What do you get?
We use a two part strategy to showcase your business in front of thousands of new customers, guaranteed.
Part 1. You’ll get your very own full page article on our local business directory website. Your article comes complete with a photo gallery, 5 star reviews, Google maps, etc.
The article will contain a link back to your website which drives traffic to your site and helps with your search engine optimization. We’ll also tag your article with relevant search terms so your article will come up in our on-site local business search engine.
You can share this article on your social media, link to it from your website, etc. A published article about your business is a great credibility booster.
“But after the article is published, how will local people see it?”
We don’t just wait around for people to find your business on our website. We pay money (funded by the the co-op) to guarantee that you’ll get big exposure in your community. That’s where part two comes in…
Part 2. We will create and manage a custom paid Facebook ad campaign exclusively for your business. We use paid ads because unlike regular posts, paid ads get shown to everyone in your local area. Even people who haven’t liked your Facebook page. Even people who have never heard of you before!
Your custom ad campaign will run every month, and it will be seen by 15,000 to 20,000 local residents (maybe more!) each year in your service area. If you want thousands of fresh, local eyeballs on your business, this will do it.
Pricing
Typical marketing agencies charge fees of at least $500 per month for a service like this.
By dividing the costs among hundreds of businesses in our co-op, you pay $348 per year. That’s right – an entire year of local marketing!
Choose between monthly plan and yearly plan:
Monthly Plan: $42 per month (no contract) + $189 set up fee = $693 per year
Yearly Plan: $29 per month (12 months paid up front) + FREE set up = $348 per year (saves you 50%)
Our mission is to provide a super affordable way for even the smallest local businesses to get in front of thousands of local customers without having to pay marketing agency prices.

We’ll promote your article with a geo-targeted social media ad campaign, custom branded with your business name. We buy ad space on your behalf (co-op funded) to guarantee that you will reach thousands of customers in your local service area. We can laser target your ads to just one town, show them across a large metro area, or something in between – whatever works best for your business.
Every business is different, and so is the return on investment from advertising. But this little exercise should help you decide…
Think about your typical customer. How much money does one customer spend with you over the entire course of your business relationship? With that number in mind, how many new customers would we have to bring you in the next 12 months to earn back your advertising investment with us? One? Maybe two?
We’ll get you in front of thousands of people. All you need is for one or two of them to try you out. Then it’s up to you to turn them into raving fans that keep coming back again and again.
Companies such as Yelp tend to promote their own brand first and their client’s brand second. We think that’s backwards.
At Spenditin.com we use the co-op’s money to promote your businesses and your brand directly and independently, instead of promoting our own. The result is that more people see your ads, but they don’t realize those ads are coming from Spenditin.com. You could say we function more like an agency.
Spenditin.com serves over a quarter million ad views each month, so undoubtedly you’ve seen ads for the businesses we promote. You just didn’t realize those ads were coming from us.
You can see actual articles by visiting our website at Spenditin.com
While our promos make the most sense for businesses that sell products or services to consumers, Business to Business companies can benefit as well because of our low price point. If we charged $1500 per month (or much more) like most agencies, then it probably wouldn’t make sense to try to promote B2B because our ads are shown primarily to local residents. However, with thousands of ad views, many of the people we reach will either own or hold decision making positions in the types of businesses you may be trying to reach. And for pennies a day, all it takes is one new client to make it all worth it.
Less than 20 minutes total. Three minutes to watch the video, and then ten minutes on the phone so we can learn more about your business. We’ll create your article and ad campaign and email the proofs to you so you can look them over and request edits if necessary. At that point your work is done. We handle everything from there.
Even if you’re the first business in your town to join us, Spenditin.com starts working right away. Why? Because instead of waiting around for people to discover you on our website, we purchase ad space to actively promote your business. You’ll get views right from month one. So it doesn’t matter if there is one or a hundred and one businesses on Spenditin.com in your community. It works just as well in either case. There is literally no reason to wait.
