That's a great question! The answer to that really varies by business, which makes it very difficult to give a "rule of thumb" for budget allocation. There are also a variety of considerations when it comes to designing marketing materials, determining where and how to promote your business, how much you can handle on your own vs. hiring outside talent, and more.

The good news is, Fanbank can be a great help when it comes to your marketing and sales activity. For only $99 per month, you get access to an all-in-one solution that is designed to help you grow your business in your local neighborhood. Fanbank benefits include:

Thanks for the question! There are a number of benefits for members of Fanbank. Here are three that make Fanbank standout:

1) Customer relationships - Fanbank gives its members a way to form and deepen customer relationships like never before by offering incentives that local customers want. When customers are considering a purchase from many businesses, what gives our members a leg up? That's a question we ask ourselves daily to help our members find success.

2) Professionally designed marketing materials - All members get customized marketing materials built by the Fanbank professional design team. So you don't need to worry about hiring a designer, writing copy, etc. It's all done for you and included in your membership.

3) Save tons of time, money, and effort - Tasks that have taken (or would take you) hours to complete, reduced down to minutes. An all-in-one software solution for only $99 monthly, that delivers thousands of dollars of value. This benefit aligns strongly with the mission of Fanbank, not just helping our members grow, but making their lives easier and alleviating pain points on a daily basis.

Of course, these are just a few of the benefits of being a Fanbank member. The value of the Fanbank membership is reinforced regularly and we're always releasing new features and updates to improve member experience.

Sure, happy to give you my perspective. First, you should know that Fanbank is very focused on helping main street businesses (and that includes mobile food trucks) thrive by offering them tools and services typically only available to large companies (with large budgets).

 This means that we’re continually innovating and improving to find what works best for our rapidly growing base of customers. Fanbank takes customer reviews and customer feedback seriously and pride ourselves on being responsive to customer needs. This creates a lot of opportunity for new hires.

You’ll be a good fit with our company culture if you:  

1. Have a true passion and shared vision for supporting local business owners
2. Want to grow your career with a growing company 
3. Would like to work with a smart, experienced team in an ideal learning environment

Fanbank offers great benefits and office perks (the best equipment, it’s pet-friendly, regular treats and events). And if you’re applying for a position at HQ, you’ll be working in the heart of sunny Santa Monica, California. There are other reviews sites you can visit like Glassdoor (see: https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Fanbank-EI_IE1799600.11,18.htm) that can give you additional perspective on working at Fanbank.  
 

Thanks for your inquiry. If you have an independent business with a physical store location (or a service truck) based in the US, then YES, Fanbank can help you.
