It is easy to communicate through emails and instant chats and also you can use the same ways of communication to discuss projects. If needed, you can even have video calls to have face-to-face discussion. But if proximity of the agency is important then you should keep your search to the agencies available in your neighborhood.


Step 4: Match size of the agency with your project


Size matters when you’re outsourcing a big project for which you need more manpower.
