How did your business come to be?: We started out by doing non-profit and church websites, and word traveled quickly to local small businesses that were also looking for affordable, high-quality website and marketing services. 

What's a fact about your business that most customers probably don't know?: We LOVE what we do and we left our "corporate" jobs years ago to dedicate ourselves to working with and helping small businesses. Our growing staff is made up of highly skilled and experienced professionals including engineers, writers, marketers, social media experts, and business professionals who keep up with the latest technology, techniques, and strategies to ensure outstanding results for our clients each month.

What services does your business provide?: Five Sparrows specializes in custom-designed, purpose-built websites, mobile web marketing, social media, SEO services, and email marketing systems that all work together as one cohesive, automated marketing engine that can include any mix of services. Five Sparrows has successfully helped hundreds of small business clients over the past 13 years and has two Hartland locations to serve you!

What do you want your business to be best known for?: Excellence. We work very hard to incorporate the latest marketing trends, strategies, and technology platforms for our clients, giving them an edge over competitors both large and small.  We offer high-end web and marketing services for a fraction of the cost of larger firms, giving our clients excellent results each month at affordable small business prices.

What's your most popular product or service?: MarketingPLUS is currently our most popular service.  With this service, we take care of everything each month for clients, including social platforms, integrating profiles, creating a monthly Content Pipeline, implementing monthly marketing tasks and posts, updating online content, monitoring progress across channels, and reporting on results.  It's a complete solution for small businesses that don't have the time or staff to keep up with the demands of today's online marketing.

When was the business founded?: December 1999.

Why did you choose to locate to Hartland?: We have lived in Hartland for more than 20 years, and really like the small town atmosphere and convenient location.  We love the area so much that we just opened a new downtown Hartland location in May 2013!
