing planning and design and then train you in how to implement it, giving you long-term ownership of your marketing as well as vital skills.
But don’t just take our word for it - our
online reviews show that The Thinking Cap not only have a huge level of marketing expertise, but we also know how to use it to help other businesses.
The vision of the Marketing Strategy Starter Kit is to empower your team to take your marketing to the next level.
As well as giving you a foundational tailored content plan, strategy and creative assets (to get you started), we enable your business to replicate your content internally with our style guide and training, ensuring a cost-effective approach to brand continuity.
By implementing a self-sufficient marketing strategy, you’ll be able to sustain the growth in your marketing efforts long-term, rather than relying on an agency to provide content for you on a regular, short-term basis.
If you need, we can also check in with you to keep you accountable and make sure you’re sticking to the plans and goals we’ve made until you’re in the swing of your regular marketing and posts.
It’s worth paying the cost of a few monthly calls or zooms to make sure that you’re implementing the marketing strategies which will help your business to grow and flourish.
Our Marketing Strategy Starter Kit is the perfect solution for SMEs, bridging the gap between expert strategic planning and in-house execution.
If you’d like to find out whether the Marketing Strategy Starter Kit is for you, reach out and book a chat to talk it through today.
As we spend so much time tailoring it to your company, only two businesses per month can enrol in the Marketing Strategy Starter Kit, so we recommend acting quickly to book your chat in so that you can secure your spot for the next year.
