Marketing the Way it Should Be. Affordable and Accessible For All.
Project Description
The Market Base is a SaaS platform that provides affordable marketing teams to entrepreneurs and small business owners.
My name is Jannae, one of three co-founders of the Market Base, and we are a team of small business equal opportunists. Our mission is closing the digital marketing gap for entrepreneurs and small businesses by providing affordable access to expert marketing teams, as well as, reinventing the process of hiring, firing and collaborating with them.
Here's the problem: Digital marketing is now the most important growth tool for businesses. But EFFECTIVE marketing nis not accessible or affordable for a small to medium size business. Check out these numbers:
99% of US business are small businesses
59% DIY their digital marketing
21% have effective digital marketing in place
82% fail due to cash flow.
Why? Current solutions are not cost effective (avg cost $300k/yr), not collaborative, come with the time and frustration of hiring/firing, or they have slow onboarding turnaround times for deliverables.
The Market Base is a multi-marketing SaaS platform, where every business owner has the freedom to manage a collaborative team, receive effective marketing strategies that support growth, and create unlimited digital marketing and graphic design requests with a 72 hour turnaround time.
We created this platform for:
-Overwhelmed business owners who understand marketing and the need, but just don't have the time or a large budget to execute.
-Digital Marketing freelancers or entrepreneurs who want to grow, but hire a team or have previously hired freelancers that became to costly and had no systems to collaborate.
-Businesses launching or planning an event with a short, robust campaign such as a product launch or large event that requires full scale marketing.
-Startups needing traction who have limited funding or are bootstrapping their way to the top.
Our team is the right team because we have been in the industry for a combined 15+ years. We were all entrepreneurs. We understand the customer's point of view and how painful it can truly be to have to decide to outsource marketing or pay your rent. Because of this domain expertise and our experiences as entrepreneurs, we are uniquely qualified to help solve this problem for consumers.
Currently, we have an MVP (minimum viable product) and we are raising money on iFundWomen to market it to beta users/our first customers and establish a product market fit, as well as validate our price points.
We have a really attractive discounts for business owners who take part in our campaign such as launch event tickets, free unlimited graphic design and marketing services, and access to a wide range of investors.

The Project FAQs
When will the platform be available?
Great question! The Minimum Viable Product is currently available to our Beta users. We predict a full product launch in March 2020. We're raising money to build our v2 experience of the desktop version and app, which will be available in Q3 of 2020. The goal is to demonstrate traction for our idea in order to seek additional investment funding.
How will it work?
Business owners join the the platform, select their marketing services (content, social, paid advertising or search), and they are placed with a project manager that best fits their industry and marketing campaign goals within 24 hours. From there a strategy call is conducted and it's off to the races! Though a project manager will reach out within 24 hours, business owners can start making requests immediately.
When can I redeem my reward?
