Why Hire a Professional Marketing Firm: Reason #2: Tools

If you're a landscaper, contractor, cook, barber or doctor -- you have tools to do your job. Those tools are critical to the success of your operation. If you're a landscaping firm, you have invested 10s of thousands (or more) dollars into lawn and garden equipment, allowing you to perform your job professionally and efficiently, and properly address the client needs. After all, when a client needs their lawn mowed, you don't use garden sheers. While it "could" work, it would obviously be incredibly labor intensive. Same with a contractor, you don't install finish trim by cutting it with a reciprocating saw.

And worst of all, it's hard to be a cook without pots, pans, knives and all the great gizmos they have. Same holds true in professional marketing and communications services. Our firm, for example, invests 10s of thousands of dollars on all the latest tools and technology that enables us to professionally and efficiently do our job for our clients. Things like Creative Suite, and ProfNET and Cision and Animoto -- research tools, survey tools, audio and video equipment and on and on and on -- all to be used professionally on behalf of a client.

Why on earth would you, as a dental practice, go spend $5,000 on cooking tools or landscaping equipment? You wouldn't right? So, for small to medium sized businesses, it's foolish to purchase these tools for your business, but it's easy to have access to all of them free of charge -- hire a professional firm. They have all the tools to do the job right, and know how in how best to use them in making great ads, nice collateral, to send releases, find reporters, tweet and make a cool video. Fix teeth. Let the agency grow your business.
