Why is getting an arms length second opinion so useful to SME marketing?

  • It’s hard to judge your own messaging
  • And difficult to take an external point of view
  • Friends and colleagues will want to be nice
  • Most of us don’t have external advice on tap

As seen in

Your colleagues won’t tell you the truth – they might be too close to things or not want to be 100% frank.

Embrace the power of a second opinion.

As a small business owner, you don’t have the funds for swanky research or some big shot agency.

But you’ve got an exciting new marketing idea. You think. But how do you make sure? Get it sensechecked, of course!

Our users love SenseCheck

Jamie

SenseCheck was incredibly efficient and thorough with their report on our website, and has really made me rethink our message. An unexpected but incredibly worthwhile exercise, thank you SenseCheck.

Rafael Joao

The reviews of our website were extremely helpful and gave me a clear path on what to do next. Thank you SenseCheck!

Johnathon Martin
Happiness Coach at Happier.London

Received super constructive feedback on our launch website. Every recommendation was valid & accepted & made an immediate improvement the site. For sure we'll use the service again.

Steve Joyce
Founder, AI Marketing Centre

I required an unbiased second opinion on a piece of marketing copy, and SenseCheck provided that promptly, offering valuable feedback. This motivated me to implement the necessary amendments to the copy. Excellent service!

Martin Delany
Founder, BuzzHubs

With a restricted marketing budget due to high development costs, Sense Check looked like a great way of getting a second opinion from people with no understanding of our software. The mix of feedback we got was fantastic and allowed us to re-focus on the areas that would resonate with potential clients. I've not seen any other way to get that quality of feedback at such a low cost.

Daniel Ricardo
Director, Strategy Plus

As a Digital Agency, we always want to provide our clients with the very best, and to ensure we do, we double-check our work with Marketing peers via SenseCheck. This provides real confidence to our clients that our messaging, creatives and websites really hit the mark. SenseCheck is easy to use and great value!

Phil Isherwood
Marketing Strategist • Digital Marketing Consultant

It's a pleasure to be part of the SenseCheck community, as I know how important a second pair of eyes can be when it comes to your marketing - marketing your business is crucial, so getting the right message across is essential. Using SenseCheck streamlines the process, and gives businesses peace of mind that their marketing campaigns and ideas will bring results.

Fractional CMO, Marketing Spark

When working with a client to develop a new logo, our agency proposed an interesting design. I didn't like it. To get a second opinion, I used SenseCheck. I quickly received feedback that confirmed my concerns. I was able to quickly convince the client that a refreshed version of the existing logo was a better option.

Peter Bishop
Founder and CEO, Websites.fm

I received my Sense Check and it struck a few nerves, which was great as it leads to my improvement. Important questions were asked by Sense Check professionals. It helps to receive non-biased feedback in marketing.

Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees and it's so hard to 'forget' everything that Joe Public doesn't know about your brand already. 5 pairs of eyes that have been there, seen it and made money from it really adds confidence before you press publish.

Khristian Serrano

I received feedback on my collateral and I am delighted with the insights. Really gave me food for thought and I’ll be back for more. I’ve left some feedback and given 5 stars. I’ll be using your service again!

Anthony Devine
Managing Director at Finfo

I found the review process pretty seamless and the tool really straightforward and easy to use. It's interesting to comment on others' ideas and I think Sensecheck meets a latent need for small businesses to get honest feedback.

Justyne Smagacz
Head of Customer Experience, Fresha

Incredibly powerful and insightful.

Robert Stell

I found it really annoying…I prickled at the comments. But……… that prickling led to thinking which led to action. So was it useful?? Damn right it was useful…would I use it again..yes, depending on the cost but yes, absolutely.

Swati Deshpande

It was nice to be able to get some unbiased opinions from talented peers. Each person sent our campaign offered constructive opinions / changes and the final campaign is so much better for it. The whole process was really simple and the turnaround on feedback was quite quick – It certainly is a service I would recommend.
