About ASBM

Why I Created ASBM

My sincerest Thank You for taking the time to consider ASBM for your business growth strategy. My name is Marco Perez and my marketing journey began 20 years ago when I became the Lead Generation Specialist for a small print company in the Midwest.

The job wasn’t easy; Cold-calling potential clients, introducing our company, offering them a sample packet, and then following up with them in a week. Through this work, I made it a priority to promote our company, using national publications, social media, and prospect engagement. With my skills and efforts getting noticed, I was promoted to Marketing Manager. My marketing career was launched, and I loved it!

Since then, I have worked with just about every type of marketing strategy from small and large format print to social media. I have led marketing and sales efforts that landed clients such as Nike, Live Nation, Home Depot, Discover Card, Amazon, Philip Morris, Vera Bradley, and many more well-known brands. I have managed successful social media marketing campaigns since 2006, built and managed email campaigns with over 4000 recipients, rebranded struggling companies, and improved sales, market share, and company reputations. I have built award-winning websites, and outfit companies with better messaging to fit with their marketing and product/service offerings. All of this happened with shoestring marketing budgets and no other marketing staff members.

In 2023, I started ASBM for small businesses with similar challenges that I faced my entire career; Small marketing budgets, and small to non-existent marketing teams that made it challenging. This is why I created Affordable Small Business Marketing.

ASBM provides small business owners with low-cost and highly effective digital marketing while increasing social media presence, improving client engagement, and monitoring and improving your online reputation through reviews. As small business owners ourselves, we understand the substantial cost of marketing and the time commitment required to grow your client base and social media presence.

The Average Salary for a Social Media Manager in the U.S. is $63,600.00 per year.
