MY STORY

Hello! 

Thank you for visiting Rycar Media.

My journey into web design and digital marketing has been anything but standard. After graduating from The University at Buffalo with my MBA, I started a nutritional supplement company called Body Shop Nutrition. 

I worked with designers to create the packaging, food scientists to formulate the products, and a local web company to build a eCommerce site. As things came together, I was incredibly excited… I was a business owner! 

For a few months, I spent my time building a following on Facebook and Instagram, sponsoring events, and hitting the road to visit supplement stores… but the come like I expected. 

So, I admitted that I needed help advertising online. It was going to be the most cost effective route to reach people… but I had no idea what I was doing, so I reached out to a few local online advertising agencies. I was given quite a few options. Everything sounded great! Targeted Facebook ads, fully managed Google PPC campaigns… i was ready to go!

Until I saw the price… 

$1,500 per month?! Wait, what? 

That was a lot of money for my business when it was just getting started. For that investment, I was guaranteed 350 clicks to my site. Some quick math showed be that I would need to convert nearly every single one of those clicks. I though my site was good… but not that good, no store is that good.
