OUR PHILOSOPY
CFE Systems does NOT want to be your local ad agency, web developer or marketing consultant. While we can provide these services, we don’t focus on working with just a few clients that will pay us top rates.
Instead, we focus our creative talents and energies into products that can be provided to the vast majority of small local businesses. Many local businesses can not afford the rates typically charged by traditional agencies and consultants.
We firmly believe in the old adage:
“Feed a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach him how to fish, feed him for a lifetime.”
Philosophical Difference
The CFE Difference
CFE Systems specializes in the “Do-It-Together” and “Do-It-Yourself” approach for local businesses. We generally let the traditional agencies handle the clients who can afford the 100% “Done For You” approach.
Our “Do-It-Together” Approach Consists of:
Group Promotions. CFE develops creative marketing promotions for a small group of businesses rather than creating a marketing campaign for just one client. This divides the cost of the promotion among all the participants drastically reducing costs.
Templates. CFE designs and creates marketing templates. Altering these templates is more cost effective than building something from scratch. Many times businesses can alter the templates on their own saving even more money.
Blueprints and Startup Plans. Blueprints contain the essential info and the big picture about each promotion. It helps business owners understand the potential return on their investment of time and/or money. The blueprint also helps the business owner choose what parts they can delegate to internal staff.
Team Training. CFE provides various resources to empower your staff to handle the basic administration of your digital marketing campaigns. This includes video tutorials, weekly coaching sessions and various other resources.

The CFE Advantage
We believe that it can be dangerous to outsource all of your digital marketing needs (even if your business can afford it). Your business has a personality. It’s important your business keeps in control of your unique online identity and reputation.
