Free website services might sound appealing, but the reality is they often come with hidden costs. You might get a few basic pages hosted on their platform, but to have a truly independent website with your own domain name, a unique design, analytics, removal of the builder name from the URL, and removal of ads - all require additional fees. Often, these fees add up to more than what you'd pay with a low-cost website management company that provides those features from the start.
Not only that, but, at the risk of sounding crass, there's a reason each of us are in business. You're not a web designer. If you were a web designer, you'd have your own digital marketing company. You'd be the one writing this blog. But you're not a website developer; you've perfected your craft. By trying to also be the head of digital marketing at your company, you're taking away valuable time from your company which could be better spent speaking with potential customers, replying to current customers & reviews, headed to appointments, and most importantly - time spent figuring out & keeping up with the latest digital marketing trends leads to time spent away from your family.
Okay, so why choose TMS Digital over the rest?
Sure, we're not the cheapest – but we also don't want to be the cheapest. We're also definitely not the most expensive in town. Our pricing can be as low as a cup of coffee per day from the nearest Speedway or upward of the daily Iced Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks. Some of our "competitors" in the area having the Starbucks analogy as their starting price… So why the difference in price? You might expect better customer service from the more expensive options, but that's not always true. At TMS Digital, we're a small, locally-owned business with lower overhead costs. This allows us to offer competitive pricing without sacrificing on personalized service. We may not have a 24-hour customer service line like some large companies (but let's be honest, "customer service" is an oxymoron when it comes to those big guys), but you'll always be working with a dedicated professional right here in North Carolina.
