Our workshops, training and marketing coaching are the perfect way to learn more about marketing your new business and ensure that you are doing things right from the very start. 

Please complete the contact form with as much information as possible and we’ll get back to you.

Without a professionally designed brand and brand guidelines you will not get the results from your marketing you deserve and your marketing will take longer to execute.

As a minimum we require you to have a professionally designed brand (logos) and set of brand guidelines (typography guidelines and colour codes). We also require you to be able to supply us with any licensed font files that you use within your brand for use across any relevant marketing collateral. Without this information it will take us longer to create your marketing and you will not have the best chance of success.

If you do not have this in place, we can connect you with one of our graphic design partner agencies to work with you independently on this requirement.

Web design is like the burger that’s not on the menu. If you ask for it we can certainly make it happen, but it’s not something that we actively advertise as a service. Just contact us to find out more.

We love to work with businesses to help create websites that work as hard as possible from a user-experience and marketing perspective. Our websites are so much more than just a pretty digital experience that looks good and doesn’t really achieve much more than that. Our websites offer the best user experience, take into consideration all the marketing tools and ops tools you’ll want to connect and most importantly they’re all SEO-friendly. 

We don’t offer web development or design in-house, although we have years of industry experience in UX (user experience) and web design at global brands like Cancer Research UK. Instead we prefer to work alongside one of our trusted partner agencies to deliver incredible Shopify websites or WordPress/ Woocommerce websites for our clients. Dear Charlie provides guidance from a UX perspective, all the copywriting, the SEO, email marketing and more to make the website the best it can be.

Don’t forget, you’ll also be needing a launch marketing strategy which we can sort out whilst we’re at it.

One of the reasons that we are able to provide great value to our clients is by working as efficiently as possible. This includes keeping our meetings virtual which saves time and money on travel and meeting room costs (a saving which we pass onto you). If you have a reason why you would prefer a meeting in person, please let us know and we can discuss whether this is possible.

Our rates do not include advertising spend. We do not pay for ads on our client’s behalf, you will be required to set up a credit card on your Facebook ad account to pay for these services. 

As a general rule you should look to budget at least $30/day ($900/month) for paid social advertising. We do not take on clients for paid advertising who cannot afford this minimum ad spend. This is because this is such a small amount of money with which to try and get results. If you can’t afford this ad spend, there are so many other marketing channels that you can exploit to drive sales for your business. We always suggest the best value option for our clients and will usually promote ‘free’ or unpaid channels, making sure everything to support your advertising is in the best possible place before spending your money on social ads.

Whilst we can guarantee that we will always do the very best work for our clients we do not offer guaranteed results or ROI on ad spend. Please don’t trust an agency that guarantees you X% return, because they simply can’t make that kind of promise. This is because every business is very different and every audience responds differently to marketing. We work closely with our clients to continuously optimise what we are doing and make sure it’s working as hard as possible for you to drive you the results you need. We’re happy to share examples of the work we’ve done for our clients previously, but for obvious reasons cannot share confidential information about specific results or their sales figures.

This depends on the service which you have booked. All our services are subject to our standard terms and conditions which you can find here. We’ll quickly explain the basics below. If you have any questions, please email hello@dearcharliemarketing.com and we’ll do what we can to help.

Whilst we understand that COVID-19 is causing a lot of uncertainty with business, we are also running a business that has overheads to pay and ask that you respect that.

As a general rule we are only able to reschedule project start dates as subject to availability within our schedule. We ask that you provide us with as much notice as possible and usually a minimum of 14-days (see terms for full details).

In some instances we may need to charge a restart or rescheduling fee if a project is delayed, postponed or rescheduled by a significant amount of time or within 2 weeks of the date on which the work was due to take place.

Marketing Strategy: We will reschedule your kick-off workshop if you haven’t completed the onboarding form within the deadline provided. This will be rescheduled to the next available date in our schedule. You will incur a rescheduling fee.

Marketing Coaching Calls: This call is a non-refundable service. If you need to reschedule your call you should contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you subject to availability. We do not accept rescheduling requests for this service within 7 days.

Marketing Delivery: If you need to readjust your delivery kick-off date after we have locked in the time for this work we are more than happy to do so, subject to availability. A restart or rescheduling fee may occur depending on the circumstances.
