Somewhere along the way, the word marketing started to leave a bad taste in people’s mouths—especially among small business owners.
Ask around, and you’ll often hear the same concerns:
-
“Marketing companies just want to take my money.”
-
“They promise the moon, then deliver nothing.”
-
“It’s all automated junk—bots, fake followers, and meaningless clicks.”
Unfortunately, these fears aren’t unfounded. Many small businesses have been burned by agencies that rely on impersonal algorithms, inflated vanity metrics, and overpriced retainers with little to show for it. As a result, “marketing” has become synonymous with risk, empty promises, and wasted budgets.
Why Small Businesses Avoid Talking to Marketing Companies
Small business owners live in the real world—where every dollar counts. The idea of paying thousands a month for questionable results can feel like gambling with their livelihood. Many have already tried working with agencies that:
-
Used cookie-cutter templates instead of original creative.
-
Focused on clicks and likes, not real conversions.
-
Pushed overly technical “solutions” no one explained clearly.
-
Made marketing feel like a mysterious, expensive black box.
When your time and money are tight, it’s easier to just avoid the conversation altogether.
