The market

What selling in Greenville and Spartanburg is actually like.

Counties we cover
Greenville · Spartanburg · Anderson · Pickens · Laurens

The Upstate does not behave like a regional consumer market, because it is really a manufacturing economy wearing a mid-sized city. BMW and Milliken in Spartanburg, Michelin here, and behind them the several hundred suppliers, fabricators, distributors and engineering firms that exist because those names exist. The buyer is often an engineer or a plant manager who thinks in part numbers and lead times, has three quotes open, and will not be moved by an adjective.

Then there is the other Greenville, the one that has grown every year since Main Street was rebuilt: the home builders, the law firms, the restoration companies, the clinics, all competing for a population that keeps arriving from somewhere else. Two completely different sales cycles in one market of roughly nine hundred thousand people. Marketing that treats them the same does badly at both, which is why our work here has always started with which of the two you are actually in.

What we would be doing for you in Greenville.

The same capabilities everywhere, in the order that earns its keep here. All of it runs as one program on one roadmap, which is the part that is hard to buy separately.

  1. Search here is small enough to own outright and cheap enough to test in. A well-built account can cover the Upstate for what one badly built campaign wastes in a month.

  2. Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, Spartanburg and Easley are separate searches to Google even when they are one service area to you. Ranking in the one you sit in is not the same as ranking in the five you sell into.

  3. Half the industrial buyers here arrive from a search for a specification, not a company. A site organized around your departments instead of their problem loses them in one screen.

  4. The Upstate is a referral economy. Content is what makes you findable in between the referrals, and what the person who was referred to you reads before they call.

  5. Long B2B cycles make month-to-month numbers lie. Tracking that connects a call in March to a click in January is the difference between knowing and guessing.

  6. One roadmap a month, agreed with you, rather than six vendors each optimizing their own square of the board.

Questions people in Greenville ask us.

Including the two that are awkward for an agency to answer in writing, which is exactly why they are answered in writing.

Where is your office in Greenville?
Story Marketing is at 68 Pointe Circle, Suite 3101, Greenville, SC 29615, off Pelham Road. We have been in Greenville since 2009. Clients are welcome in the office, and the monthly strategy meeting happens in person whenever you would rather do it that way.
Do you work with manufacturers and B2B companies in the Upstate?
Yes, and it is most of what we have done here. Industrial computing, packaging machinery, contract textiles, engineering consulting, granite fabrication and manufacturers’ representatives are all in the published work on this site. B2B in the Upstate usually means a long cycle, a technical buyer and a small number of very valuable enquiries, which changes what the advertising is for and how it should be measured.
Do you cover Spartanburg, Greer, Simpsonville and the rest of the Upstate?
Yes. Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Pickens and Laurens counties are one service area to us and a set of separate searches to Google, which is a distinction that matters when you are deciding where to spend. We build campaigns and local search around the towns you actually sell into rather than the one your address is in.
What does a Greenville marketing agency cost?
One monthly investment, agreed before anything starts, and it does not move because of your industry, your revenue or the number of locations you run. There are four programs: one for a single objective, one for search and content, one for social, and one that runs all of it together. Which one fits depends on what you are trying to do this year, so the number comes with the recommendation rather than before it. Ask on the first call and you will get a straight answer.
