PRACTICAL HELP FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Focus your time and budget where they can help.

You do not need every marketing channel at once. We review your customers, offers, existing activity, and available budget, then recommend a manageable starting point. Each campaign should have a clear audience, message, destination, and way to review what happened.

Marketing review & action plan

We discuss what you sell, who buys it, and where your current inquiries come from. We review your website and existing campaigns, identify gaps, and agree on priorities. The result is a focused scope with clear responsibilities rather than a list of disconnected activities.

Google Ads campaign support

Reach people searching for the services you offer with a carefully scoped advertising campaign. We plan the audience, search themes, message, budget, and landing page, and review conversion tracking where applicable. Advertising spend is separate from setup and management fees unless stated otherwise. Read Google’s guide to getting started with Ads for an introduction.

Email marketing

Keep in touch with customers through useful updates, seasonal promotions, and newsletters. We help organize the message, build the campaign, and define a review process before sending. We work from your permission-based audience and agreed platform, rather than treating email as a one-time blast.

Content that works across channels

A helpful article, seasonal offer, or recent project can support your website, email, and social posts. We adapt the material for each channel and link it to a relevant next step. Explore social media management for ongoing publishing support.

SMS alerts & customer updates

Text messages can suit timely announcements for customers who have chosen to receive them. We help plan the use case, message, audience, and sending process. Platform costs, message allowances, consent arrangements, and any ongoing management are defined before launch.

Practical AI workflow support

We can help identify repeatable tasks where AI-assisted drafting or connected tools may save time, such as turning an approved promotion into several content drafts. We define the tools, access, review points, and handoffs first. Customer-facing content still needs appropriate human review.

PERSONAL SERVICE. STRAIGHTFORWARD ADVICE.

Marketing guidance you can put into practice.

Work directly with Eric Grossman, owner of Acorn Digital Marketing, to choose priorities and understand the plan. We explain which tasks we will handle, which decisions need your input, and how results will be reviewed. Your budget and available time shape the scope from the beginning.

Based in Barnstable, MA, Acorn Digital Marketing has helped small businesses and nonprofits since 1999. We work with clients across Cape Cod and beyond.

HOW WE WORK

A clear process, with your input at each stage.

Choose a goal & starting point

We discuss the customers and work you want more of, review current activity, and select a manageable first goal. We agree on budget, scope, account access, and what a useful result would look like.

Prepare the message & campaign

We develop the content, creative, and destination page needed for the agreed channels. You approve business details and offers, and we check the customer’s next step before launch.

Launch, measure & improve

We review the available campaign and inquiry data, explain what it can and cannot show, and recommend adjustments. The next step might be refining the offer or landing page rather than simply spending more.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Digital Marketing questions, answered.

Where should a small business start with digital marketing?

Start with a clear offer, a website that explains it, and an easy way to contact you or buy. Then consider where your customers already search or pay attention. We review those basics before recommending advertising, email, social media, or a wider content program.

Do I need a monthly marketing package?

Not necessarily. You may need a one-time review, a campaign setup, or help with a specific promotion. Ongoing work is useful when there is a clear plan and enough activity to support it. We define the deliverables and review arrangements before recommending a continuing service.

Is advertising spend included in your fee?

Advertising spend is separate unless your proposal explicitly says otherwise. Setup, management, creative work, and landing page changes may also have different scopes. We separate these costs so you can see what you are paying for and approve the budget before a campaign starts.

Can you coordinate email, social media, and my website?

Yes. We can organize a campaign around one offer and adapt it for the selected channels. The wording, dates, and calls to action should agree, and links should lead to the right page. The scope identifies which channels and assets we will create or manage.

Do I need a new website before running ads?

Not always. We first review the page that would receive the traffic. It should explain the offer, work comfortably on mobile, and make the next step clear. A focused improvement may be enough; a wider website redesign is recommended only when the existing site needs it.

Can AI automate my marketing?

Some repeatable steps can be automated, but the right workflow depends on your tools, access, and approval needs. We start with a specific task and map out where information comes from and who reviews the output. We do not assume that an AI draft is ready to publish or send without checking.

How will you report results?

We agree on measures that fit the campaign, such as website visits, form submissions, calls, or other tracked actions. We distinguish platform activity from actual inquiries and sales. Where tracking is incomplete or customers use several channels, we explain the limits instead of assigning every result to one campaign.

Can I start with a small budget?

Yes. A smaller budget works best with a narrower goal and a clear scope. We can prioritize one audience, offer, or channel, and identify which preparation matters most. We also discuss whether the available budget is sufficient for the proposed activity before recommending paid campaigns.
