As an SME owner, you constantly seek ways to grow your business efficiently. While marketing is crucial, building an in-house team can be costly and time-consuming. This is where outsourced marketing, or Fractional or On-Demand Marketing, becomes a game-changer. It's about gaining access to expert marketing resources without the significant overheads of traditional hiring.
Outsourced marketing involves partnering with external specialists, like Better Connected, to manage your marketing activities. Instead of needing an in-house marketer, this model offers unparalleled flexibility and access to expertise, ensuring your marketing efforts are always cutting-edge and effective.
In the case of Better Connected, our services cover both marketing and branding, from developing a strategy or brand identity to providing hands-on support and implementation. There are many benefits to this model including helping you to:
Your time is a precious commodity. According to Deloitte's Global Outsourcing Survey, scalability is a top driver for businesses choosing to outsource. You can concentrate on your core business operations, innovation, and client relationships by delegating your marketing to external experts. No more getting bogged down in campaign management or social media updates; let professionals handle it, allowing you to drive your business forward.
Recruiting a full-time marketing professional involves substantial costs beyond just a salary, including benefits, software licenses, training, and recruitment fees. Outsourced marketing offers a financially savvy alternative. You pay only for the services you need, gaining access to a full suite of marketing capabilities for a fraction of the cost of building an equivalent in-house department. Forbes has often highlighted that outsourcing can reduce operational costs for many businesses.
As marketing expert Neil Patel puts it, "Don’t build a marketing department until you’re ready to scale. Outsource it."
Content, social media, email, website, branding, analytics, and strategy - that's a lot of hats for an SME owner or team to wear! Outsourcing provides immediate access to specialised skill sets that ensure your strategies are robust and your campaigns are optimised. This can significantly reduce the risk of costly marketing missteps due to limited internal knowledge.
Your marketing needs can fluctuate dramatically. Outsourced marketing offers incredible agility, allowing you to scale your marketing efforts up during peak seasons or for major launches, and down during quieter periods. This flexibility ensures you always have the right resources at the right time, perfectly aligning with your business's dynamic growth trajectory.
