Increase Your Sales

Unsure how to get results from your marketing efforts?

You’re Not Alone.

This is the number one problem we hear from small business owners about their marketing, and we get it. There are a lot of voices and marketing people out there vying for your dollars. There are different opinions about what’s most important and how to get it all implemented. On top of that, marketing can feel kinda mystical when it’s difficult to discern what to do and in what order. It can be hard to know at the outset if you’re going to get real results from your investment. Then, you’re left feeling skeptical and doubtful, and you may even find yourself retracting from marketing altogether.

It doesn’t have to be this way, though.

At Hoffbeck + Co, we know that checking a box that you did “XYZ marketing effort” doesn’t mean you get the desired outcome (aka: not all marketing is created equal). Mediocre effort gets you mediocre results. Just “doing the thing” isn’t enough. In marketing, “sufficient” isn’t the goal. We’re in the business of helping your business be an outlier so you can dominate in your space.

why a plan and clear story matters.

  • Brent Edwards, Brent the Broker

    “They have helped me with financial planning for my business, handle all of my marketing, web development, messaging/branding, and digital marketing.

  • Allison Fallon, Find Your Voice

    “When hiring someone to write for your business, you want someone who will do it right—who can get in your head and do it the way YOU would do it. As a writer myself, I’m extra picky about these things, and Mahla has been a huge asset. Not only does she deliver excellent results, on time, she’s also a joy to work with. The process is seamless and enjoyable. Whether you’re looking to grow a certain revenue stream, or just clean up the marketing copy for you small business, Mahla is the right person to help.”

  • Kyle Westaway, Westaway

    “Mahla was a dream to work with. She understood our vision and was fully invested in our success. We hired her to draft a one-liner + web copy and she totally delivered on our (expedited) timeline… The final product is something we're super proud of and our clients are connecting with.”

  • Holly Mandel, Improvolution

    “WOW. They are life savers (well, Business-Savers…and growers!) we adore our website and not only the look and feel of it but also the thinking behind it which we would’ve never been able to get to without their help and guidance.”

  • Sara Jean Banks, New Teacher Collective

    “I am incredibly happy that I found Hoffbeck + Co. I reached out to them to help me build a website and sales funnel and they delivered with the quality and detail that I had hoped... and at a price that my small business could afford. I am versed in the Storybrand framework and have read all the books and [they] helped me deliver a website and sales funnel that stayed true to the Storybrand Framework but with all the branding and design I envisioned for my start-up even more revitalized.”

  • Ryan Heenan, Wildflower Farm

    “Mahla and the Hoffbeck team are AMAZING. We initially hired them to create a website for a boutique event venue. It turns out, they were so much more than just web designers. They were business coaches, strategists, and expert guides throughout. [They] were great about asking hard questions and getting us to sort out exactly how our business should be run. We now have a custom website that looks beautiful and a business that serves our clients better than we could have imagined. Highly, highly recommended!”

How Much Should YOU spend on your marketing?

Good question. The SBA (Small Business Association) recommends you spend 7-8%+ of your annual revenue on marketing. Do the math on that. Is your budget too small? If so, your budget might just be a four letter word: WANT. Let that sink in a sec. The problem is — what you want to spend might not be giving your business its best chance at success.
