Business Process Outsourcing Solutions For Small And Medium Enterprises

Marketing Campaign


There was a time not long ago when Business Process Outsourcing solutions where aimed at and meant to be bought by large businesses. Overtime, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) solutions came to be offered by smaller IT firms mostly based in India. These BPO Businesses because of their smaller staff size and infrastructure, are ideal for small and medium enterprises. Let us see how.

Your business for example, could hire a virtual staff to sieve through all incoming emails and catalogue them for you. Due to the time differences, the catalogue for the day could be ready and waiting for you when you enter office. From point of view of efficiency it would make little difference to your business if your staff was sitting at a desk a few meter away or a thousand kilometres away. He or she receives your instructions usually sent via email, executes them and sends the finished work back to you (or whatever).

With the bulk of your staff sitting in a different location, you could run a small or medium sized business from a relatively small office and thereby reduce your rent and your utility bills. You won't have to invest in buying furniture, air-conditioning, computers and so forth. The wage bill too will be amazingly less and yet, you will have all the advantages of an office with a full work-strength. Naturally, this translates into better business economics and increase in revenue.

Fact is, bulk of the work in any office is clerical in nature. And even where it isn't, Business Process Outsourcing solution providers have an amazing pool of qualified talent to cover just about anything you might want done. So yes, you can easily run a small or medium sized enterprise with just a skeleton staff of senior employees.

Most Business Process Outsourcing solution providers today run 24 x 7 which means your virtual staff is just a email or IP-phone call away. Need something done urgently and completed in next 10 minutes? No problem!

Business Processing Outsourcing solution providers themselves have evolved quickly and have come up with innovative pricing mechanisms including, ‘pay-as-you-go’ and service based subscription models. Additionally, many also have adopted an innovative trend like outcome-based pricing guarantees.

Apart from the economics of it, the best thing about Business Process Outsourcing is the fact that you can increase of decrease your virtual staff at the drop of a hat without the unnecessary legal complications that come with hiring local staff.

Confidentiality is now an issue of the past. In the early stages the Business Process Outsourcing solution providers were themselves learning how to handle things. Remember, this was a new business. Today, they have each perfected their standard and confidentiality is no longer an issue.

Marketing Academy Group- We Specialise In Creating Hard-Hitting Website Design

Website Design
A hard-hitting website design is the sum total of the website design and its constituent parts including navigation and content. Take Amazon for example; the graphics is anything but great and yet, it is one of the most successful of websites. So what exactly is a “hard-hitting website design”?

Before we get to that part, we need to understand that a prospective customer does not come to a website to see the graphics or the design, they would have bought a painting if that is what they wanted – no! Prospective customers come to the website because they want something – information or service or products. They are not interested in your design – they want to get whatever they need quickly and exit to the next thing in their schedule. Or, imagine your home – great décor, excellent painting but ultimately, a home needs to feel like one in terms of layout and content otherwise you will want to move on. This same logic applies to a website.

We at Marketing Academy Group specialise in creating hard-hitting Web Design And Branding – but from point of view of the customer. We understand your product or service and we figure out your target audience. Our graphics designers go to work creating a simple but elegant design. Next, our website navigation team based on content and target audience, create an idiot-proof navigation system wherein the prospective customer can either navigate to the information or product or service they require or, enter a search criteria and hit the search button. Either way, they get to the 'meat' in the shortest possible time with the fewest possible clicks.

We at Marketing Academy Group also have content specialists who are not just brilliant in terms of the language, they also know how to create meaningful titles that complement the product or service and how to create content that sets off the product or service favourably. Even technical specifications can be made easy to understand by adding meaningful explanations. For example, simple stating “Gorilla Glass” for specs pertaining to a cell phone will not be understood by most prospective customers. But when we add that Gorilla Glass is a brand of specialised and toughened glass developed and manufactured by Corning, now in its fifth generation, designed to be thin, light and exceptionally break resistant; not only provides the specs but also converts it into a a advantage for the product and therefore a reason to select this particular product. How many websites out there do this?

Customers who have visited your website once will want to visit your website again because of the depth of and clarity of content. A hard-hitting design also means including at least 3 or four product images clicked in a manner that is meaningful to the prospective customer. Additionally, the customer should have the option to view full sized images.

Finally, we at Marketing Academy Group firmly believe, that a successful hard-hitting website design is not one that is designed and build from the owner point-of-view, but one that is designed and built from the customer point-of-view. After all, your website will be successful only if your customers are happy.
