Pricing, without the runaround
The sticker price is not the number that matters in Chattogram
Here is the trap that catches most Chattogram business owners. They collect three monthly quotes - 15,000 from a boy off GEC, 30,000 from a small shop near Agrabad, a quiet six-figure number from a Dhaka agency - line them up, and pick the cheapest. The problem is that none of those numbers means the same thing. One is pure post-boosting. One is a junior posting twelve times a month with no tracking. One is a real team with a margin on every seat.
Comparing them by the headline figure is like comparing a Patenga fishing boat to a port container ship because both float. So before I tell you the digital marketing price in Chattogram, I tell you what actually sits under each price - because that is the only honest way to compare.
The first thing I separate is the two numbers everyone mashes together. There is the management fee - what I charge to run your account every week. And there is the ad budget - what Google and Meta take to actually put you in front of someone. A Chattogram owner hears "50,000 package" and assumes it covers both. It does not, not anywhere honest.
My fee is my fee, and your ad budget goes straight to the platform from your own card or bKash Merchant - I never mark it up, never take a commission off it, and you can open Ads Manager any day and see exactly where every taka landed. Anyone who blurs those two lines is either inexperienced or hoping you will not check.
The second thing is which channels you actually need, because that is where the real money decision lives. A retail brand selling to walk-in customers across GEC, Chawkbazar and the New Market end runs Meta-heavy - Reels, carousels, a fast page that loads before a thumb taps back.
A B2B importer, a freight forwarder, or a CDA Avenue supplier lives on Google Search, catching the exact product or HS-code-level trade someone is hunting for - fewer clicks, pricier per click, but one enquiry can be worth a whole month of retail traffic. A garments buying house chasing overseas buyers is a different game again. The 50,000 BDT floor is one channel done properly. 90,000 BDT is two channels plus monthly creative.
1,50,000 BDT is the full stack with SEO so you stop renting every single click. I will tell you which one fits on the first call, not after you have paid.
And there is no junior on your account, no account manager forwarding your emails to someone you will never meet. That is the actual reason this digital marketing price in Chattogram undercuts a Dhaka agency for comparable senior work - you are paying for one experienced person's hours, around five years of doing exactly this, not a tower full of desks each adding margin. It is also why the floor is 50,000 BDT and not 8,000.
Below that line nobody is doing real campaign work; you are renting a boost button. If your runway is genuinely under that, I will say so plainly and point you toward a one-off setup you can self-manage instead of selling you a retainer that cannot deliver.
