At Strategic Marketing Services, we dedicate a lot of time to educating our clients about all aspects of small business marketing, from blogging to email marketing to videos and why it’s important to have a solid mix of marketing efforts in your overall strategy. Even with all this useful information at your fingertips, sometimes it simply makes more sense to leave the marketing to the pros. If you’re considering this big step for your small business, here are some of the benefits of outsourcing your digital marketing.
Digital marketing is a common strategy for today’s most successful small businesses, but few truly understand the complexities of digital marketing and how key components work together for the best results. Combine this with the fact that small business owners simply don’t have the time to commit to learning all there is to know about digital marketing, and it’s easy to see why so many don’t see great success in their efforts. At that point, it’s time to seriously consider outsourcing your digital marketing.
When you first started your business, chances are you did it all: sales, marketing, accounting, operations, etc. As your business grew, you likely engaged a bookkeeper to help with financials, a CPA to help with taxes, and perhaps a salesperson to help you grow the business. Why? Because time and resources are stretched thin as businesses grow and the key to scaling is to focus on what you do well and surround yourself with people who can fill in the gaps you need help with. When it comes to marketing, that might mean hiring someone in-house to do your marketing, but that may not be the best choice. When you try to handle marketing services in-house, sometimes one marketing person is pulled in too many directions. Can one person handle social media, email marketing, content marketing, video marketing, etc. effectively and do so in a timely fashion? That’s a lot for one person to handle!
Most in house marketers do not have time to keep up to date on latest trends in digital and mobile marketing, let alone Google’s constant updates, changing rules for email marketing, etc. Digital marketing experts stay on top of current industry trends and strategies. A great digital marketing professional makes it their business to always be on top of trends and strategies in the industry. Part of their job is to know the latest tactics, platforms, and tools, and use that expertise to bring you the best results. An outsourced marketing professional must improve on its ROI to provide values. When you outsource your marketing, you have less risk of your strategies stagnating or growing stale.
When you outsource your digital marketing, it gives you the time to focus on your core competency and run your business. When you do not have to focus on how to market your small business and or how to best execute an email marketing campaign, you can generate innovative ways to grow your business. Leaving the marketing strategies to the expert allows you to focus on your strategic goals and growth strategies.
Marketing technology is constantly evolving. When you outsource your digital marketing to a professional, you will have the latest update of marketing technology to run your campaigns. If you decide to invest in in-house marketing technology, a marketing expert can help train you, customized to your small business’s needs.
Outsourcing your digital marketing saves time and money, yields better results and provides you the ability to focus on growing your small business. The benefits of outsourcing your digital marketing are numerous. 2020 may be the year to take that next step to grow your business through outsourcing!
