Shumaker Technology Group Case Study
Introduction
Shumaker Technology Group is a local leader in website design, serving small businesses, municipalities, and nonprofits with high-performing, SEO-driven websites. While their search rankings were strong, their social media presence remained an untapped opportunity.
For years, Shumaker believed that social media wasn’t a viable channel for their business. Posting felt like a low priority, and engagement levels were stagnant. The lack of a structured, sustainable approach made social media feel like more work than it was worth.
That’s when they partnered with Lime Diamond Ventures to implement a DIY (Do It Yourself) social media strategy, providing them with the right tools, coaching, and structure to take control of their digital presence—without the need for outsourcing.
