For many businesses in Yaoundé, the first contact with a customer is a post on Facebook or Instagram, or a visual forwarded on WhatsApp. Keeping that page active every week takes time most owners do not have. Here is what it costs to hand it over, and what you should get for the money.
The short answer
At Mersil Designs, social media management starts at 75,000 FCFA a month. That is a starting price: after a short questionnaire, I propose a plan and an exact price for your page.
| Offer | From | What a plan can include |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly social media management | 75,000 FCFA / month | A content strategy and calendar, the design of your posts and carousels, reels and video editing, scheduling and publishing, and the follow-up of your community |
What changes the price
- The number of networks to manage: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn…
- How often you post each week.
- The type of content: still visuals, carousels, videos or motion design.
- Your visual identity: whether there is one to follow, or it needs to be set up first.
- Community follow-up: the time spent replying to comments and messages.
- Languages: posting in French and English takes more work.
I explain why one person handling both your visuals and your pages saves time and money in Graphic Designer and Community Manager in Cameroon.
What a good post does for a Yaoundé business
A post has a few seconds to say what you offer, where you are, what it costs and how to reach you. For Le Jacana, a restaurant lounge on Avenue Foé, the weekly specials put a big photo of the dish, the offer and the price in a block you can read at a glance, with the address and phone number always in the same place. For the Social Network Workshop in Bastos, every visual carried the price and the mobile-money payment, so the posts sold the seats.
How to choose a community manager
- Look at real pages they manage, not only single visuals.
- Check that the posts share one recognisable style.
- Ask who writes the texts, and in which languages.
- Ask for a content calendar before the month starts.
- Make sure publishing and replies are part of the plan, not only design.
How it works
- Questionnaire: your business, your customers and your goals.
- Content calendar: built around your offers, events and key dates.
- Design and validation: you review the posts before they go out.
- Publishing and follow-up: posts go out on schedule and your community is followed up.
