The Benefits Of Hiring Contract Marketing Help For Your Small Business

As a small business owner, you know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to marketing. You need to be agile and able to shift strategies quickly in order to meet the ever-changing needs of your customers and the competitive landscape. That’s why hiring contractors to help with your marketing could be the best option for your business. Let’s explore why.

Saving Money on Full-Time Salary and Benefits

Hiring a full-time employee comes with a long list of overhead costs, including salary, benefits, vacation time, sick time, office space, and training. When you hire outside marketing help, those costs are significantly reduced because contract workers come with all of those benefits already included in their services. Plus, you don’t have to worry about dealing with HR paperwork or employee taxes.

Business Flexibility

When you hire a contractor or agency to handle your tactical marketing projects instead of hiring a full-time employee, you gain an incredible amount of flexibility for your business. This allows you to adjust your strategy based on seasonality or budget without having to worry about making long-term commitments or having employees sitting idle when there isn’t enough work for them. Outsourcing can ensure that you will have someone working on your marketing projects only when you need it most.

Expertise Level

I am living proof that you can get top-tier talent from freelancers and/or fellow small business owners working on contract. If you aren't running a super-desirable brand name company like Google or Apple, then I'm willing to bet you have struggled to recruit top-tier talent to your open positions. Am I right? I am here to tell you that you can hire someone at a level of expertise higher than the entry- or mid-level applicants you are getting - you might just need to look for a contractor. I know many people who are at the top of their fields in communications, web design, graphic design, and copywriting who have left the grind of the corporate world and started freelancing. Imagine getting top-quality work without having to pay $200K a year for it!

The benefits of outsourcing some or all of your marketing needs are numerous and significant. It's almost too good to be true- saving money on salaries and benefits, gaining the flexibility to adjust strategy depending on seasonality or budget, while still getting access to high levels of expertise. If these sound like values that align with what your business needs right now - contact Halo Effect Marketing today. I look forward to helping your small business thrive!
