Outsourcing your Marketing

As a business owner or marketing manager that’s responsible for the bottom line you may be struggling with the question…”To outsource marketing or not?” While outsourcing marketing, or parts of it, to an agency can also be challenging you’ll discover that the benefits far outweigh the risks. It really doesn’t matter whether you own a dental practice or a manufacturing company, finding a marketing firm that understands your brand, your products and/or services, as well as your industry, can really pay off.

Here are six major benefits of outsourcing your marketing:

1. Outsourcing gives you have access to brand experts.

Unless you have the budget and the workload to warrant hiring a team of seasoned marketers this is the most obvious benefit of outsourcing to a marketing agency. Brand agencies, such as Mystique, have people that specialize in specific marketing areas. From strategy to design, content development to SEO, direct marketing to analytics, you need an experienced team to works together to develop integrated campaigns.

2. Outsourcing marketing saves you time.

Running a small business is already time-consuming. Do you really have time to wear another hat? Working with an experienced marketing team lets you focus on your core operations. Outsourcing to brand marketing experts also ensures your marketing campaigns are launched quicker as they already understand the best way to improve your exposure, engage prospects, and generate leads.

4. Outsourcing ensures consistent new content.

With Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation taking full effect on July 1, 2017, content marketing will be more important than ever. As a small business, constantly writing blog posts and posting social media can be a daunting task. With so much on your plate already, and creative not being a core competency, it’s understandable that content development isn’t among your top priorities. But understand that adding current and relevant content to your website is one of the most important factors affecting your search engine ranking. Outsourcing ensures that your marketing won’t suffer when staff is sick or on leave, or simply not in a creative mood.
