Why You Need Managed Marketing Services in 2023

Marketing as a managed service is one of the most effective and affordable ways to develop and implement a successful marketing plan for your company. Marketing is challenging, especially if you are doing it all on your own. Managed marketing services allow your business to have the power of a marketing team, at your disposal, without having to worry with hiring, training, and company incentives that employees would require, such as health insurance and retirement contributions.

In today’s climate, managed marketing services include more than just lead generation and advertisements. In order to be effective in 2023, your marketing plan should include, in addition to lead generation and advertisements, your website-the design and creation of your website, the maintenance and updating of your website, content creation for your website, for your email subscribers and social media feeds, your social media accounts and reputation, online reviews and much more. It’s important that your digital marketing is handled by a professional team that is well versed in the trends and best practices involved in elevating a product or brand.

Perhaps you are a flourishing firm wanting to expand; or you are introducing a new product and want to attract new clients. To promote your company successfully, you will need the correct tools as well as specific expertise in using those tools to your advantage.

Creating a totally in-house marketing team would be expensive, time-consuming, and the results would not compare to those of a managed marketing team. Attempting to do it all yourself not only takes you away from the operations of your business, it doesn’t allow your business the benefit of the expertise that you will experience working with a professional marketing team.

Access to Expertise and Technology

Are you working with the right people to help you achieve your marketing goals? An effective marketing team demands a wide range of experience, whether in SEO, video production, copywriting, social media management or design—there’s lot to accomplish and you’ll want to cover all of your bases. A low budget will have an impact on staffing and department size, but it will also have a serious influence on the technologies that you can utilize.

Considered, by many, a science and an art, marketing requires both thoughtful creativity and the correct technology to be effective. Consider analytics, audits, and research. Without these tools, and the knowledge of how to use them properly and interpret their data, it’s nearly impossible to best position your brand and develop a winning strategy to beat out the competition. Working with a professional marketing team gives you the benefit of their years of knowledge and experience for results that you won’t be able to replicate yourself accurately.

A solid digital marketing firm has experts in the many different aspects of marketing. You can expect there to be one, or more, experts in each of the following areas:

• Social Media Management
• Content Writing / Creation
• Website Development
• Search Engine Optimization & Search Engine Marketing
• Pay-Per-Click and Advertising Management
• Graphic Design
• Email Marketing
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
• Online Reviews & Reputation
• Ecommerce

Professional marketers use a variety of tools to aid them in their work, whether it’s data on the behavior of your customers, your Google ranking, or your monthly traffic statistics. SEMRush and Zoho CRM are two of the tools that experienced marketers often use to manage and analyze important data about your customers. Planned Growth is an Advanced Zoho Partner and a Certified Agency Partner with SEMrush, meaning that we not only use the technologies to assist in our clients’ success, but we have an intimate working knowledge of their software and how to get the most out of each. We have partnered with the companies that created these tools for the benefit of our clients.

When working with a professional marketing firm, you are using the same tools that larger established and successful businesses are using to increase their customer base and grow their online presence. Bid adieu to the constrained, cost-free possibilities that you discovered online and reap the benefits of working with the same proven tools and methods that the “big guys” get to use.

Controlling Your Marketing Budget

Marketing spending, particularly digital marketing spending, has risen steadily in recent years. Businesses continue to increase their budgets in order to take advantage of popular marketing approaches such as lead generation and email marketing. Hiring an internal marketing staff to implement new marketing initiatives is expensive and will quickly add up.

Even assembling a small team can cost your company tens of thousands of dollars. Incentives, hiring mistakes, equipment and office space are not cheap, and establishing the costly in-house staff, from scratch, would be difficult and inefficient compared to hiring an established marketing team. Many business owners lack the time and finances needed to make assembling an in-house team a possibility.  Planned Growth offers managed marketing services at different service tiers, depending on each client’s marketing needs and budget.

These different marketing service plans allow the business owner to anticipate the monthly cost, while selecting a plan that covers the services and results that they need for their business.
