I've hired plenty of shop help, but never any office people. I have outsourced website stuff which has gone OK, but I have numerous different products in different industries that all could use better online presence. I would rather be in the shop than stuck in the office.
I try not to do retail stuff over the phone, saving my phone time for after sale support when email isn't working. I can't just not have a phone number (tried that) and some people go irate if they can't talk to a person.
I'd like to hire a person full time to do all the online stuff. Could also include uploading/editing/shooting marketing videos, fielding phone calls (not many), helping out with packaging/shipping.
Would these responsibilities be appropriate for one person to handle?
What would I call a position like this?
Does anyone else have experience hiring for a similar position- How did it go?
