Making the most out of digital marketing

With the Internet becoming more accessible daily, the number of people online is rapidly increasing.

It’s a perfect time to ensure your digital campaigns perform at the highest standard, ensuring you gain the results you need to get through these troubled times. So, how exactly can you make the most out of your digital marketing?

One of the first steps is to contact an agency (I hear Flowbird is a great one ;)) that will work alongside you, assisting you in managing and developing your digital marketing campaigns. According to Pew Research, Internet use among adults has increased by 5% in the last three years.

Whether digital or traditional methods, marketing has always been about connecting with your target audience in the right place and at the right time. You need to meet them where they already are- the Internet.

What is Digital Marketing?

Digital Marketing encompasses all marketing efforts that use the Internet. Businesses use digital media such as search engines, social media and emails to connect with prospective customers.

What will Digital Marketing bring to my company?

It will increase your possibilities of reaching customers. Think limitless. Almost every brand has a website; if they don’t, they have a social media presence or post adverts. Digital content is so common now that most consumers expect it and rely on it to learn about brands. Digital marketing allows you to become creative and experiment with tactics. We love that you can use analytic dashboards to monitor the success of your ROI and campaigns.

Does Digital Marketing Work for all businesses?

Business to business, your digital efforts are likely centred around lead generation, with the end goal being someone to speak to a sales team member. Because of that, your online strategy is to attract and convert the highest quality leads for your sales team via your website and to support digital channels. Channels like LinkedIn are valuable.

Why is it important?

Going digital will help you reach a wider audience and target prospects who are more likely to buy your product or service. It’s also more cost-effective than traditional advertising, enabling you to measure daily success. We have split the benefits into 4 for you below.

1. Targeting only those most likely to purchase: If you created an ad for TV, you would have limited control over who sees it. With digital marketing, you can target a highly specific audience. You can use social media targeting features to show your ads to a specific variable, such as age, location and interests.
2. More Cost-Effective: You can track campaigns daily and decrease your spending if things are not performing as you’d like.
3. Beat the Bigger Players: If you are a small business, you know the feeling of competing with the major brands in your industry. Strategic digital marketing offers plenty of ways to outrank more prominent players. For example, you can identify specific keywords relative to your product or service and create high-quality content to help you rank on search engines for those keywords.
4. Measurable: View all the metrics that matter to you from start to finish. You can see these in real time.
