In today’s episode, Laura and Julia share five suggestions for professionals considering hiring accessible — but inexperienced — marketers for their organization. Our hosts discuss the value of understanding marketing’s complexities, from likes to licenses and legality, and valuing your employee’s expertise, which can be an investment for your organization. We know that you want the most bang for your buck — listen in to find out what marketing strategy is best for you.
Takeaways:
1 - Experience as a consumer does not equal experience as a marketer, which requires experience and understanding of online marketing’s complexities.
2 - Experienced marketers bring in many benefits, including connections, resources and industry access, that those just starting out cannot provide.
3 - Marketing is a highly volatile and evolving industry, and continuing education and training of your staff and leadership can help you stay on top of the new best practices.
4 - Going with amateur, under-informed or under-experienced marketers can lead to serious problems, such as the loss of social media accounts, misunderstood terms of service, or even lawsuits or legal challenges over copyright and other regulations.
5 - Hiring an experienced marketer, and avoiding the time-wasting pitfalls that can haunt an inexperienced one, is a valuable way to invest in your business.
