Frequently Asked Questions

The ultimate cost of Local Outlet Marketing (LOM) and Creator Marketing is determined by several factors, including: The specific creators and/or outlets involved Their market locations Any content creation needs The type of content you want delivered (Feed Post, Story Post, etc.) Your business type/industry The product, service, event, or offer being promoted The total volume of promotional work offered to each creator/outlet (more work usually results in better bargains) Much more! As a result of these many factors, there is no standardized pricing template. However, we collaborate with your marketing team to design tailored plans that aligns with your business’s strategy, goals, and budget. After initial discussions and gathering key details, Greater Wave will provide a comprehensive proposal, including a detailed price breakdown of all components. From there, we’ll work together to refine the proposal, ensuring the selected talents/outlets, deliverables, and pricing are perfectly suited to your budget parameters.

You and your marketing team always has final say. Greater Wave will collect information regarding your goals, target markets, and budget, and then make suggestions/proposals based on that. However, you'll have full control over which creators and/or outlets you work with, what types of promotions are delivered, etc.

Greater Wave leads the charge, but this is typically a collaborative effort. Crafting promotional content that feels authentic and familiar to an audience while still ensuring everything is aligned with both your brand's guidelines and the creator's and/or outlet's content parameters can be tricky. But this is a challenge we’ve mastered here at Greater Wave. While your team always has final approval over all deliverables, Greater Wave will lead the creative and copy drafting process, alleviating tedious work from your team and building a strong foundation for effective campaigns.

Yes and no. While we can’t provide every specific performance metric from past campaigns due to privacy agreements with our clients and the creators/outlets, we can share some general information, visual examples of past promotional content, and insights that are publicly available (such as likes/shares on a promotional post). Although we can't always get into the nitty-gritty of the data, Greater Wave will provide examples and guidance around the content styles we’ve used, creative strategies that performed well, and our top-performing creators/outlets for your goals.

We make it simple for your team. We'll provide a W9 so your team can integrate Greater Wave into your accounts payable system. For first-time partners, we may require a deposit prior to the delivery of any marketing materials. However, once the relationship is validated, we invoice your business directly for the various services provided after they are executed to the agreed-upon expectations. We're happy to work with your business's unique payment needs and timelines, so please just reach out if there are any other specific questions regarding this.

Running traditional Facebook or Instagram ads can be a great part of any marketing plan. However, strategic marketing campaigns on local outlets are completely different and have a variety of different benefits. First of all, the promotional content is typically received better as it's delivered from a platform of local or niche authority. Next, it's more affordable. The cost-per-reach value Greater Wave can provide is often much better when compared to other forms of digital advertising. Lastly, both Creator and Local Outlet Marketing allow for much more creative content and delivery options, which can lead to better engagement, conversions, and overall audience reach/growth.

Creator and Local Outlet Marketing are pretty niche and have a range of complexities to them. So, more questions and clarifications are to be expected! We're happy to get in touch to provide more detailed information and potentially set up a time to chat over things. Please just Contact Us.
