If you are in the process of, or thinking of building your in-house creative team, you need to seriously consider a business model called creative process outsourcing in the Philippines.
It is a business model where you do not hire a team. What you do is to contact an already existing team in the Philippines that has all the services you need revolving around creative outputs like video creation, content creation, and all forms of graphic design services.
Here, we will explain the benefits of working with these teams to give you some details, and then you can weigh the pros and cons before you decide.
No Upfront Costs
If you set up your own team, you have to hire the employees and pay their salaries. But before you even get started, you have to buy their tools, computers, software, and so much more. You also have to spend money on construction if you put them in an office.
If you outsource to the Philippines, the team is already sitting in an office. They already have the tools and the computers they need, along with the appropriate software like Photoshop, video editor, and so much more.
No Recurring Costs
With employees, you need to pay their salaries, repairs for tools, consistent upgrade of software, utilities like power and internet, and so much more.
If you hire digital marketing from the Philippines, you do not need to worry about these things. All you have to do is to consult with the team, tell them your requirements, and agree on the cost and project timeline.
Once the project is over, you can use the material, and then get the services again only when you need it, as opposed to paying employees who do not have work to do once a marketing campaign is deployed.
No Direct Management Required
If you hire a team, you are going to manage their work on a daily basis. If you do not want to do this, you need to hire a manager who will oversee their work and ensure that they are within the timelines.
Apart from being time-consuming, this is a headache that you do not want to have. If you pay for the BPO companies in the Philippines, you can schedule a weekly meeting to check on their progress and see how the project is developing.
You can tell the team to make changes or adjustments, and you can proceed with more important matters about your business, such as logistics and checking product quality, or analysis of your sales and marketing ROI.
Summary
Graphic design outsourcing is the way to go if you want to get the job done right, fast, and at a lesser cost. Today, there are already established teams in the Philippines who are waiting to provide you with the digital marketing services you need.
The first step is to contact these teams, check their portfolio and rates and then you can move on from there. You can shop for prices or work out a win-win solution with these teams to advance your business interests.
