FunnelKake stands out from other agencies because we are a performance marketing agency, not an hourly services agency. That means we don’t charge you for how much time we work on your account – you’re charged a retainer along with a percentage of the sales we generate for you. We see this as infinitely more fair to the business owner, since we have to be invested in your results or we don’t make money. It’s a partnership for success.
