MARKETING MENTORING SERVICE – CHERRYAID MARKETING

Imagine being able to consult with a marketer — and move past your marketing conundrums.

Without the big price tag.

In business, a little help — and accountability — can go a long way. That’s how my marketing mentoring clients feel.

You’re out there, and you’re marketing your business — posting on social media, using email software, and even dabbling in posting the odd blog post.

You’re happy doing marketing your way — and that’s great! But wouldn’t it be nice if you could check in with a marketer for some valuable input, support, and even mentorship?

Call me your marketing mentor

Whether you’re frustrated with marketing software or need to bounce ideas off an expert, there is an answer.

You may be thinking, but I don’t have the budget for marketing strategy or support services. That’s okay. This is where marketing mentoring comes in.

Flexible, easy on the budget, and highly effective at solving those marketing niggles, I mentor clients on everything from social media content to planning their latest lead magnet.

Book marketing mentoring sessions to suit your diary & budget

Marketing mentoring sessions are there to fill that marketing-shaped gap in your knowledge. Tailored to your business, work with me 1:1 to cover topics in line with your marketing strategy. From training and guidance, to brainstorming ideas, this is your opportunity to get expert marketing insight — at a budget-friendly price point.

You can book a one-off session when you need a boost, or opt for monthly support if you’d like more regular input and accountability.

Option 1

One-off marketing mentoring

Just when you need it

Perfect if you’re facing a specific challenge or need a dose of expert input to boost your confidence and clarity.

A one off mentoring session gives you focused time to dig into your marketing, ask questions, solve problems and walk away with practical next steps. It’s your chance to get unstuck, spark ideas and move forward, without overcommitting your time or budget.

How a one-off marketing mentoring session works

Schedule a 2-hour one-to-one session at a time and date that suits you.
Opt for a Zoom session or meet in person.
Enjoy 2 x 15-minute follow-up calls as part of your booking. This allows me to address any queries you have after the session or to check in on your progress, keeping you accountable!

This service is typically for:

Small business owners, start-ups and entrepreneurs across any industry who are comfortable with their own marketing but would like a helping hand and a nudge in the right direction.

You could be struggling with a specific issue — like your Google Analytics or email marketing platform — or simply wish to get some general reassurance and advice from a marketing expert.

Your investment

£350 for a 2-hour session (2 x 15 minute follow-up calls included)

If you book a session outside a 5-mile radius of Northwich, mileage will be charged at £0.45 per mile.

Option 2

Ongoing marketing mentoring

Tailored to you

Ideal if you’re looking for regular support, accountability and expert insight without hiring someone in-house.

The monthly mentoring service gives you consistent access to me for check-ins, troubleshooting, and keeping your marketing on track. Whether you’re stuck in the weeds or need big-picture thinking, this is your monthly dose of momentum.

How ongoing marketing mentoring works

Start with a 2-hour deep dive session to review your current marketing approach and set direction.
Then choose your pace:

Weekly 30-minute check-in calls
Or a 1-hour call every two weeks

whatever works best for you.

All sessions are online and flexible to fit your schedule.

This service is typically for:

Small business owners, start-ups and entrepreneurs who want regular input on their marketing without committing to a full-time hire. It’s perfect if you’re juggling lots of moving parts and need someone to sense-check your plans, answer your questions, or help you keep things moving.

You might want help working through a specific project, like launching a campaign or reviewing your email marketing. Or you might just need someone to bounce ideas off and stop procrastinating.

“She has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with small business owners such as myself.

Her advice about the best ways I could manage my customer journey has meant that I’ve been able to automate more processes which in turn saves me time, and means that my customers get a much more consistent and organised response from me.”

QUESTIONS ABOUT MARKETING MENTORING

FAQs

If you don’t see your question here, or simply would like some more information before booking, enquire here — and I’ll come back to you in a tick.

Why is the one off marketing mentoring session 2 hours long?

The 2 hours allow for a quick 5-minute catch-up at the start before we get into the session. In the session, I need to understand what you want to achieve. It also gives us plenty of time to really delve deep into the subject or training and allows time for you to ask questions, too. Don’t worry, we can absolutely have a (tea) break half-way through.

What if I only need 1 hour? Can I do that?

For online sessions, I can split the 2-hour sessions into 2 x 1-hour sessions. You can book one hour to start with and use the other hour within 3 months of the first session.

I’m not based in Northwich, Cheshire. Can you still do marketing mentoring with me?

Yes, of course. Online sessions are always available. I work on Teams for these sessions.

What do I need to prepare for the mentoring call?

Nothing, really! Before the session, I’ll be in touch to ask you what you want to cover/ achieve. I may give you some homework between sessions to keep you on track (and accountable — because it works well that way!).

What happens on the follow-up calls?

The follow-up calls can be on the phone or online. They’re an opportunity for us to review how things have been going since our session and for you to ask any additional questions that may have come up after the session.

Do I get anything at the end of the session?

If it’s an online session, I can record it and send you the link so you can review it. If appropriate, I’ll also send any additional materials (such as templates, how-to guides etc.) that will help you in-between sessions.

Is the marketing mentoring service available on a retainer basis?

Yes, of course. A regular marketing check-in to keep you on track and accountable is a great idea. For retainer rates, send an enquiry here.
