Running a small business is an all-consuming venture that can eat up a lot of your time. At times, it can become quite overwhelming and can easily rob you of your energy and enthusiasm. Hiring a Digital Marketing Consultant or outsourcing your online marketing to a professional digital marketing agency is the obvious solution. Following are 10 of the most striking benefits of hiring a digital marketing assistant.
1 – Your marketing stays unaffected by staff issues
Consistency is all-important for successful online marketing. An ill-timed sickness or leave from a staff member during an important marketing campaign is bad news for your company. For instance, if your blog suddenly comes to a standstill for weeks at a stretch during a full-blown festive season, it can spell disaster for your online marketing endeavors. This won’t help your cause to boost your Google rankings either.
When you go for a professional digital marketing agency, all these worries are put to rest. You can count on their professionalism (as long as you hire the right agency) for optimal quality and consistency at all times, during all seasons without any unwarranted gaps or delays.
2 – Your marketing is handled by a team of experts
With in-house staff, you normally depend on a single marketing person who handles all forms of marketing work. When you hire a marketing agency, you have a team of expert digital marketers working for you. You have their expertise and experience at your disposal. They are engaged full-time in meticulously researching, creating and putting to work the most effective marketing strategies for your company.
3 – You get the best ROI for your marketing
Those digital marketing experts will make sure that your money is invested properly in order to bring more leads and profits. With the right agency, any unnecessary expenditure will be skillfully avoided. Be wary of agencies that try to nickel and dime you and add on over the top of what you were quoted. This will ensure that your limited funds are used optimally and you will get the best returns on investment on your digital marketing.
4 – You get the benefit of objective analysis
Although it’s true that you know about your company more than anyone else under the sun, it can also make your judgment get clouded and biased. This can make it difficult to objectively analyze performances. With an agency, you get the advantage of an objective, third party analysis of the situation which can help build better digital marketing strategies and plans for further growth.
5 – Your core business can maintain a healthy distance from marketing
When you hire an outside marketing agency, you can keep your core business away from the marketing activity. This way, the most effective and beneficial marketing decisions can be taken and implemented without any internal bias. Besides having faith in the knowledge and skill of your digital marketing agency, it is beneficial to get periodic reports and live status updates on the performance of the project.
6 – Your marketing keeps up with the industry updates
The marketing experts keep updating their knowledge and skills on a regular basis to keep up with the most current happenings and modern marketing trends in the industry. This way, they can promptly adapt your marketing strategies to any important industry changes.
7 – You get multiple tasks accomplished without hassle
If you don’t have the resources to build a large, sophisticated marketing team, it is unrealistic to expect your in-house marketers to handle such diverse marketing tasks as PPC campaigns, email lists, social media marketing and so on. With an outside agency, you can use multiple marketing channels at once with ease and efficiency. Whether you want to update your website, write effective marketing copy or a blog article, or automate your social media, you can get it all done by the experts in that particular field who have access to the best tools and resources to accomplish those tasks.
8 – Your marketing strategies are constantly optimized and improved
Would you continue working with your marketing company if it cannot bring you the proposed results and a better ROI? Not likely. This possibility keeps these agencies on their toes and they keep on optimizing the marketing strategies for your company on an ongoing basis – saving them from becoming outdated or ineffective.
9 – You get the advantage of the best available technology
There are more than 4,000 marketing technologies available. How to choose the right one from them? Being at the bottom of the IT department’s priority list adds to the dilemma as support and guidance are hard to come by. With a full-fledged marketing agency’s services at your disposal, you will get the benefit of the latest marketing technologies along with prompt support and guidance about their optimal implementation.
10 – You get the benefit of their specialization
Digital marketing agencies are experts in what they do. Many of these companies specialize in a particular industry, types of clients and even location. This gives them an in-depth understanding of their niche industry. They have proven track records of successful marketing campaigns. Who better could you ask for to promote your business?

How can we pitch for coustumer
I find it cool when you said that a business owner can hire a local marketing agency so that they can handle making marketing decisions without any internal bias with the client company. Learning about this convinced me to hire one for my aunt before she gets her dream florist shop open this year, starting tomorrow. Doing this will help increase her number of customers, thus increasing her chance of making sales.
That’s great to hear you’ve taken steps to hire someone to help drive business to your aunt’s new business. Outsourcing work to an SEO specialist might be a good idea. Since she’s likely focused on local business, it’s important to have a focus on local SEO to help people locate her business.
In my experience and to what I see as the main point of this article, it’s all too easy to underestimate the value of working with a team of experts each with their own skillset. Even working in short bursts for your company, this type of arrangement delivers results without the cost of hiring an entire in-house team. The other thing I see is that a lot of business clients have this misconception that digital marketing is mostly tech-driven rather than driven by creative design and user experience.
You’re right, Eve. A lot of companies miss out on the value of outsourcing. I think one of the best reasons, outside of gaining expertise you don’t have in house, is not having to bring on an additional salary, insurance, benefits, and all the overhead that comes with an FTE.
It allows you to focus on running your business. Experts in Marketing Know Their Fields. Cut down on marketing costs. They offer measurable results. They have all the tools. You can get new ideas.
