Social media could be one of the first things to slip when a business gets busy. Maybe you had the best intentions, but a hectic client project, an upcoming deadline, a busy sales season or just the everyday running of your business took priority. Suddenly, weeks have passed since your brand last posted on social media.
That doesn’t mean you don’t value your social presence, it just means you’re human and other things have taken the lead. You’re not alone in this, as only one in three SMEs have a marketing action plan, with the majority relying on ad-hoc posts and “random acts of marketing”, struggling to find their footing and stay consistent.
Sometimes, bringing in some outside support is exactly what helps your brand stay visible and connected online. Let’s take a look at a few signs that it may be time to outsource your social media, why outsourcing is often the best solution, and how agencies like ours can help.
Signs It Might Be Time to Outsource Your Social Media Marketing
If any of these sound familiar, it could be worth considering getting some extra support with your social media marketing:
- Your social media strategy gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list when business gets busy.
- You find consistency tricky. You post in bursts, then disappear for a while.
- You find that you don’t have time to keep up with the latest platform updates or social media trends.
- Your social content feels rushed or a bit repetitive, and you struggle to keep the ideas flowing.
- You’d love to grow your brand’s presence on social media, but find that there just aren’t enough hours in the day.
Outsourcing doesn’t mean handing over all control, it just means having someone in your corner to keep things ticking over, bring in fresh ideas, and make sure your social presence doesn’t get left behind.
Why Outsourcing Your Social Media Marketing Makes Sense
Social media is powerful, but only if you give it the time and attention it deserves. When it slips down the list of priorities, it becomes harder to build the consistency and trust that really make a brand shine online. That’s where outsourcing can make all the difference.
One of the biggest benefits of getting some help is consistency. Having someone dedicated to your social media presence means your brand can keep showing up, even during your busiest times. No more long gaps between posts and your audience will start to see your content popping up regularly, which helps to build brand loyalty and keep you top of mind.
Outsourcing also brings in specialist expertise. Social media changes quickly and it can feel overwhelming to keep up with trends, updates and best practices on top of running your business. By outsourcing, you’re bringing in people who live and breathe social.
As a business owner, your focus needs to be on what you do best. Outsourcing your social media marketing means you can get back to running your business, knowing that your online presence is being taken care of. It’s one less plate to spin.
Finally, outsourcing offers a fresh perspective on your social media strategy. When you’re so close to your business, it can be tricky to see your brand from your audience’s point of view. An outside perspective can spot opportunities you might miss.
What Outsourcing Your Social Media Marketing Doesn’t Mean
Handing over your social media doesn’t mean losing your voice or control. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
Hiring a social media specialist should feel like a collaboration, not a takeover. You set the tone, goals and boundaries and you can still be as involved as you’d like to be. They’ll work with you to make sure your content feels true to you, while freeing up your time and giving your social media marketing the care and attention it deserves.
