Swire Ho #thepromoguy (00:01):
Welcome to the small business show. We created a platform to have candid and in-depth conversations we find to put Nora. And this is professional. We find fascinating. Learn the tips and tricks for marketing, running, and growing a small business. The small business show is the official podcast of Garuda, promo and branding solutions. Hello everyone. Thank you for tuning in my name is Swire. You can also call me the promo guy today. My guest is Tammy Alverson from result marketing. She is a digital marketing expert. You know, some of the things that good about Tammy is she was able to take a solar roofing company from zero revenue into a hundred million a year. And he also increased a auto repair shop revenue five times in one year. So I did, I’m sure I have a lot of crushing, I’ll be taking notes. But with that, welcome to the show, Tommy.
Tammy Alverson (00:57):
Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. It’s fine.
Swire Ho #thepromoguy (00:59):
So, first question is how, how does it take to grow from zero to a hundred million? Like what are the red they done, right. To be able to achieve those success?
Tammy Alverson (01:11):
Yeah. it was a ten-year plan, so it took us 10 years to get there from basically zero. And what we did was we created what we call a step-up plan and we, we would for each month that after the initial couple of months of getting everything set up and all that, then each month thereafter for every time, every single time that they had leads come on and sold jobs off of those leads, the owner would take a certain percentage away to reinvest and reinvest and reinvest, and he would keep increasing, increasing, increasing to the point where we got to a point where we could do TV, radio billboards you name it. And so we were able to create a lot of platforms for him to use, but it, it, it all started with his website and a simple pay-per-click and SEO campaign.
Swire Ho #thepromoguy (02:13):
Well, so let’s talk about that. Thinking deeper. You said that it all starts with a website. So are you recommending that, you know, small businesses out there before they spend any marketing, they need to prepare their website, optimize it first before they start doing any digital marketing campaign?
Tammy Alverson (02:31):
No, not at all. Typically we will recommend when somebody comes to me, especially as somebody in a competitive field like roofing or personal injury attorney law right now, bankruptcy attorneys are doing well. And then of course, water damage restoration for all the people that are flooding in areas that they’re not used to have snow. So it’s really important when you get a new client that you want to, you want to show them results. You want to show be able to start that revenue stream coming in right away. And by doing a lot of times, most of the time, we’ll just start with pay-per-click on both Google and bang. And then while we get that campaign going optimized machine learning’s kinda going through its thing, we’ll also start doing their SEO. And most of the time just doing simple citations and directories starting there, and then going through and optimizing, if they have an existing website that we can optimize or building a new site or whatever it is many times we’ve had people with no one site or a terrible website. And we just felt it was better to create a, a landing page for them to, for us to stop the whole thing. Yeah. So honestly, you know, we recommend, if you can afford it, do both because you’ll get that revenue coming in typically within 45 days, you’ll, you’ll be doing pretty good
Swire Ho #thepromoguy (04:12):
Really, but then asking in terms of how, you know, normally or small pieces were asked, you know, how much is this going to cost? Right. So, you know, they might not have the budget and obviously they want to do this to increase their revenues. But I know that you have a near, you mentioned a study and then actually a formula that people can allocate those budgets and marketing.
Tammy Alverson (04:37):
Yeah. So, you know, the small business administration who recommends, it’s a huge, huge variable. And so, you know, most people, for some reason, I find most people have 6% in their head for okay, I need to allocate 6% a year towards marketing
Swire Ho #thepromoguy (05:01):
From their revenue or like their net earning.
