Many small business owners start out wearing a lot of hats. As your business grows, you have to start thinking about delegating some of those responsibilities – marketing included! But how do you know if it’s time to stop doing it all by yourself? Here are some telltale signs that mean you might be ready to hire a marketing agency!

1)YOU’VE FOUND ORGANIC SUCCESS BUT HAVE HIT A PLATEAU

You’ve nailed down your products/offer suite and have a website proven to convert. Now what? How do you reach even more people? A digital marketing agency can help you get in front of the right people, and scale your business. 

We look at what you’re doing currently, market trends, as well as data to find areas of opportunity and offer suggestions for improvement. 

2) YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO MAKE IT A PRIORITY

Small business owners have to wear many hats and have a lot of responsibilities. You have to prioritize things and marketing can easily take up a lot of your time. When you hire an agency, we can take something off of your plate and use our expertise to bring it to the next level.

3) YOU DON’T ENJOY MARKETING

Some business owners don’t enjoy marketing – and that’s ok! That is a totally valid reason to hire an agency. If it doesn’t bring you joy, and you can hire someone to bring their passion for marketing to the table, why not? Let an agency bring their creativity to your brand! It’s a win, win really. 

4) YOU’VE REALIZED YOU DON’T HAVE THE SKILLS OR THE TOOLS

Agencies hire talented and passionate marketers. Since they focus entirely on marketing, agencies will also have access to tools that you might otherwise not be able to access. A good digital marketing agency will get to know your brand and goals really well. They’ll then use their skills and tools to come up with a strategy that makes sense! (If things are feeling too templated with an agency though, that can be a definite red flag…)

5) YOU WONDER WHAT IS WORKING

If you’re not sure what is working from your current marketing strategy, you probably won’t be able to replicate any success. Do you know how your marketing efforts are impacting your website traffic, leads, and customers? If not, you could be wasting your time (and money) on a strategy that isn’t effective. A good agency can help you focus on the efforts that will actually be productive for your business.

6) YOU’D LOVE TO HIRE A COMPLETE MARKETING TEAM, BUT LACK THE BUDGET

Hiring a full in-house marketing team can get expensive quickly. Hiring an agency is a great way to get the support you need without having to do any hiring yourself.
