We’ve never really been involved with social media before. I knew a lot about it but I just never really could do it correctly and we’ve bought on to the company, Ridge Media, two years ago and we’re now setting records in sales that we have never have before and the things we can contribute it to are the renovations and the social media effort that Ridge Media has done for us. It’s been phenomenal.
– Charlie McMullen Blockhouse
My experience with Ridge Media has been excellent. We started with them before the global pandemic so they really helped us navigate all of that, get our messaging out to our customer base, and really help us expand our audience. Our return on investment has been incredible. We’re busier than ever been and I really can’t say enough about our relationship.

The Ridge Media team brought my vision to life! They are experts in all aspects of marketing. I own a bar service company in Upstate SC and had no idea what to do about designing a logo, developing a web presence, creating content, etc. After meeting with Kenny and his team of creatives, I knew I would be in the best hands when it came to getting my brand out there.
– Jared Little Southern Libations
I recommend this marketing group to all businesses in the Upstate. They have a team-oriented mentally and are about helping businesses to grow. This team of people is dedicated to taking the mission statement and identity of your business and getting that out to the world via social media and the Internet.
– Braelen Meredith Alliance

We look forward to not only working with them in the coming years, but seeing them grow into one of the premier marketing firms!

Why is Digital Marketing Essential To Service-Based Businesses

An effective digital marketing strategy utilizes all of the most cutting-edge marketing tools and techniques available to do everything from brand building to new business development. While this is essential for all types of business, it is especially important for service-based businesses. Why? Because elements of a digital marketing strategy, such as the website, often act as the intermediary between customers and your services. That means the digital marketing strategy that Ridge Media will help you develop will not simply help you sell your service to your customer, but also act as a digital interface by which you execute your service. In short, the digital infrastructure that we will build out could prove to be essential to the functionality of your service. That means we are not only helping you sell to your customers, we are helping you service them, which in turn, will also help sell. Talk about a positive feedback loop!

The Benefits of Digital Marketing In Selling Your Service

Due to their structural nature, service-based businesses can benefit in many ways from the digital marketing infrastructure Ridge Media is capable of developing. Here are a couple ways your service could actually be enhanced by our approach to service-based digital marketing:

Enhance Personal Interaction with Customers As a service-based business a big part of what will determine your success is your customer retention rate. With the development of the right digital platforms, Ridge Media can help you connect with your customers on a more intimate and personal level. Our developers and designers can help you build out the digital presence and user-experience you are looking for. By focusing on closer interaction, we can ensure that your customers have easier access to provide feedback so that you can continually iterate your service accordingly.

Keep Your Service Offerings More Flexible Ridge Media’s dynamic and versatile team can offer you incredible amounts of flexibility as to how you want your digital presence to materialize. We will help you offer your customers the exact experience they are looking for whether it be in learning about your service, purchasing your service, or even receiving your service. You can extend the flexibility that we provide you to your customers by very consciously designing an experience that fits their precise wants and needs. Also, as a company focused on relationships over revenue, Ridge Media sees your success as our success. That means, we will continue working with you long after launch, analyzing the mountains of data we will collect to help you continue improving your service offering and how it is marketed in a way that directly increases revenue.
