Oxford Marketing agencies, which one to pick?
There are lots of marketing agencies in Oxford, so why choose us at Beacon Business Support? Let us help you find the right person for you and your business, and hopefully it might be us!
Exceptional results
First thing to look for is results. Can they back up their claims? Ask for case studies which a reputable digital agency in Oxford should decline to do, or even better, ensure they operate a no obligation discovery call service. In this call, it should be two ways, so you can both decide if you can work together and more importantly, you can ask them open and honest questions to gauge their industry experience, without reaching into your wallet.
Deliver on promises
Sometimes if it sounds too good to be true, it could well be. If they say you will have a dedicated account manager, you need to speak to them before you sign a contract. If they use freelancers, that fine. As long as they are upfront and honest. A true marketing agency will have its own in-house professionals to use and call upon encompassing Web design; PPC; SEO and Web development. Make sure you have spoken to these people, and not just a sales person.
Do you need just digital solutions?
Marketing is more than just digital marketing and social media marketing. Make sure you have spoken to the team about what you are looking for and what they can actually deliver. There is no point asking for newspaper adverts if the team only looks after social media marketing campaigns. Research is a must.
Are they focused on profit or genuine business development?
Beacon is a digital marketing agency in Oxford, and we pride ourselves on creating a partnership between each of our clients. Our job is to develop a strategy that enables your money to be spent in the best way possible to deliver the results you are after. You should expect your choice of digital marketing agency to do the same. They should show you the why behind the decision, backed by data of the market, your performance and your competitors, to deliver the best for you within your budget. Marketing is not always about spending more money, it’s about delivering to a target.
Should I pick the first company I Google?
It’s something we are often asked, and the answer is as always, it depends. If you are looking to rank first on Google, then they would definitely have experience of what it takes. However, the question is how much would it cost and how long does it take? Remember often that the first company on Google will have paid for the privilege? Are you willing to do the same? More importantly, going back to our thoughts above, you need to have a real relationship with your digital marketing agency, and if they can provide that, go for it.
It always boils down to Service and Customers
Your choice for marketing agency could be the one that delivers you the best website or promises you the most improvement in traffic ultimately though it’s about how they treat you as a customer and the service they provide. We have said it before, and we will always say it, ask for a call and meet them virtually or in person. Make a decision based on data, trust and price, and you can’t go wrong.
