Finally! Nigerian SME’s free from graphic designers holding their social media marketing efforts to ransom
This is the daily conversation between graphic designers and SME
SME: I need to post my new product on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter by 12noon Today please send me the designs.
Designer:I am still working on it and it won’t be ready before 12noon may be Tomorrow.
SME: I sent this to you over a week ago and you promised to deliver it in Two days
Designer:Yes but something came up,you know I am just helping you, you really can’t afford to pay me like the big clients I work for so you should be patient.
SME :Patient for how long??!!, this is not the first time you will do this to my campaign and marketing efforts, very soon I will look for someone else to do it for me.
SME: I will just post whatever I have like that, thank you for disappointing me again because I can’t afford to pay you the heavy fees requested.
This is the tale of an average SME In Nigeria trying to promote its business via social media working on a very tight budget.It is a well known fact that social media marketing is one of the most cost effective ways for businesses to promote their product and service, it is also a known fact that basic communication skill is what you need to be successful with social media marketing.
Statistics show that professional graphic designs, visually engaging and well branded content/posts gets more results for organization in social media in terms of brand awareness, sales and patronage more than ordinary text or poorly put together designs, hence the notion that it is better for a business not to post at all than post a design that looks sloppy and unorganized, which then presents that brand in a bad light, giving the impression of a brand that doesn’t care about details.NO ONE WANTS TO PATRONISE AN ORGANISATION THAT DOESN’T PUT EXCELLENCE INTO THEIR BUSINESS.WITH THE LEVEL OF COMPETITION ONLINE,YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO BE UNORGANISED AS THE “ORGANISED COMPETITION” WILL STEAL YOUR CUSTOMERS AND TAKE ALL YOUR OPPORTUNITIES.
That said, the excuse used by most SME’s is cost, a very good designer will charge the list 5,000 Naira per design and you need atleast one design per day (you must post/engage daily),that’s 30 designs in a month, totaling about 150,000 Naira monthly,very few SME’s can afford such costs as fewer even make margins above 100,000 monthly.

Speaking to the CO-Founder of social media creatives, Sobowale Temiloluwa he says “ the recession hit very hard on businesses and budgets for value adding activities like branding and designs was reduced or in some small businesses removed. The gap created was too much and available graphic designers cannot go round for the price the SME are willing to offer,The resultant effect is that many small businesses had to manage their resources there by not paying much attention to their brand online. This In effect reduced their brand visibility and in-turn patronage reduced
This reduced the cash flow of many business making it difficult to survive.
