Top 3 Benefits of Outsourcing Social Media Management Needs
Ryan Stack • Aug 11, 2020
Running a business from the ground up is tough work—there are a lot of moving parts that require your full attention. On top of that, some areas, such as social media marketing, require such a high learning curve to execute that many entrepreneurs may be tempted to forego them altogether.
While hiring a specialist is one option, doing so requires spending time and resources in hiring, onboarding, and training them—which is extra time and resources that you do not have! Instead of stretching yourself thin, you can outsource the job to professional social media managers who can hit the ground running with minimal supervision.
Here are three benefits of outsourcing your social media management efforts to digital marketing providers near you.
High quality work at a lower overall cost
Outsourcing is great for smaller businesses who want to optimize their operational and marketing expenses, without compromising on the quality of work and results delivered.
Hiring an in-house social media manager costs more paying for that person’s monthly salary. You will also be paying for equipment, software, training, and production costs, among others. In contrast, outsourcing the job to professional social media managers will typically require a stable flat rate, which they charge for all their other customers.
Expert help on the get-go
Newly-hired employees will take some time to fully understand your business’s ins and outs and get a good grasp of what your business needs. This is especially true if you only have the budget to hire a single employee for a job that typically requires a whole team.
As a result, he or she will have to spend even more time formulating, crafting, and implementing the right social media strategy for your business. Even then, as a one-person team, their level of quality and consistency may be limited by their own level of expertise.
Meanwhile, professional social media managers often work in teams. A typical team consists of social media strategists, graphic designers, copywriters, photographers, and, if need be, video editors. Because of their diverse experience and skills, they will be able to do the work faster and more consistently.
You can focus on other things
Running a business requires wearing different hats. In fact, it’s rather common to see business owners handle bookkeeping, marketing, operations, and human resources in the nascent stages of their company. While this can work for a while, doing so stretches you thin, and may eventually lead to inefficiency or burnout. In either case, the company is jeopardized.
To prevent this from happening, business owners need to be more strategic in dividing their time and attention. By outsourcing to professional social media managers, they can focus on their core business needs with the knowledge that this vital, but often overlooked, aspect of social media marketing is well taken care of.
Conclusion
In this day and age, having a solid social media marketing operation is no longer a competitive edge—it’s the norm. By not giving enough importance, or not having one at all, a business may be missing out on a lot of revenue. Outsourcing social media management
needs will help a business owner free up some of his or her bandwidth that can be used to look for business opportunities or develop unique products and or services.
