When you’re launching a brand new business every penny counts. And
without careful budgeting in place, it’s all too easy for your start-up
costs to spiral out of control. This isn’t the best way to start a new
venture as I’m sure you’ll appreciate.
While there are some costs that are (happily) avoidable because they are not essential to your business, marketing is not one of them.
Marketing is a requirement every business will need to consider for as long as that business exists. Marketing is how the world will get to know of your business. At its most fundamental, marketing will bring about brand awareness and a steady stream of customers. At its extreme it has be known to create fame and fortune too, particularly within the realms of Reality TV. But I digress . . .
Either marketing will be a function you will choose to carry out in-house, or else it will need to be outsourced to an competent individual or company. If you’re not sure what kind of marketing activities would glean the best results for your particular business industry or sector and you don’t have the expertise or resources to market in-house, then assigning your marketing function to a marketing company makes perfect sense.
Employing an marketing company to kick-start your online marketing campaign can benefit you in a host of ways:
You won’t waste time and money carrying out ‘random’ marketing activities that might not be right for your business.
All marketing will be tightly focussed and designed to appeal to your target audience.
Your marketing company will create an emarketing campaign that is within budget and where ‘actions’ are fully accountable and measurable.
Your emarketing plan will contain a number of elements designed to maximise your visibility to potential customers and the media. This ‘marketing mix’ generally works much better than singular marketing activities carried out in isolation, which can result in a lack of momentum.
Your marketing company may be able to obtain discounts from relevant publications and advertising platforms by bulk-buying advertising slots.
Your chosen marketing company will be experts in social media and can arrange for you to have these elements (Facebook, Twitter etc) integrated seamlessly into your marketing campaign (if relevant).
As you have seen, there are many reasons for handing your fledgling business to an marketing company to work their magic.
By teaming up with the right specialists early on, you will ensure that your business starts off on the right foot so to speak, and keeps on heading in the right direction.
