SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. - Marylandian -- Small business owners drowning in marketing tasks finally have a lifeline. Bluumly today launched its public beta, offering the first AI-powered marketing platform designed exclusively for micro and small businesses. After a successful private beta since April, Bluumly is now available to the 32 million small business owners who cite customer acquisition as their top challenge while lacking time, budget, or expertise for effective marketing.

The Small Business Marketing Crisis

Julie, owner of wellness company InBalanceSoul.com, was spending countless hours wrestling with disconnected marketing tools, creating social media posts that fell flat, and struggling to understand performance data—all while her sales stagnated. Her story echoes across America's 32 million micro-businesses, where owners spend 5-10 hours weekly on marketing that often delivers disappointing results.

"Traditional marketing tools assume you have a dedicated team or unlimited time," says Gruenhagen, whose background in AI development and SaaS scaling, combined with precision-focused training as a Naval aviator, drives Bluumly's commitment to accurate, results-driven marketing automation. "HubSpot costs $800+ monthly and requires marketing expertise. Generic AI tools create content but can't execute campaigns. Agencies charge $3,000+ monthly. Small businesses have been abandoned by an industry that should be serving them."

Addressing the Real Competition
Unlike enterprise platforms requiring marketing teams, basic scheduling tools with minimal capabilities, or expensive agencies, Bluumly specifically serves businesses with 1-10 employees who need professional results without professional overhead.

"We're not trying to be everything to everyone," notes Gruenhagen. "We're laser-focused on making marketing effortless for the 32 million businesses generating $1.3 trillion annually who've been ignored by existing solutions."

Available Now with Accessible Pricing
The public beta offers two tiers:

• Essentials: Free forever with basic content creation and single platform publishing
• Pro: $29.99/monthly for multi-platform campaigns, smart scheduling, and advanced features

Both tiers include upcoming analytics to track performance and ROI—capabilities previously reserved for enterprise customers.

The Bigger Vision
"Every small business owner became an entrepreneur to pursue their passion, not to become a marketing expert," says Gruenhagen. "Bluumly lets them focus on what they love while we handle what they need—professional marketing that actually works."
