Social Media analysis price range

Hey guys,
I hope I posted this in the right thread, or at least in a thread that won't infuriate the mods.


The company I work for wants to build some white hat social media signals. We are a home improvement company (we only do window and door replacements, really), and a simple search for our competitors shows that nobody in this bloody industry bothers to do social media. There aren't too many window replacement groups or facebook and pinterest .


Anyways, we've been working with an internet marketing company and decided to ask them for a quote. So, here is what they came up with:


In order to move any further , we have to do deep analysis first - $950+tax .


After analysis stage we have 2 options:

1st option:
6 months campaign, first 3 months - $1950/month, 4-6 months - $950/month.


2nd option:
In case you are capable of doing monthly routines by yourself, we can offer:

Strategy $3450 one-time payment


Design of profiles $950 one-time payment.


Now, we are not a fortune 1000 company. We have only just started to spread our wings - going to different cities and provinces (yes, that's right, we call them provinces in Canada!).


Bottom line is, I think their pricing is a rip off and I'd like to hear what some of the OGs around here think. Also, if you have a competitive pricing for a similar "deep analysis", please do share it.

Thanks,

Look for another company. $950 for an analysis? Dang, I give the analysis free.

I do think it's high but it depends on what they are providing, really. If you're just starting out in social-media marketing it could be well worth it as they could save you a lot of time sifting through various methods that don't work. Of course, that assumes that they know what they're doing. I don't give initial analysis for free but I don't charge anywhere near that amount either.
