How Fullsend is Changing Marketing for Small Businesses

An AI Solution Built on Two Decades of Insights

Great Products Don’t Sell Themselves

After two decades of building products, my co-founder Matt and I found ourselves frustrated by a recurring pattern we experienced firsthand. Some of the most promising ideas we worked on, products with real potential to change the world, struggled to gain traction. We also watched countless innovative solutions and entrepreneurs fail, not because they created bad products or services, but because nobody noticed them. The reason was almost always the same. We, as creators, tend to pour everything into building, but without a clear strategy to communicate value or reach the right audience, those efforts often go unnoticed.

When buying products or services, decisions are rarely based on logic alone. People don’t just look for features, they seek solutions to their problems and a story that inspires them to become better versions of themselves. At the same time, the rise of AI and low-friction technology has lowered the barrier to launching a company. As more founders bring ideas to market, the landscape is becoming increasingly saturated. Marketing and distribution have become the main challenge. Companies that understand this have far greater chances to succeed.

Marketing is More Than Features

Where stories come to life — A magical village grows from the pages of imagination, where every chapter opens a new world.

This realization explained the disconnect we’d been seeing for years. A lot of businesses obsess over building the “perfect” product, hoping that it’ll sell itself. But that’s not how human decisions work. Buyers don’t sit there comparing specs one by one. They’re driven by something deeper, whether it’s solving a problem, feeling good about themselves, or connecting to a bigger picture.

Brands like Apple, Nike, and Tesla nail this. They don’t just sell products; they sell ideas, visions, and even movements.

  • Apple: Sparks individuality and creativity, turning slick design into a piece of personality. Their storytelling helped create a market share of more than 20.1% worldwide by late 2023.
  • Nike: Inspires greatness and sells belief more than shoes. Through messages like “Just Do It,” Nike connects people to the idea of perseverance and self-worth, creating $51 billion in 2023 revenue.
  • Canva: Puts the power of design into everyone’s hands. By making creativity accessible and collaborative, Canva turns users into creators, fueling a global movement of visual expression. This emotional empowerment helped Canva grow to over 170 million users and a $49 billion valuation.
  • Equipped with the right tools, small businesses too can forge meaningful connections with their customers.

    Everyone Has This Challenge

    The idea for Fullsend was also reinforced by my experience at home. My wife Jen works in marketing for a boutique luxury property management business, and I’ve seen her spend endless hours chasing fresh content ideas, juggling multiple platforms, and keeping everything consistent. Frankly, it was exhausting to watch.

    And she’s far from alone. So many small business owners face the same struggle. Between limited time, tight budgets, and trying to do it all themselves, marketing can feel overwhelming. Often, this means poor marketing, or even no marketing at all. 

    That’s why we created Fullsend to make content marketing easier, faster, and more fun.

    Marketing Struggles Small Businesses Face Every Day

    Not Enough Resources

    Time and money are often tight for small businesses, making effective marketing a daunting task. ​A 2024 report by Constant Contact revealed that many small business owners are overwhelmed by marketing tasks, with 73% lacking confidence that their current strategies contribute to their business goals. The report also noted that 56% of small business owners devote an hour or less per day to marketing activities. This solo approach often results in burnout, inconsistent campaigns, and missed opportunities to connect with audiences. Without access to dedicated marketing teams or tools, small businesses frequently struggle to compete with larger organizations that have the advantage of specialized resources.  

    The Never-Ending Need for Fresh Ideas

    The online landscape evolves at lightning speed, leaving small business owners scrambling to keep up. From social media to email campaigns, blogs, and video content, the pressure to produce engaging and relevant material is relentless. A 2024 report from Hubspot indicates that among the biggest challenges for social media marketers are creating engaging content, finding new content ideas, and keeping up with feature and algorithm updates. Many lack the skills or time to explore new trends, like short-form videos or influencer collaborations, which can leave them feeling stuck in outdated tactics.  

    Small Business Owners Are Just Too Busy

    One key issue is prioritization. Many small business owners are so focused on daily operations that marketing becomes an afterthought. This reactive rather than proactive approach often results in rushed, poorly planned campaigns. Additionally, the complexity of digital marketing—ranging from SEO and analytics to paid advertising—can feel overwhelming without proper training or support. Limited budgets also play a significant role. With funds stretched thin, small businesses often hesitate to invest in tools, platforms, or expert help, which could make their efforts more effective. Finally, the lack of a cohesive strategy means many small businesses fail to measure results or adapt to what works, leaving them spinning their wheels without making meaningful progress.

    A Few Numbers That Stand Out

    Based on the same report from Constant Contact:

    • 52% of Small Business Owners (SMBs) report regularly delaying or postponing their marketing
    • 73% of SMBs and operators express a lack of confidence in the effectiveness of their marketing strategy. 
    • For 60% of SMBs, customer acquisition is by far their top marketing challenge.
