Deciding whether you should hire
in-house marketers or outsource to a marketing agency is a matter of maximizing
the potential of your business' scalable revenue growth. Many companies make
the mistake of focusing their entire budget on in-house teams that could get
nowhere as close as the quality of work marketing automation agencies offer.
Because expertise takes time and experience to earn, you may end up way behind
your competitors if you insist on keeping online marketing in-house. Keeping an
experienced expert in your payroll may also cost more than hiring a team of
experts on an as-needed basis. Here are some other reasons why you should consider hiring
a marketing automation agency for your business:
- You benefit from their marketing experience and so much more. Outsourcing some of your marketing activities allows you immediate access to marketing talent, cutting edge strategies, advanced marketing technologies, and perhaps most importantly, shared experiences that you can use to ensure maximization of benefits. Marketing automation experts enable a seamless synchronization of end-to-end consumer experiences that takes on each stage of the purchase cycle with timely, agile, and relevant marketing messages and campaigns.
- Efficient cost management is also possible because, by comparison, agencies don't require full-time salary benefits of their clients. They also don't require large overheads, thus keeping your costs down to manageable rates. When hiring a marketing agency, you get wide-ranging strategic and technological skills at a fraction of the cost you would spend on an in-house, payroll team.
- Another important benefit of hiring an agency is access to state-of-the-art technology. Marketing automation companies offer an assortment of incomparable marketing tools and technologies you will have to pay huge overheads for. They have access to thousands of marketing technologies and know which to use for your particular requirements. While free marketing automation tools abound, they may not be as efficient as what agencies recommend.
- Also importantly, outsourcing marketing automation frees up your employee's hands for more productive things to do that are within their expertise.
