Working with an outside firm can add value to your existing marketing efforts while saving you time & money

Getting the biggest return on your investment for marketing dollars spent is a top priority for every company. It doesn’t matter if you’re an e-commerce company, lawyer’s office, doctor’s office or any other type of business. You want to make sure when your investing money in marketing, that your efforts are going to grow your sales and your bottom line.

The truth is outsourcing your marketing department to a company like ours can save you time, energy, and a lot of money. Having worked with dozens of companies on their marketing strategy, plans, execution, here are 4 reasons why contracting out to a marketing company like ours to run your earned, paid, and affiliate marketing campaigns can pay off big in the end.


1. Contracting out to a marketing company will save you money. Hiring a full-time marketing person in Los Angeles is going to cost you upwards of $70,000 - $150,000 a year for salary, insurance, and more. Additionally, you need to pay for your campaigns, on top of the cost of retaining a full time employee. On average, companies spend around 5-10% of your overall revenue on marketing. Why not put more dollars into the actual media buy, rather than additional employees pockets? This is where our process and efficiencies help small businesses scale quickly and grow so that you can bring on more staff down the road.

From foundation to traction—strategies to attract customers, investors, and sustainable growth
By Kyle Patterson September 5, 2025
Launching a startup is exciting—but also overwhelming. With limited time, tight budgets, and pressure to prove traction, a strong, solid marketing plan may get overlooked for sporadic marketing activities that lack results. Yet, the truth is clear: without smart marketing, even the best products and services struggle to find their audience. At Thrive Marketing , we’ve seen too many startups delay or underinvest in marketing, only to scramble later. The good news? You don’t need a huge budget or a massive team. What you need is a focused strategy, consistent execution, and clear measurement. Here are the best practices every startup should follow when building their marketing foundation: 1. Define Your Core Audience First Don’t try to market to “everyone.” Successful startups start small and grow big. Identify: Who your ideal customer is Their biggest pain points Where they spend time online The more specific your audience definition, the easier it will be to create messaging that resonates. 2. Build a Brand Story That Connects People don’t just buy products—they buy into a story. Share why you started, the problem you’re solving, and the vision you’re chasing. This creates emotional connection and sets you apart from competitors. 3. Focus on Digital Channels That Drive Early Wins Instead of spreading yourself thin across every platform, double down on what works: Social Media: Pick 1–2 platforms where your customers spend the most time. Email Marketing: Build your list early; it’s your most valuable owned channel. Paid Ads (with Testing): Even small ad budgets can validate messaging fast. 4. Track Metrics That Matter Vanity metrics (likes, followers) look good but don’t pay the bills. For startups, focus on: Cost per lead Conversion rate Customer acquisition cost Lifetime value A lean dashboard of 3–5 KPIs is better than chasing 20. 5. Iterate Constantly Startups thrive on agility. Test campaigns, measure results, and pivot quickly. The goal is not perfection—it’s momentum, learning, and improving constantly. 6. Don’t Go It Alone Many founders try to do all their marketing themselves, only to burn out. Outsourcing to trusted marketing partners or hiring fractional marketing support gives you expertise without full-time costs—so you can stay focused on growing your business. Final Thoughts Startup marketing doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By defining your audience, telling a compelling story, choosing the right channels, tracking meaningful metrics, and staying agile, you’ll set your company up for long-term growth. At Thrive Marketing, our mission is simple: to help startups and small businesses build marketing systems that work. Whether you’re pre-launch, newly launched, or scaling, the right marketing foundation will help you attract customers and investors—and thrive in a competitive market.
