Let's be frank about our services

We're not hot dogging it here: If a picture is worth a thousand words, many pictures capture your event the way only we can

Eye-catching images

Contact us with your photography needs and we’ll develop a price for head shots, event photography, group photos or product-related photography. For extensive shoots, our hourly rate minimum charge is $150 per hour for one hour of work; but the rate scale is sliding depending on how much more or less work is needed. We will transfer all photo rights to you and even deliver thumb drives or CDs of finished photography work for an additional fee.

Illuminating communications solutions

Press
releases

Give us the information, and we'll do the writing.
With all information provided by you,

for $50, you’ll receive

an attention-getting,

proofread, ghost-written

press release (with unlimited pre-publication revisions)

after five business days.

Content Creation

Start the process with an email or fill out a request via email and 608 Beacon Enterprises LLC will develop an hourly rate based on the number of hours and the amount of copy required.

We’ll ask the right questions (including your desired results) for your website, email content or flyer, then we'll send your content rough drafts within six business days.

Guest expert articles and posts

Showcase your expertise on area web, news and social media sites using original content supplied by you — drafted and edited by 608 Beacon Enterprises LLC and approved by you — featuring unlimited pre-publication revisions for up to $80 each. We can even post your content on one or more desired social media sites, or send it to as many websites as you desire.

Social Media Assistance

Yeah, we know -- social media can be a mystery.

Let us know how we can help your social media efforts by sending us an email including number of social media pages you need help with, whether or not you want us to post content, and we will develop either a flat fee or an hourly rate depending on the amount of work (number of sites and desired content posts, for example).

Short and long-form stories

Compelling, custom-written and customer-focused news articles featuring your business can be written to position your business as an authority, or as a feature story to tell customers about your unique business niche in the local market.

For $80 ($125 for long-form pieces such as magazine, trade publication or other articles more than 1,500 words), 608 Beacon Enterprises LLC will ghost write the article and turn it over to you within five business days (with some exceptions -- up to five revisions at no charge) for you to post wherever you want.

There is an additional fee of $60 per photo and identifying caption for any accompanying photography.

Bylined articles from Chris Mertes are available for $125 per article up to 750 words and long-form articles for $150 or more (depending on length), with the same additional photo/caption fees applicable.

Miscellaneous services

Video interviews, long-form (30 minutes or more) 608 Beacon Enterprise-hosted videos recorded with the Sun Prairie Media Center, Zoom hosting, online forums, complete event photography, photo galleries and short-form video and other services are available at a negotiated hourly rate.
