Digital Agency Mistakes You Must Avoid at the Start!! (And How Automation Solves Them)

Starting up a digital agency is just the beginning of a long journey full of optimization of tasks and learning what works and what doesn't. It's alright to make mistakes sometimes but it's important to learn from others so that you don't have to repeat the same mistakes again, here are some mistakes that digital agencies make that you must avoid!

Mismanagement of Time

Agencies tend to spend their time on all their tasks and spread themselves too thin. Instead of mismanaging their time taking care of miscellaneous tasks, agencies should take the opportunity to automate tasks and focus on the important part of the agency - the client's needs. Tools like Subscribie help agencies automate their payment collection from clients and save time that would have been spent reminding clients to pay.

Unnecessary use of Resources

Resources like time and manpower are important to any agency. It's better to spend time working on tasks instead of spending an equal amount of time doing repetitive administrative tasks that could be automated instead. Why spend time creating invoices for clients and run the risk of errors when you can automate recurring invoices in Subscribie and even auto-calculate VAT?

Receiving Late Payments

It's OK to occasionally have payments paid late, but, it’s not OK to accept that all payments are late payments. Instead of conducting numerous follow-ups and providing lots of reminders, you should automate the task of collecting payments. Then you can spend the time saved on being more productive and providing better service instead of reminding clients to pay. It may seem like a hassle to set up a recurring payment solution and create a website, but Subscribie does all that for you in just a few minutes through automation.

An Unbalanced Mix of Self-Made and Professional Utilities

Creating from scratch is always exciting and allows you to look at problems from a perspective you would have never considered, but there must always be a balance between proprietary solutions and sale-made ones. Creating tools from scratch can help you focus on your niche but ultimately is pointless if you don't have the time to finish it or come out with an inferior solution to your tasks.

It would be tough and time-consuming to create a solution for collecting recurring payments from your clients from scratch like building a website and coding a recurring payments solution. This is why Subscribie dedicates itself to recurring payments and even automates a website so that you are ready to collect payments and don't have to waste any time.

I hope this cautionary tale gives you some insight into what you should avoid when working in a digital agency.
