What does it actually cost to get ROI on social media?
Not the "post and hope" version. The version that actually moves the needle.
Here's the honest numbers for North Carolina:
๐ป Basic social media management - $1,500/mo
๐ฐ Minimum monthly ad spend - $300/mo
๐ Total - $1,800/mo to do it right
Why does this number matter? Because the most common reason social media doesn't convert isn't the algorithm or the posting frequency. It's a mismatch between investment and expectation.
Organic reach alone is a branding exercise. A beautiful feed without ad support is not a lead generation engine. And a modest ad budget without strong content behind it is money spent with no foundation to land on.
The businesses seeing real ROI are treating social media like the business channel it is - with a real budget, a real strategy, and consistent ex*****on behind it.
If your social media isn't converting, the answer is almost always here.
EleVault social media packages start at $750/mo - built for businesses ready to treat social media like the growth channel it is.
