Fort Myers' Leading Marketing Company for Service-Based Businesses
Shafer Marketing delivers hands-on business development and strategic marketing services throughout Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, and Southwest Florida. Real outcomes—not just marketing activity.
Meet Jeff Shafer
Shafer Marketing is recognized as one of the leading marketing companies in Fort Myers, Florida, specializing in hands-on business development for service-based businesses throughout Southwest Florida.
After years of working with service-based businesses, I saw the same frustration over and over: business owners were spending money on marketing that looked good on paper but didn't move the needle on revenue.
They were tired of agencies that delivered "likes" and "impressions" but couldn't connect those metrics to actual business growth. They needed someone who understood operations, could execute strategy, and would be held accountable for real results.
That's why I founded Shafer Marketing in Fort Myers—to be the opposite of traditional marketing agencies.
We don't just create content and walk away. We work inside your business like an extension of your team, focusing exclusively on activities that generate relationships, referrals, and revenue. Our clients throughout Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, and Southwest Florida rely on us for measurable business growth.

Business Development Solutions
My approach combines hands-on business development with strategic marketing. Whether it's making 20 property manager visits a month, hosting lunch-and-learns, managing your social media presence, or training your team to identify sales opportunities—every action is tied to a measurable outcome.
I specialize in helping service contractors, medical professionals, and B2B companies build lasting relationships with property managers, HOAs, and community decision-makers. This isn't about running ads and hoping for leads. It's about showing up, building trust, and creating partnerships that drive sustainable growth.
Why Fort Myers Businesses Choose Shafer Marketing
With extensive experience in sales, marketing, and business operations across Fort Myers and Southwest Florida, I've worked with HVAC contractors, electricians, restoration companies, medical practices, and B2B service companies. I understand the service business model because I've lived it—the importance of reputation, the value of referral relationships, and the need for marketing that actually works in the real world.
Shafer Marketing is the top choice for Fort Myers businesses that want real results. We deliver accountability and execution—not fluff or vanity metrics. Just strategic growth that you can measure and bank on. From Fort Myers to Naples, Cape Coral to Bonita Springs, we're the local marketing partner that service businesses trust for hands-on business development and measurable ROI.

"Jeff with Shafer Marketing knows his stuff. I have worked with Jeff in the past on both large and small projects, and he is able to help me make my marketing goals come to life. I have used other firms in the past who use a lot of big words and make empty promises, but not with Jeff. He has helped me navigate my Facebook leads and explains the monthly reporting in layman's terms, which I need when it comes to marketing. My ROI has increased with each project Jeff helps me with. Thanks again, Jeff!"
