It's a fair but an interesting question to hear people ask "Why would I pay the extra salary for a Marketing Coordinator?". Its kind of funny to hear because people love to worry about mandatory needs when they deem them mandatory, but by then alot of money and time has been wasted.
Lets explain by giving an example. Is it possible to replace your water pipes when you don't have the experiance, nor the patience, nor the time to do the job. Yeah of course you can do it. Its not rocket science. Lets subtract the negatives, like the mandatory basics of not knowing to turn off your water valves from all sources or that you must change all pipes throughout the house, not just the rusted ones. You actually can figure it out for the most part and it can be palable to perform the job. What materials do you need? Which ones will do the job so your not doing it again in 2 years? Which Materials are efficient and cost effective? How Long will it take? With this duration how will your everday be effected? If it can not be done at a specific short time, How will you and your family manage? These are only some of the keys to consider for any influencial project. There is a good amount of facets to consider before starting. What has to be done to make it palable? The possiblity it gets done well at a reasonable time and well is slim. But you need your plumbing replaced, configured, and maintenanced regularly in order to have, not only good plumbing, but save you loss of investment and agrivation in the long hall.
Lets not delve really deep into the analogy, and bring the point. Marketing for a business is as essential as having your foundation of materials to do the job. Your a repairman, you need a toolbelt; your a baker you need dough. Your in Business, You need to MARKET. No business last without promoting efficiently. Its just that simple. However, its tedious, its calculating. It's not calculus, you can figure alot of it out. But to have it down will take years of trial and error and experimentation of new resources. Every business is different. The phone book may work well for one Business but not another. As well a radio spot will be pointless to one business in contrast to bread and butter of another. While your "Experimenting", you have taken away from upgrading and adjusting what you need to perserviere your business. Times change the market changes Especially today. You are digging into your pocket more and more because you gave a half cocked effort in your marketing. Owners throw away thousands of dollars, especially on start up, because they just wanted to do the "essentials" to save money. Marketing is usually what they "save on". What "essentials" can you do when you now let a salesman talk you into a $1500 promotion that gives you barely any return. Why? Because you were so configured with all the other start-up costs, inventory, compliance that "Something" had to be done to launch your business. So a untold deadline is now given to force you to jump into the first Marketing resource you think will work without knowing what is cost to ROI? What demographic uses it? How much penetration has it garnered? $1500 have now gone to one resource that could have been spread to several more effective resources.
I quote one of the Premier Marketers of our time when I say "Let go". You know what your doing in your craft. Unless you are Marketing Company, Hire a Marketing Coordinator. We suggest T.R. Marketing - Some of the most Influential Marketing Coordintors around. LOL. When you have a marketing coordinator it falls under a simple principle. "You called Joes Plumbing. 30 years of service under our Belt". The stress you will face is unbelieve able when launching a new business or campaign. You will not have patience or time to put into what it takes to promote your business. Put in the hands of someone who knows ins and outs of the most important factor to your business. Its a investment as well as a need. Make those pipes last 15 years rather than 5 by spending on the copper bearing rather than the aluminum. Relaying those wall plasters are expensive.
