The Snoball Effect
The Snoball Effect includes 2 separate series:
1. Local Business Series - We help one small business boost their marketing over 3 months.
2. Marketing Playbook Series - We invite Sales and Marketing experts to offer tips and advice to those struggling to jumpstart their marketing and sales operations.
You know those marketing tips that are easier said than done? We go do them in real life.
We focus an entire 10-episode season on boosting a single small business with a $0 marketing budget. We'll use enterprise-level tools — like Snoball — to carry out audacious marketing plans and strategies over 3 months.
We'll see if it works out.
We'll use our network to attract business professionals to provide insights and aid our marketing efforts.
Our purpose is to prove the effectiveness of 1) referrals, reviews, and reputation marketing and 2) investing time into branding/growth strategies.
For our first season, we're growing a barber shop with plans to hire 2 new barbers.
We are going to fill the new hires' schedules with net new customers via a robust referral marketing plan and the use of an enterprise-level tool, Snoball.
We will also identify any additional business goals related to revenue or reputation growth and knock those out of the park.

[LOCAL BIZ] Ep 8: The Snoball Stack - An Unconventional Tech Stack
The Snoball crew tackles the tech question as it relates to small businesses: if you were a small business, which tech would you need to grow?Introducing The Snoball Stack — a tech stack with everything from energy drinks and photography setup tips to professional SEO services and AI video tools. The crew worked hard to reach out to tech and service companies far and wide to get deals for Studio Z. This resulted in:
- @filmlaab : a film collective with an offer for free photography setup guidance at Studio Z
- @opusclip : a generative AI video editing platform that provided 5000 free upload minutes for Studio Z to help create awesome video content.
- @BuckedUp : provided Studio Z with three boxes of energy drinks to hand out to customers.
- @SIDO_DIGITAL : provided a free local SEO analysis with action items for Studio Z to tackle some low-hanging fruit and get ahead of the majority of their local competition.We also talk about a few other tools, like Canva, Davinci Resolve, and Hubspot for small businesses.
