Starting an Allstate agency isn’t easy. I had so many things coming at me that it was hard to know what we needed and what we didn’t when it came to marketing. We were getting calls every day from people trying to sell us this and that. When Rick joined us, I could finally start saying no to things that wouldn’t produce a return. He put together campaigns on social media, got us noticed on Google, and put systems in place that made sure we knew what was working and what wasn’t. Just knowing we’re not wasting money every month on marketing is amazing. I can finally focus on what I’m good at and grow our agency to where I want it.

I went to Rick at Holmes Marketing because I needed to get my business, Thompson Pens, up and running online. I’ve had a website in the past but it’s been down for years. I talked with Rick and he laid out a 3 month plan to build out everything. First the website to sell our pens, then social media, and so forth. Each step was clearly laid out with a timeline. The best part, though, was that he was so willing to answer my questions. There’s a lot to learn about marketing these days and Rick is a great teacher.

We have had a great experience with Holmes Marketing! Rick makes himself available and is always quick to respond to any questions or concerns.

Holmes Marketing has partnered with me on several different projects from concept to launch. They’ve designed sales materials, wrote press releases, built a website, and helped with the planning of our marketing strategy. Rick has always been easy to reach and work with. I never have to worry about my business's finer details falling through the cracks. They get me what I need, when I need it.

I had made the typical marketing rounds for years. Spend money on this banner, these ads, those call transfers. Honestly, I was at a loss on where to spend my marketing budget. I knew I needed to do something, but who knows what will really work. I met with Rick at Holmes Marketing and before he left my office, we had a plan. The relief was immediate. I knew that the money I would spend would come with reports that would tell me how well it performed. But then the first Facebook Giveaway started. We went with a local pizza place as our giveaway and it was way beyond what I’d expected. In two weeks, we got around 150 leads who had agreed to a quote. We had our best month in years, and we were able to support one of our favorite local restaurants at the same time.
