Frequently Asked Questions About Marketing Consulting
What exactly do I get with OEPMA consulting?
You get access to individuals who have successfully marketed small to mid-sized businesses with millions in marketing spend and millions more in profit generated. When you contact us, we discuss the particulars of your situation because everyone’s needs are different. Our experience spans highly competitive markets and diverse industries, giving you proven insights tailored to your specific challenges and goals.
How is consulting different from full-service management?
Consulting involves analyzing what you currently have and suggesting improvements, or providing expert advice for processes you’re considering for the future. You get the game plan for implementation and understand why it matters to your business. Full-service management means we handle the day-to-day execution and optimization of your campaigns. Consulting gives you the strategy and direction, management handles the doing.
How long does a typical consulting engagement last?
Our most popular consulting engagements are one-time sessions and month-to-month arrangements. We also serve clients who implement different marketing tactics as a service, where consulting is included with the service fee. The structure depends entirely on your needs. Some businesses need a one-time audit and direction, others benefit from ongoing monthly check-ins to stay on track.
What does consulting cost?
It depends on what you’d like consulted about. Generally, the wider the range of topics, the more it costs because it requires more time and planning. If you’re interested in consulting, reach out and let us know the topics you’d like to discuss. We’ll provide a clear cost estimate based on your specific needs and the scope of work involved.
Can consulting help if I already have a marketing team?
Absolutely. Marketing teams can get stuck banging their heads against the same problem day after day. This happens to the best teams and there’s nothing wrong with being stuck. Sometimes it just takes a fresh pair of experienced eyes from people who’ve seen the problem before to accelerate the breakthrough. We help good teams become great by providing outside perspective and proven solutions.
What if I need more hands-on help after consulting?
We offer services for Web Design, Email Marketing, and a comprehensive list of Digital Advertising services. We may be able to help you directly, but we won’t let that get in the way of being honest with you. Sometimes someone else is better suited for the job and we’ll tell you that. When you hire us for consulting, we’re zealous advocates of your success, not just selling our services.
