Introducing Marketing Plans for local business

Marketing Plans for local business: one Bendigo team runs your website, Google profile, reviews, social, ads, email and reporting, with the plans priced openly.

ยท Updated

Bendigo, Victoria. Bendigo Graphics today introduced Marketing Plans, monthly plans that give a local business the work of a marketing department without having to build one. Websites, Google Ads, Facebook and Instagram ads, social posts, email and reporting are run by one local team, the same people who already look after your print.

When we introduced the new Bendigo Graphics in July, we said marketing should show its results. Marketing Plans are how we deliver on that.

Plans, priced in the open

Every plan and its price is published on our Marketing Plans page, along with what each one includes, so you can compare them before you ever speak to us.

What we run for you

A Marketing Plan covers the work a small business rarely has time to do well, and keeps it in one set of hands:

There is no need to brief five different people or chase anyone for an update. One team holds the whole picture, from the website to the print on your counter.

Design, every month

Growth and Department include design jobs every month, from flyers and shirts to the sign on the ute, made by the team that already knows your brand.

What is paid separately

Ad spend is paid to Google and Meta directly, so it goes straight to your ads. Print is charged separately, at the live prices shown on each product page.

Good to know: keeping ad spend separate from the plan means the fee pays for the work, and the budget pays for the reach. You decide how much goes to the platforms.

See it all in one place

Every plan runs on the customer portal, the place for clients to see their marketing that we promised in July. It shows what is running, what it costs and what it brought in, and it is where you approve the work before it goes out. We will say more about the customer portal very soon.

Why it matters

City agencies sell marketing to businesses that already have a marketing department, someone in-office to brief them, chase them and read the reports. Most businesses in Central Victoria do not have that person. They have an owner, a phone that keeps ringing and a few minutes at the end of the day.

A Marketing Plan is built for that owner: one local team doing the work, open prices, and results you can see without having to ask. If you are weighing the options, our guide to an agency, a freelancer or doing it yourself and what a monthly marketing report should tell you are good places to start.

Our take: If there is no one in your office to brief, chase and read the reports, a Marketing Plan puts one local team on the whole job.

Common questions

What is a marketing plan for a small business?

Here it means a monthly plan where one local team runs your marketing: your website and SEO, Google Ads and Facebook and Instagram ads, social posts, email, your Google Business Profile and reviews, and reporting on what it all did. You approve the work before it goes out.

Is ad spend included in a Marketing Plan?

No. Ad spend is paid to Google and Meta directly, so it goes straight to your ads and you decide how much the platforms get. The plan fee pays for the work and the budget pays for the reach. Print is charged separately, at the live prices on each product page.

Do Marketing Plans include design?

Growth and Department include design jobs every month, from flyers and shirts to the sign on the ute, made by the team that already knows your brand. What each plan includes is set out side by side on our Marketing Plans page, so you can compare them before you talk to us.

How do I see what my marketing is doing?

Every plan runs on our customer portal, which shows what is running, what it costs and what it brought in. It is also where you approve work before it goes out, so you can see the results at any time without having to ask for an update.
