In a lot of ways when people hire us, it’s a little bit like hiring a general contractor for building a house. We come in and have various people in our company that work with each client to help build out your digital presence rather than having a company either do it themselves or manage many vendors. Like a general contractor, it’s our job to have that expertise on staff from designers to SEO to programmers, so you simply need to tell us what to build. Some companies do prefer the go it alone or multi vendor approach and we look at five reasons to hire a marketing company.

5 Reasons to Hire a Marketing Company

• Experience, experience, experience – We know how to build up a digital presence post by post and keyword by keyword. This has come from years of experience doing this day in and day out, so rather than people reading “SEO for dummies”, it’s actually easier to just hire a digital company to help you get found on the Internet.
• We are cheaper than an employee and way cheaper than employees – Our rates start at $2,000 a month. So if you can find a digital marketing expert for less than $24,000, please let us know so we can hire them! Seriously, it saves companies a lot of money to outsource their marketing to us.
• Good Marketing is a mixture of art and science – There is no systematic, one-size fits all marketing solution for everyone. A reputable marketing business asks what you sell, and who you sell it to. Then, they can create a custom marketing plan. Every client is different, and some tactics work well across clients, but not all. Having a well executed plan can create a lot of revenue.
• I can’t draw so I hired a designer – Rather than having to go out and get a professional designer, we keep one on staff so they can do all design on everything from coupon and logo design to website design
• It helps to have an outsider – Most people feel very passionate about their business. Consider allowing an outsider to offer their ideas while getting the word out. This can be extremely valuable.

So to conclude, it’s always a good idea to ensure you use outside companies for accounting, marketing and website support. This way, you can do what you do best: concentrate on making your business great.
