Testimonials
Hear What Our Clients Have to Say
Within four months, our listings are up 48%, our sales are up 48%. That's actual numbers, and I just got to say we're very grateful for Mountain Area Marketing. And really, it's really changed everything.
Joey Reid
After getting Penny and his team at Mountain Area Marketing involved, it really changed the game. I've now seen my website pop up on the first page of Google. We have hundreds, if not thousands of visitors a month, and have generated multiple leads just from folks that have found us on Google. So they've done amazing work for us, and we couldn't be more appreciative.
James Lyons
Penny Ray was not only professional but his creativity enabled us to reach audiences we hadn’t even realized were out there. I will definitely be using his company again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered Clearly
What makes your CRM different from other platforms?
Our CRM is an all-in-one business system designed to replace multiple tools. It includes lead management, automated follow-ups, invoicing, scheduling, a business phone system, and more—all in one dashboard.
Why do I need to book a call for certain services?
Some of our services require customization based on your business needs. We also have exclusivity agreements in certain markets, so we need to ensure availability before working with you.
Can I use the CRM for any type of business?
Yes! While we specialize in helping real estate agents and local businesses, our CRM is fully customizable for any industry. Whether you run a service business, coaching program, or e-commerce store, we can tailor it to fit your needs.
Do you work with businesses outside of your area?
We are based in Cherokee County, North Carolina, and the prices listed for our ad services apply to businesses within a 30-mile radius. If you're beyond 30 miles, book a call for a custom quote based on travel requirements. Our CRM isn’t limited by location—whether you're in our local area or across the country, you can automate your business, manage leads, and streamline operations from anywhere.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use the CRM?
Nope! Our CRM is built to be simple and intuitive, even for non-techy business owners. Plus, we provide a done-for-you setup and then train you on how to use every feature.
What happens if I need help setting it up?
We provide a setup service ($150 one-time) where we configure your CRM for you. This includes workflows, automation, and integrations to get you up and running fast.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your CRM subscription anytime—no contracts, no commitments.
Why do funny ads work better than traditional marketing?
Because people remember what makes them laugh! Traditional ads are easy to ignore, but humor grabs attention, builds emotional connections, and makes your brand unforgettable.
Can I request specific ideas or concepts for my video?
Absolutely! We work with you to develop ideas that align with your brand. If you’re not sure what you want, we’ll create a concept that fits your business.
Are there long-term contracts?
Nope! All of our services, including CRM and Reels packages, are month-to-month with no long-term commitments.
Do I have to be in the funny ad, or can you create one without me?
No, you don’t have to be on camera! We can create an ad using actors, animation, voiceovers, or creative visuals that match your brand’s personality.
How does the Reels package work?
We visit your business once or twice per month, film engaging content, edit it into high-quality reels, and post them for you—so you always have fresh social media content.
How long does it take to receive my finished ad?
Most ads are delivered within 2-3 weeks after filming, depending on complexity.
Do you offer one-time social media management or video services?
We offer a Reels-Only Package for businesses that don’t need our CRM, but due to exclusivity agreements, you’ll need to book a call to check availability. We also take on one-time video projects, depending on complexity (no weddings). If you have a project in mind, contact us or book a call for a custom quote.
