Stepping Stones Marketing Solutions can provide your business with outsourced marketing support at a fraction of the cost of employing a “professionally qualified” employee. In addition, you will be receiving support from experienced marketing consultants who have worked across a variety of industries.

For many companies the luxury of having their own professionally trained marketing director is not economically feasible.

The salary cost of an experienced marketing professional can be upwards from £60,000 per annum. many companies as result promote an office junior (or indeed director, with no marketing experience) to look after what they see as the marketing activities that are required for the business.

All too often this results in a marketing plan that has no structure and without any real strategy and objectives to drive the business forward.

Stepping Stones Marketing Solutions provides to many of it’s clients an outsourced marketing service where the marketing activities of the company are created and implemented with our assistance. There are several major benefits of using our outsourced marketing service:
