Face to Face and Online training is available during evening and weekends at mutually convenient times
STOMP can offer a Social Media Support Retainer for business owners over an initial 3 month period. As this is an agreed fixed contract of a basic 4 hours per month, payment will be expected at the beginning of the month or pro rata
All Content planning strategies will be agreed with the client and a time frame put in place with a clear end point.

Account Management & Ads Management - I can longer accept new clients!

Important: Account Management is only made possible if the client allows preparation time and onboarding. The client needs to allow for several weeks of discussion on a regular basis whilst I learn and understand how the client speaks, how they want their content presented and how to respond to any questions or queries there are on their social media pages.
Any Ad campaigns or accounts being managed for a client will run until the last day of the month.
Account management must be paid a month in advance (or pro-rata) and by no later than the first working day of the month.
All Ads being created by STOMP for the Client will be paid directly by the Client (as an Ad Account Manager).
Some services provided by STOMP have been arranged with local partners who provide a preferred rate, namely Press Releases, Website Design and Management and Logo Creation

The hourly fee for training is inclusive of mileage in Co Westmeath. If travelling outside of Co Westmeath, mileage will be added.

Information supplied to the client under the terms of the contract is for the use of the client company only and is not to be divulged to any other organisation, without prior authorisation from STOMP Social Media Training.

I do support events and become a team member.
I train and manage Adults and Business Owners.
