When you have a business (or a whole department to manage), you know you have many things to do in a day — keeping the operations going, talking to clients, delivering top-notch services, meeting with employees, and interviewing job applicants. A disruption, welcome or not, in this order of things can most likely make you feel daft.
Then suddenly, you’re hearing about competitors jumping into the social media wagon and getting more brand awareness than you do. You want to do the same, but you have no idea how to start. We think the day has come for you to outsource your social media management and have a digital marketing team who knows their business and who knows how to help you.

Outsourcing? But I have an in-house marketing team!

You might ask, “Why outsource when I can leverage my own in-house marketing team?” Our question back to you would be, “Do you have a good marketing team with solid social media management experience that requires a lot of skills in monitoring, listening and interacting with your markets?”
Besides, your marketing team might already be up to their necks full of work to do. We have follow-up questions, too, like: “Is this same team prepared to handle a social media crisis? How is their knowledge on blogging and web content? Do they understand social media marketing metrics?”

Remember that social media management, with increasing conversations going on, can prove to be time- and labor-intensive process to ensure that you are tracking, conversing, monitoring, and managing them effectively. Is your in-house team ready for such possible occurrence?

Considering ‘outsourcing’ as a solution

So should you outsource your social media management? We say yes.
Let us change your mind with this simple comparison chart on what outsourcing could do for you and your team.

You have an awesome in-house team. And you love them to them bones!
But they are already up to their neck with tasks and deliverables. Also, you don’t really have anyone on board with the skills and expertise needed to keep the gears of a social media program running.
What should you do? Outsource.
Consider the time spent figuring things out VS simply having a team that acts as an extension of what you already have in-house? Now that sounds better right?
You now have a team extension with the skills, the time, the expertise to run a social media program that’s data–driven and iterative.
