What a $1,000 vs. $299 Digital Marketing Package Actually Includes (Vermont Edition)

Walk into any Vermont networking event and you'll hear two numbers thrown around: $299 and $1,000. One is the freelancer special. The other is the established agency floor. But what do those packages actually include? We broke it down — Vermont edition, no marketing fluff.

The $299 Package: What You Actually Get

Typically marketed as "digital marketing Milton VT" or "social media starter," the $299 tier usually includes a templated social media calendar, basic Canva graphics, and maybe a monthly analytics screenshot. Strategy? Light. Customization? Minimal. Results accountability? Good luck.

These packages work for solopreneurs who need a social presence and aren't expecting lead generation. They do not work for B2B tech companies trying to compete with agencies charging ten times more.

The $1,000+ Package: What Changes

At $1,000 and above, you should expect a dedicated strategist, custom content, SEO keyword research, paid ad management, and monthly reporting with actual recommendations. Established Vermont agencies at this tier often include account management, brand voice development, and integration with your CRM.

The gap between $299 and $1,000 isn't incremental — it's categorical. You're buying a different level of thinking, not just more posts.

What True Vector Does Differently

We don't sell monthly marketing retainers. We sell diagnostic and proof-building services because that's what rebuilding Vermont tech agencies actually need first. A $97 Premium Profit Report tells you if you can afford a $1,000 marketing package. A $149 coaching session helps you negotiate one without getting oversold.

How to Choose

Ask any provider: what's included, what's extra, and what happens if I want to cancel? Vermont companies that skip this conversation end up paying for packages that look affordable until you count the add-ons.
