The world of internet marketing is here to stay. We are all connected globally 24/7. That is why businesses have to make their digital presence as powerful as possible. This is how our slogan evolved “Everywhere you need to be”.
The goal of digital marketing is for the consumers to find your business and vice versa. Digital marketing allows any business to use different methods such as websites, social media, videos, display marketing, emails and other forms of electronic technology to connect with their existing and potential customers. According to statistics, 72% of adults use social media, 90 % use emails and over 64% of traffic comes from Google searches. Regardless of numbers, how many people do you know who don’t have a smartphone? Can you count anyone in your social circle that does not have a social media account? Not many I suppose. The WWW has put the world at people’s fingertips which is why it is important for business owners and managers to come up with a strong digital presence that reaches the prospective consumers as successfully as possible.
An effective digital marketing strategy should include:
- Definition – clear business goals
- Research – know your market and target audience
- Strategy – a defined plan to reach your goals
- Implementation – the tools, people and skills to drive the strategy
- Analysis – thorough and detailed analysis of the strategy and not only having the eye but also the ability to improve upon success
- Unity – Each division of the business working together and communicating effectively
Of course, digital marketing tactics are not easy and every business/industry is different and has diversifying requirements. It is important to understand that there is no one-size fits all digital marketing strategy that can deliver the desired results across the board. The strategy used for a pay-per-click campaign is not applicable for social media marketing. Same holds true even within the same digital marketing channel. A strategy on Facebook or Twitter that works well for a charity will not be suitable for an accountant, but both can generate great business from these channels.
