Why US

Hello, My name is Tom Dykie Jr. and let me first say thank you for visiting SixTen Social. Just like you, I’m a small business owner and in my case this includes a wood refinishing business established in 2007 and a carpet cleaning business that’s just about three years old. Also like you, I spend countless hours trying to figure out how to make the phone ring and more recently, not just how to make it ring, but how to better let the world (my neighborhood) know who we are and how we can better serve them.

Like so many corporations, small to mid size business, charities and political organizations, I discovered that SM (Social Media) was the avenue to pursue. When I started our newest venture, Fresh N Green Carpet Cleaning, I began doing light graphic work to post on social media platforms. It turned out that I really enjoyed doing this, however, there is most definitely a learning curve. Like many of you have probably done – and continue to do - I would conceive most of my social media work spur-of-the-moment. No schedule, no plan – no idea. Most of my SM postings were conceived late at night in my basement office consisting of some before and after pictures, pricing and some text pleading for somebody, anybody to call. I look back and laugh now, but I really did seem to be at a loss for concept, design and message – it was a mess! Over time I’ve refined this process. The videos have been honed, the content polished and the message made loud and clear – “We are here to serve you!” The content created isn’t simply a coupon or played out cliché (“You’ve tried the rest, now try the best!”). It’s a message about us. It’s who we are and how we can help the consumer. Consumers can find any number of businesses that’ll take their money – but it’s not so easy to find a business that is service centric.

My goal is to engage the public with content that appeals to their everyday needs and what they might find to be fun and friendly. This includes simple maintenance tips and tricks that will keep their floors looking clean and healthy, creative holiday reminders, engaging videos and more. In this day and age, people live on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. With today’s consumer it takes more than just selling – you need to engage and educate. This is where Six10 Social can help. I’ve developed a book of turnkey content that includes fully customized video, graphics, and service driven text. Our content will mirror both the look of your business and its vision. The best part is what I mentioned way back in the very first paragraph – I’m a small business owner just like you. SixTen Social doesn’t have a staff of designers, writers or editors and certainly no capital venture investors or the big price tag that comes with all of it. SixTen Social is just a guy with a family that works downstairs in his basement office every night. What this means is that I can deliver a body of achieved content along with consistent, fresh new updates at a fraction of the cost. If you have any questions at all, or if I can help you in anyway please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for the consideration and especially for taking the time visit my site.
