Think your DIY marketing saves money? Think again
We get it. As a small business owner, budgets are tight, and every penny counts. Turning to Canva or doing your own marketing might seem like the perfect solution…but is it really saving you money?
Let’s break it down.
The cost of DIY design
Let’s say you value your time at £12.50 per hour (the current minimum wage). You decide to spend a few evenings creating a flyer or some social media posts. Over the course of a week, you dedicate 8 hours to tweaking designs, choosing fonts, and figuring out layouts.
That’s £100 of your time spent on one task. And while you’re working on designs, you’re not earning…so the real cost is even higher.
But here’s the kicker: If the designs don’t look professional or fail to deliver results, that’s lost revenue on top of wasted time. Customers are less likely to trust a brand with inconsistent or amateur-looking marketing.
What you get with Frankman
At Frankman, we create designs that save you time, look professional, and bring in business. Here’s a quick comparison:

- Quality: Polished, professional, and tailored to your brand
- Potential results: Increased enquiries, stronger customer trust, and more sales
Let’s do the maths
Imagine your new professionally designed flyer brings in a 2% return rate. For example, distributing 500 leaflets could bring in 10 new customers. If each customer spends £150, that’s an extra £1,500 for your business. Not to mention the time you’ve saved to focus on your core business activities.
Now let’s consider if you created and distributed your own leaflets. If the design and marketing message, isn’t quite right and your efforts only bring in 2 customers, that’s just £300 in revenue. When you factor in the time you spent creating them (say 8 hours at £12.50/hour = £100), your real return on effort is minimal. Worse still, the inconsistent design might even hurt your brand reputation. Choosing Frankman ensures your investment works smarter for you.
