  • Every project is unique, and timelines depend on the scope and complexity of the work. Some projects wrap up in just a few days, while others take weeks to ensure every detail is just right.

    Here’s a general guide:

    ✨ Quick Projects – Small design tasks like social media graphics or print materials are typically ready within 3-7 business days.

The Basics

  • Small businesses and nonprofits are the heart of a thriving community. Many provide essential services—offering mental health support, harm reduction programs, food assistance, education, and advocacy. Others bring joy and enrichment through art, wellness, and creative expression. These businesses and organizations make a real difference, yet many struggle to reach the people who need them most because they don’t have access to professional marketing and design.

    We believe that a rising tide lifts all ships. When small businesses and nonprofits succeed, entire communities grow stronger. Our goal isn’t to sell marketing—it’s to help amplify voices, extend reach, and connect businesses with the people who need them.

    As a progressive, community-driven business, we stand against bigotry, discrimination, and exclusion in all forms. We work with those who share values of equity, inclusion, accessibility, and sustainability.

    We don’t chase profit. We chase change. Because, as Helen Keller said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." Real impact happens when we uplift one another, invest in our communities, and choose purpose over profit. When small business

  • Choosing the right services depends on your business goals, budget, and current brand needs. Whether you're starting from scratch, rebranding, or looking for ongoing marketing support, Solstice Marketing offers flexible options to fit your unique situation.

    ✨ Need a one-time project? Individual services are perfect for businesses that need a single design or marketing asset without a long-term commitment.

    ✨ Looking for a complete brand identity? Branding & identity services provide logos, color palettes, typography, and brand guidelines to create a cohesive visual identity.

    ✨ Want ongoing marketing support? Consulting and brand management services offer strategy, content planning, and design assistance to keep your business growing.

    ✨ Not sure what you need? Schedule a free consultation! We’ll discuss your business, goals, and challenges to create a customized plan that works for you.

  • Marketing is a long-term process, much like gardening—you plant the seeds, nurture them over time, and gradually see growth. Some efforts will sprout quickly, while others take longer to develop. The key is to look at overall progress rather than expecting instant results.

    Just like weather patterns affect plant growth, marketing results will fluctuate. Some months may bring rapid engagement and sales, while others are slower. This is normal! What matters most is steady, long-term improvement.

  • ✨ More Engagement – If people are liking, commenting, and sharing your social media posts, your content is resonating. Some posts may perform better than others, but consistent growth is a good sign.

    ✨ Higher Website Traffic – If more people are visiting your website over time, your marketing is successfully attracting new potential customers.

    ✨ More Inquiries & Sales – If you’re getting more calls, emails, bookings, or purchases, your marketing is turning awareness into action. Keep in mind that customers often need multiple interactions with your brand before making a decision.

    ✨ Increased Brand Recognition – If people start to recognize your business name, logo, or messaging, your brand is becoming more memorable.

    ✨ Returning Customers & Referrals – If people come back or recommend your business to others, your marketing is helping build trust and loyalty.

    Marketing, like gardening, requires patience and consistency. Growth won’t always be linear, and there will be seasons of change. By focusing on long-term progress instead of short-term fluctuations, you’ll start to see real, lasting results.

1 Our interest-free payment plans mean you won’t pay extra on payment installments if all payments are made on time. However, late payments, contract breaches, and other non-interest-related fees may still apply. These details are outlined in your service agreement—contact us with any questions. | 2 Income-based discounts are available to businesses below a certain revenue threshold. Qualification is determined during the consultation and may require proof of revenue. | ³3 Loyalty savings require a minimum three-month service commitment. If services are canceled early, any applied discounts may be revoked, and standard pricing may apply retroactively. | 4 Exclusive discounts for minority-owned and climate-conscious businesses may not be combined with other exclusive discounts but can be applied alongside bundle and package savings. | 5 All payments must be made in full and on time according to agreed-upon terms. Payment plans and discounts do not alter payment deadlines. | 6 Custom bundles may be eligible for additional discounts, including income-based and exclusive savings. Discount eligibility will be determined during your consultation. | 7 Ongoing support refers to continued marketing assistance, which may require an extended service agreement or additional fees. | Project packages include a predefined scope of work. Any additional revisions, services, or modifications outside of the agreed scope may incur additional fees. | 9 Custom bundles allow flexibility in service selection before the project begins. Once services are confirmed and work has started, changes may require additional costs. | 10 Individual services are standalone deliverables and do not include ongoing consultation or strategic support unless specified in the service agreement. | 11 Individual services purchased separately cannot be retroactively converted into a bundle or package for discount purposes. | 12 Special pricing availability is determined on a case-by-case basis during the consultation process and may require qualification based on revenue, business type, or other factors.
