Social Schmoes Marketing

What We Do For You

We provide social media services at an affordable rate, focusing on non-profits, small and mid-sized businesses. We do not limit our client list, this is simply where we have found the greatest need. Marketing and promotion takes up so much time that small businesses end up not being able to expand or develop new projects due to how much of a commitment marketing is. The Social Schmoes give clients back time to focus on other areas of their business.

Client Review
Someone recommended the Social Schmoes to me after I explained my struggles starting on social media. I had all the platforms I needed but I wasn't sure how to grow it and what to do. The Social Schmoes were clear with their ideas, understanding to my limitations and helped me see changes within the first month of working with them! I highly recommend the Social Schmoes for anyone looking to improve their marketing in Kingston, especially if money is an issue, the Schmoes charge a fair amount and take a MAJOR load off of your shoulders! Thank you Schmoes.
