Social media manager or Social media agency?

shahar — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:20:10 +0000

I made a comparison between pros and cons of social media managers and social media agencies. This for the case of you looking to start a new business. I need to say that both options are good because they are in very high demand.

They are both cheap to start
They both have ongoing fees
You are not obliged to have an advertising fee like you would in a franchise business, but of course you do need a budget to advertise your business

Social media agency would bring more name recognition that a social media manager.

They are both proven business models and both in very high demand now and in the next few years.

A social media agency usually has proprietary systems in place and these systems allow people running the business more freedom.

A social media marketing agency also provides the owner the ability to scale more than a social media manager. The manager can create a team in order to scale.

Which one is right for you?
I’d say that is a personality thing. You can run both from home. With any you can achieve 6 figures in a relative short period of time.
How big do you want to go?

Social Media Marketing, The most sought after service

shahar — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 19:13:14 +0000

Every small business owner knows now that they need to be online and using social media marketing. They also know that many of the things they were doing as part of a small business marketing strategy is not yielding the return they once were. Things like newspaper advertising, Yellow pages etc.

There is also the fact that the cost to invest in social media is a lot lower than other options they tried in the past and that alone makes social media marketing very sexy to business owners.

When it comes to implement social media they soon learn it is not that easy to do it yourself and can be very time consuming. Plus, they have other aspects of their business where they rather spend time.

They don’t really want to learn how to do it and they for sure don’t want to do it.

So they are pulling their hair out trying to find companies that can implement social media marketing for them.

They want a company that has the proper structure and right strategy to bring an effective plan, not just another assistant that knows how to make friends on Facebook, but they don’t want the big advertising agencies either because they come with the same price points they are used in traditional advertising.

So, what is the small business owner to do?

Find a boutique social media agency that understands small business marketing, can create effective strategies and deliver what it promises.

This boutique social media agency could be you. Easily making over 6 figures a year.

What to look for when outsourcing small business marketing

shahar — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:56:03 +0000

Outsourcing marketing efforts has become an essential aspect of business strategies. After all, you should focus on what you are good at and outsource the rest.

Outsourcing allows a company to put more focus on product development and overall operations. Many marketing agencies can often provide the same service as an in-house marketing department, but at half the cost.

By outsourcing you gain the following:

Specialized skills and expertise
More time- your most valuable asset
More implementation
Fast results

Every time you hear outsourcing marketing you think about how expensive marketing agencies are. Don’t forget that there are some Marketing companies that specialize in small businesses, just like BuzzBooster. They are not in the business of selling you on expensive advertising, they focus on other strategies like internet marketing, direct response marketing and social media marketing to bring you more exposure and more results.

Here are a few questions that should assist you in finding a marketing agency that is right for you.

Area of ExpertiseFind out what their expertise is in. What do they focus on? Here are common areas of expertise:
- Search Engine Marketing and Optimization

- Sales and Marketing Campaign Development
- Marketing Classes, Seminars, and Workshops
Figure out what areas you need help in and look for consultants with expertise in those areas.

Training/EducationWhat type of training and/or education is important to you. I will tell you that education is important, however experience and hands-on expertise can far out weigh education when it comes down to success in marketing.Ask for case studies, referrals, and experience in the areas that you need assistance in.

Company AchievementsWhat are the notable achievements that the marketing consultant has achieved. What work are they most proud of?Ask them to show you examples of campaigns they run for other clients.
