Who Are GREAT Companies to Outsource Offline Marketing Work To???

10 replies
Hi there..

I’m looking for recommendations for companies that provide done-for-you IM services for local businesses. So, when my company gets the local businesses signed up to IM services, the other company takes care of the work involved in building sites, getting ranked etc. And all under the umbrella of our company name.

I’m looking for reliable, established, quality companies – preferably run by some kind of respected name or company .

Also, if they offer private-label for their services… and/or…. take care of customer support, that is a plus too.

Web Design
SEO
Google Adwords
Google Local
Email Marketing
Mobile Marketing – SMS blasts
Social media campaigns
Video marketing


Thanks Warriors! I appreciate any good recommendations you can offer!

    It's a myth. Don't sell it. Give them a free "how to" report. Engaging with their own clientele should become an addiction. Or, you must, use SignalHQ.

      That's a good list but this point is not true. Just because you haven't found the keys to Social Media does not mean they don't exist.

      Hootsuite
      OnlyWire

      Those are good places to start with social. It can bring ROI in a very big way if done correctly.

        Dan,

        This is all debatable... However, the best Social Media campaigns I've seen are those who are 100% controlled by the business owner themselves. There's this lady who runs a salon here locally that kills it during rainy weather by offering discounts + concierge treatment. She sees bad weather, she posts pics on FB of the service and Tweets. Ladies come into the parking lot and wait for an attendant to fetch and take them to their cars with huge umbrellas, and are also given free umbrellas upon exit.

        Twitter converts customers more than any other platform, but the average is 2%. Outliers (people with outsized Twitter conversions) were run by someone inside the company with a vested interest in its' success. I could be running a multi-billion corporation and I'd much rather hire someone, inculcate them with company culture, and pay them $60k to Tweet and post on FB before I'd spend $5,000 a month with some fancy agency.

          I agree with you 100% overall. The difference is in the details. No one can engage with potential customers like an owner or inside contact.

          For that reason, it is crucial that the company is involved in the campaign. So, in addition to us creating 4 or 5 messages per day and blasting them out to a ton of places, the business must also be ready to respond to any comments that come in and engage the customer base.

          This enables them to avoid hiring someone for $60k (which really costs $120k) and still get an awesome result.

          It's all about ENGAGEMENT. That is what it means to be social. But that's the end of my soapbox.

    Though there are many companies out there, but most of it depends on your budget as well.

    Here are some for example:

    Web Design
    SEO

    PageTraffic, Candidinfo,

    Google Adwords


    Google Local

    https://getlisted.org/
    Yext - The Location Software Company - Yext, Inc. for basic

    Email Marketing

    Mailchimp is good, but again depends on your budget

    Social media campaigns

    This again depends on your objective. Only managing the accounts or doing lead generation via social media.

    Video marketing

    Depends on the budget, ranges between $500 to $5000 and also on kind of work you looking for.
