Outsource marketing is the practice of entrusting the company's marketing demands to a third party. Experts are hired to develop and execute business marketing strategy and campaigns (Emiliani, Gregory & Swartz, 2018).
Outsourcing indicates to a contractual relationship for delivering business services by an external provider. Simply put, a company pays another company to do work for it. Outsourcing consists of entrusting a supplier with activities outside the core competencies chosen by the organization (Sharpe, 1997).
The need of outsource marketing in business company
The idea of marketing products or services to the public is such a central function to a business that it requires a significant amount of attention. As a result, companies wishing to convey aspects of their product or service offerings can do so in creative but sometimes costly ways. As a more profitable alternative, outsourcing has become an extremely popular modern business activity. Once seen as an alternative reserved for large multinationals, outsourcing has become a viable business solution for any organization to improve its market position, reduce costs and improve its overall quality. While many corporate activities such as information and human resource management were done “in-house”, advocacy for outsourcing most of these efforts keep going and more and more they are becoming a global business trend (Sartore, Taylor, & Walker, 2009).
Common services marketing agencies provide to business companies (Emiliani, Gregory & Swartz, 2018):
- Branding,
- Content marketing,
- Creative development,
- Data analytics and optimization,
- Email marketing,
- Market research,
- Social media,
- Public relations,
- Web development.
Crucial factors to successful outsourcing
Three behavioral factors that influence the quality of the relationship between the service provider and receiver are identified (Lee & Kim, 2005):
- shared knowledge,
- mutual dependency,
- organizational linkage.
Current findings further reinforce these claims by identifying psychological factors as crucial in fostering the commitment and trust. These "process" variables all have the characteristics necessary for the satisfaction of users and the company in general.
