What's Included in a SGD 3,900 Social Media Package? A Month With Start Media
Updated: 4 days ago
Short answer: Start Media's SGD 3,900 monthly package gives a Singapore business a full social media team. Each month you get 10 short videos posted to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Xiaohongshu and WeChat, campaigns with 10+ local influencers (1,000+ followers each), 3 poster designs, paid ads management (ad spend billed separately) and festive campaign planning. The minimum contract is 6 months.

What a Typical Month Looks Like
Week 1 – Plan. We review last month's results and agree the content plan: which dishes, products or promotions to feature, which festive dates are coming, and which influencers to invite.
Week 2 – Film. Our team spends one filming day a month at your outlet and films all 10 videos in that day, so your business is only disrupted once a month.
Week 2–3 – Edit and approve. We edit each video for each platform: English captions for TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, and native Chinese versions for Xiaohongshu and WeChat. You approve everything before it goes live.
Week 2–4 – Post and promote. Videos go out across 5 platforms, about 2–3 per week. Influencers visit and post. We run and adjust your paid ads.
End of month – Report. You get views, followers, engagement and ad results, plus next month's plan.
Why 5 Platforms Instead of 1?
Different customers use different apps. In Singapore, 90.6% of the population uses social media, and people use an average of 7.4 platforms a month (We Are Social, Digital 2026). TikTok users spend about 1 hour 39 minutes a day on the app, while Facebook still drives around half of all social referrals. Chinese-speaking customers often search Xiaohongshu and use WeChat. Posting the same video, adapted for each app, reaches all of them without filming five times.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there a 6-month minimum?
Social media growth builds over time. Most clients see more views and enquiries within 2–3 months, and 6 months gives enough time to build on that.
Do I need to be at the filming day?
Only to give us access and approve the menu or products to feature. Our team handles the rest.
Can I choose fewer platforms?
Yes. Single-platform management costs SGD 1,600–2,500 per month for 6–10 posts. If you need two or more platforms, the full package is usually better value. See single-platform management
