We'll be honest with you (because that's how we always do things around here) we'll be talking more about the pros rather than the cons of hiring graphic designers - and for very good reasons.

First, because we don't want to sound hypocritical and talk about the cons of graphic designs when in fact, Graphic Zoo is a graphics company. Second, there really are more advantages to hiring graphic artists and if you won't take our word for it, you can always read on various reviews and success stories made by different business enterprises and enthusiasts that have been satisfied (not to mention, enriched) by the use of professional graphic services. Lastly, we simply believe that entrepreneurs ought to know how good graphic materials can influence the way their businesses grow - and that is something we always hope for our clients as we carefully weave and create the right kind of material for them.

Time and time again, we'd see articles and blogs on how people should do DIY jobs and put their own creativity to work in order to accomplish certain tasks - even on graphic concerns such as logo making or digital ad presentations. With the widespread use of the internet, learning materials are readily available everywhere helping people out with certain dilemmas they have with day to day living. Doing things yourself is nice and all but this only works for some people - particularly those that have time to spare and energy to exert. But for the rest of us busybodies, time is gold (literally).

Very well, without further ado here are the pros and cons of hiring a professional graphic designer:

Pros

Get a load off your shoulders.

Being in business is no easy task. It requires a lot of time, energy, and of course – effort. Having to think, plan out and maybe even lay-out your next big marketing campaign is a little too much for just one person to handle. Having a team to work on it when you’re not around would be a more viable option.

Experienced professionals do it best

You may have the idea but the materialization of that idea is an entirely different thing. It would require a good set of hands and wit to put it all into action. What better way to get the best work than hire experienced workers? Always remember, if you’re going to invest in something – go big. It’s not worth investing in something mediocre and regret it later.

Make use of the extra time to do more important things.

Working 24/7 is a dying fad already. Productivity is now more focused on doing the most in the least amount of time possible. Work isn’t everything in your life. You have family, friends, hobbies, and other things you should prioritize. Having excellent people working for you gives you little or even nothing to worry about when you’re out having fun.

Work accountability

If you opt to do everything yourself and it turns out okay then that’s great. However, if your workload is too much and one of your graphic activities fail because of lack of preparation, who’s to blame? Hiring professionals displace part of the responsibility as to how a job will turn out away from you. The success of your marketing endeavors will not solely be placed on you and your decisions; part of it will go to how well your working hands will perform.

Multi-tasking is not always a benefit.

Contrary to popular belief, recent researches would tell you that multitasking is not always a strength. It is found that although more tasks get initiated, most of it does not get done in time or does not come out properly.

Cons

Costs are inevitable.

If you are to expect good work, also expect to shed a little more out of your pocket. Do not go for cheap offers that you’d have to redo over and over again – this incurs even more costs and time as well. Find a blend of skill and value. And just between us, I think you already have.

Investing in the wrong provider may not yield significant results.

It pays to stay well-informed. Before jumping into any contracts, make sure you’ve tested the waters. Many firms are great at selling themselves but fall short of expectations. You should always do a background check. Wrong providers may affect you not only in financial terms; it may impact your company image negatively as well.
