Let's break down the expenses of managing your marketing efforts internally.
Now, contrast these expenses with the cost-effectiveness of outsourcing your marketing CRM needs. By entrusting the creative development, platform management, email campaigns, and technical aspects to a specialized external provider, you'll find that the total expenditure is significantly lower than attempting to handle these tasks internally.
In essence, while the upfront cost of outsourcing may seem daunting, the long-term financial analysis demonstrates that it's a far more economical choice compared to the expenses and missed opportunities incurred by managing your marketing efforts in-house.
Let's break down the expenses of managing your marketing efforts internally.
- First, consider the salary of an employee tasked with overseeing email campaigns, which typically amounts to $100,000 per year.
- Then, factor in the cost of creative services, whether provided by an external agency or developed in-house, which can tally up to $50,000.
- Additionally, there's the significant time investment required for managing email marketing platforms and coordinating creative content, estimated at around $50,000 per year.
- But perhaps the most substantial cost is the potential revenue lost due to inadequate expertise in marketing CRM, resulting in missed opportunities for email engagement and lead generation — a loss that's truly invaluable.
