I wanted to know if many of you have internal marketing departments or if you hire someone to do it for you? I do not have the time to really worry about this although it is important to increase business.

I personally hire 1-2 people to take on the job of marketing. Hiring a group or a business to do it in my opinion is a horrible mistake if you have a small to medium sized business.

Usually with 1-2 people, you can have a website up, fliers and other printed materials and of course the cheaper price to pay.

With a group or business, you want to have a big business so the money is worth it. Hiring a person is a lot cheaper than hiring a group of people. I gaurentee most independent marketers will charge less than larger groups.

Thank you for the information. I was interested in this as well. I have always known that groups can be more expensive. What is the going rate for hiring an individual to work for you doing this, or does it vary.
