Are you currently advertising for a new Marketing team Member?

This information may help you to decide if an employee is the best solution for your business.

Garnish Marketing is a Brisbane based Marketing Consultancy with experience in your industry.

Garnish Marketing has been in operation since 2006, we successfully market small to medium sized businesses across a variety of industries. We offer a range of services encompassing Research, Planning, Campaign Development, the set up of Systems and Marketing Material, all Graphic Design, SEO Services, Lead Generation and Database Building, Continuous Marketing Assistance and Measuring and Reporting.

We also offer a Mentoring Service to companies who have Sales Staff and or Marketing Administrators who need a little guidance or inspiration with the development of new campaigns and how to manage the influx of work an effective campaign generates.

The Role that you need filling quite possibly calls for a number of the skills sets that exist within our team. So we have some food for thought for you.

Instead of “employing” a person to whom you are then deemed responsible for, why not consider “outsourcing” the work to Garnish Marketing?

What you do pay

• One set retainer fee per week
• Any sundries required to carry out the job
• Third party costs are your own and will be invoiced directly to you.

Let’s assume that you are going to pay $65K + package + super for a semi-decent marketing employee to manage your marketing campaigns and develop sales.

 

Breakdown

Wage                     $65,000

Car                        $6000 (allowing an average of $500 per month)

Fuel allowance      $3000 (allowing $60 a week over 48 weeks)

Phone                    $1550 (allowing $129 per month)

Super at 9%          $5850

Computer              $2000 (for computer plus maintenance and software)

Total Cost            $83,400

Then let’s assume that they get sick, or have a child, or get lazy and productivity is reduced. The rate that you pay to get one hour’s worth of work sky rockets with every little drama in their lives. Hourly rate stands at $43.43 and one of those hours is Lunch.

An average day in the life of an employee

• 8.30 start – Get to work at 8.30, pop to the toilet, make a cup of tea, chat with colleagues.
• 9.00 – Start work – clock starts
• 11.00 – Get up make cup of tea (2 hours so far)
• 11.15 – Clock starts
• 1.00 - Lunch (3.45 so far)
• 2.00 – clock starts
• 4.30 – start to wind down for day, chat to colleagues about evening plans, wash up cup, and go to the toilet. (6.15 hours of work done in one day)
• 5.00 on the dot –pick up bag and leave

So you pay for 8 hours and get 6.15 hours worth of work completed – your hourly rate has just increased to $56.50

Look at the standard of work you are getting for your $83,400 per year – is it worth it and can they do everything you need them to – are you still having to hire a graphic designer as well?

If you use the services of Garnish Marketing you get what you pay for.

• Our timesheet looks like this
• Your dedicated Account Manager starts work on your project in conjunction with our team.
• If we stop – the clock stops
• 10 hours after we start we stop and bill for 10 hours only.

Our rates

We have a team of Marketers, Lead Generators and Graphic designers on hand to work on your project – does your marketing person have all of these skills?

We are offering our retainer to replace the employee for 10/20/30 hours of work a week at these rates:

We ask that you commit to a 3 month term initially and after that if you want to stop the project we ask for 14 days written notification.

What’s the difference?

You get a Professional Marketing and Sales Service from a Company that is interested in growing your business – because it grows ours as a result.

You pay only for what you need, you do not need to “find” us work – we will work so we fill the hours doing ONLY what is best for your business because we develop the plan, follow it and measure it.
