Why Juggling Vendors Costs More Than You Think

*And how a single, integrated partner can help your institution do more—with less friction.

Working with multiple vendors might seem like a smart way to cover your bases. One team for your website, another for marketing, another for social media, and maybe a few freelancers or platforms sprinkled in for good measure. But over time, the cracks begin to show. The truth is, juggling vendors often costs more than you think, in both dollars and momentum.

Here’s why.

1. Disjointed Strategy = Disjointed Results

Each vendor works in their own lane, often unaware of what the others are doing. Your brand voice shifts between platforms. Campaigns don’t sync. And key data gets siloed.

The result? Fragmented messaging and wasted opportunity.

An integrated approach ensures that:

  • Your website reflects your current campaigns

  • Paid advertisements support your SEO goals

  • Email and social media efforts feel cohesive

  • Your data informs everything, in real time

2. Time Gets Lost in Translation

When you’re coordinating between 4 or 5 partners, you become the go-between. Meetings multiply. Emails pile up. And small changes take weeks to implement across platforms.

Your internal team ends up managing vendors instead of making progress.

3. No One Owns the Big Picture

Each vendor is accountable for their part, but who is accountable for the overall experience? Often, no one.

When no single partner considers the whole customer journey, gaps often grow unnoticed. Missed cross-sell opportunities. Unoptimized funnels. Inconsistent analytics.

You’re left piecing together a puzzle that should have come assembled.

4. Hidden Costs Add Up

Multiple vendor invoices mean multiple monthly minimums, setup fees, onboarding sessions, and overlapping tools.

What looks like “spread out spend” on paper often ends up being more expensive, especially when you factor in time delays, duplication, and lost opportunity.
