Are you a home builder looking for a marketing team who can make the most of your busy season? You’re not alone. This is the time of year most builders reach out to us. Custom homes are a long, high-trust sale. Buyers want to see your work, get a feel for how you build, and trust you before they ever pick up the phone. At The Mina Company, we help custom home builders and service-based contractors turn thoughtful design, quality work, and local reputation into a powerful marketing presence. That’s what’s behind these numbers. SEO that keeps builders on page one month after month. Websites and ads that turn searches into real inquiries. Social that shows off the craftsmanship before the first call. We do this for residential and commercial builders, here in Colorado and across the country. And we only partner with one builder per area. You’ll never share a strategy with the competitor across town. Ready to see what this could look like for your business? DM us or visit theminacompany.com #TheMinaCompany #HomeBuilderMarketing #CustomHomeBuilder #ConstructionMarketing #SEOforBuilders #BuilderMarketing #ContractorMarketing #NoCoSmallBusiness #FortCollinsMarketing #NorthernColorado

Some seasons, the smartest spend is less. We've tested the alternative across every industry we work in. More ads, more SEO, more effort poured into the slow months. The season stayed slow anyway. Demand has its own rhythm, and no budget is big enough to argue with it. So we don't ask our clients to keep pouring money into a season that won't pay it back. We'd rather protect your budget for the stretches where it actually moves the needle, and ease off when it doesn't. Some of our clients pause entirely when things are quiet, and we pick right back up when their busy season returns. Your marketing should work with your calendar, not against it. Want a partner who'll tell you when to spend less? DM us or visit theminacompany.com

Ep. 7 is out now: Creating the Vision & Mission 🧭 In the hallway between Erica’s bedroom and her daughters’ rooms hangs Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” quote, rewritten for women. The credit belongs to the woman in the arena, the one who dares greatly. It’s become the quote her whole life runs on, and it’s what pushed her to take a hard look at The Mina Company’s vision, mission, and purpose for the first time in years. In this episode, Erica breaks down the difference between the three, shares the new versions she wrote for Mina (including the line with a little bite: “even when it costs us”), and explains how she turned them into real, day-to-day decisions her team makes. She also shares a simple place to start your own: notice what you’re jealous of when you see it out in the wild. Listen here ericavandersande.com/podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts #ConversationsInTheDark #VisionAndMission #BusinessValues #DaringGreatly #WomenInBusiness #FemaleFounder #Entrepreneurship #Motherhood #SmallBusinessPodcast

Most agencies are built to grow the invoice. More services, more add-ons, more reasons to keep you spending. It's just how the model usually works. We wrote our purpose around the opposite instinct: to always act in our clients' best interest, even when it costs us. That line only means something if we live it in the moments where doing right by you and making more money pull in different directions. So that's the standard we hold every decision to. When those two things conflict, you win. Not because it's the easy call, but because it's the one we'd want made if it were our own business on the line. It's a slower way to grow. It's also the only way to build an agency people actually trust.
