Successful marketing is key to your business's future, yet it is one of the most overlooked tasks! Companies usually decide they need outsourcing because they don’t have the time or the expertise to get it all done themselves, and that’s perfectly normal.
So, if you’re in the same position, you need to seek marketing support from someone with the time, expertise, and capability to get it done right. But hiring a pretty-picture agency and running a marketing campaign is expensive! So here's how you can get one that costs less than an intern.
Consider this: if you want to build your digital marketing team internally and avoid outsourcing, you’ll need to find people with expertise in web development, graphic design, social media, branding, multimedia, SEO, and others. And, believe us, no one can do it all! (If you have a do-it-all person, let me know so I can hire them). You’ll need to find several employees with different skills and take care of them, their office space, benefits, vacation, sick leave, mood swings, and more.
Now, if you solicit outsourced marketing support, you can put all of your needs into the hands of one agency without having to manage the responsibilities and costs of an internal and salaried team. In the increasingly fast-paced and demanding digital sphere, more companies seek outsourced marketing support. Believe it or not, outsourced marketing support has never been more affordable. Remember, you are only paying for the resources you need. Need design help? Great! Use those resources. Have a great SEO setup already? Then outsource web development! These arrangements pay you on-demand for activity instead of when there is no demand. A salaried developer gets paid whether you have worked for them or not. An outsourced arrangement means you pay an agency each month and only leverage the resources you need when you need them. Why buy an elephant when you can go to the zoo and see it there?
The biggest benefits of outsourcing are time and money. You’ll save a ton of time, ultimately giving you more freedom. You’ll save a ton of money as well. Plus, most outsourcing contracts come with enforceable non-competes and service-level agreements that guarantee response times at certain levels. It is much easier to enforce a company-to-company non-compete than a company-employee non-compete. People have to work, after all!
So, if you decide to outsource your marketing task, for example, you would get an army of outsourced marketing that costs less than an intern and with levels of expertise that will easily exceed any intern’s skills and for whatever time you need them on.
Another great thing about outsourcing is how easy it is with technology nowadays! Setting up a Skype interview in that free 15-minute meeting is a great way to get to know your team better and ensure they have what it takes to be part of your business!
