Amazon Advertising Tasks You Can Outsource Via the "BOT" Model

Since the inception of Amazon Advertising in 2012, the eCommerce world has become a true force in leveraging the business. A recent report shows that  Amazon's share of US Digital Ad Marketing surpassed 10% in 2020.

Many businesses are investing in Amazon Advertising to unlock the power of Amazon. However, handling amazon advertising tasks requires you to have a skilled team who can roll out engaging campaigns and monitor and tweak them.

But building a team or finding the right person to do this task is tedious.

If you sell through Amazon FBA, you know how many tasks there are to complete. Many businesses often outsource their operations to a digital marketing agency. Maybe you also have hired an agency or are considering doing so.

But this is not a complete solution since you will fully depend on the agency to make even a small change in your campaign strategy, which increases your time to market and load on your wallet.

So, is there any way to come out of this problem? Of course, there is a reliable, adaptable, and flexible solution.

Saffron Edge brings a "BOT" model, especially for DTC (Direct-to-consumer) brands. The model will help D2C brands like you to acquire a skilled and talented in-house team/expert that fits your needs. The best part is you don't need to spend time finding the right candidates and upskilling them. We will do all these tasks on your behalf. This way, you can focus more on things that matter to you most

But what exactly do we do? And what is the BOT model?

What is a BOT Model?

BOT stands for Build-Operate-Transfer. You may have heard about this term before, especially in the IT industry. Some people consider outsourcing, offshoring, and BOT the same. But this is just a half-truth.

BOT model refers to an integrated partnership between you and the agency providing a BOT model that lets you build an offshore team/expert in a 'build' phase and put them in a preliminary test during the 'operate' phase. Once the selected team/specialist adjusts to your company's methodologies, tools, and processes and is well-versed with all theoretical and practical knowledge, you can take full control of them in the 'transfer' phase.

Simply put, the BOT model gives you a chance to "try before buying." This means you don't need to hire or invest in your offshore unit until you are fully sure of its worth.

Let's understand the different phases of the BOT model in more detail:

• Build: This initial phase involves understanding the company's requirements, creating a job description and hiring advertisements accordingly. We have a dedicated HR team and professionals who know which candidate will stand higher on your objectives. We verify multiple candidates and conduct one-on-one interviews and tests to get the ‘cream’ talent for you.
• Operate: The operation phase is when the selected candidate or team adapts to your business requirement. Our specialized marketing experts will teach and upskill the team or candidate with the marketing hacks. We give them various sources and courses that will prepare them to tackle all the challenges.
• Transfer: It is the final phase where we conduct scanning of the candidate or team based on your requirements. You can also take tests of the candidates. Once you get fully assured, you can take full control of them.

• Cost-efficiency: Since your project team/specialist is fully owned, managed, and operated by us until you take control of them, you can save huge money. You don't need to worry about paying a significant upfront cost to onboard resources.
• Ability to scale rapidly: Using the BOT model, a business can build an agile, skilled team that allows them to increase their revenue, expand their business and achieve various objectives.
• Faster Time to Market: As discussed, with a digital marketing agency, you have to wait to make a single change in your campaign. But with BOT, you can make an in-house team that lets you make any change anytime, thus faster time to market.
• Access to New Technology: We will train the team/candidate with new sets of skills and software that allow you to take advantage of new technologies and get vertical growth in business.
• Align Towards Performance Marketing-first Culture: The BOT model can foster Performance Marketing strategy and help you achieve tremendous results.
• Greater Control Over Operations: The BOT allows you to take full control and utilize the team/specialist in the best manner and ensures all policies in compliance and security, etc., are strictly adhered to.
• Flexibility: BOT gives you the flexibility to adapt to the changing landscape. You can modify and align your Performance Marketing with any changes.
