7 Online Digital Marketing Tips

Tips To Help Businesses Embrace Online Digital Marketing

1. Online Digital Marketing is the EXACT same as marketing your business offline. So whatever you do offline you should reflect this online. Visitors to your business premises probably receive some form of "marketing collateral" eg Brochure, Flyer, Business Card etc.

Examples 

Own a bricks & mortar store selling products? Reflect this online, with a website that also sells these products online ie an eCommerce store.



OR 

Home Improvements company selling Conservatories or Kitchens and you have a showroom? Then you could promote this online with a Virtual Tour or Video Tour, Promotional Video on your website, Facebook  and YouTube Channel. 

If you give out brochures to visitors to your business location you should also be promoting this online.

We can assist you with all of this!


2. Ensure your website (and we hope you have one of these, this is a priority in this day & age every business should have, at the very least a website) but it should be a Mobile Responsive Design Website or Mobile Optimised. This means that if your visitors are viewing via a smartphone (eg i-Phone, Android etc)  if visitors have to pinch the screen or scroll horizontally to read your web content, that is not good enough. You need a new website which is a mobile responsive website to view an example visit www.craftsmancladding.co.uk via a smartphone 

We can help you by converting your current website, if it is CMS or a brochure site we can convert it to be mobile responsive. So that all the web copy content fits within your screen size to view an example visit www.corriedmarketing.co.uk



3. Ensure you have a branded & customised Social Media Network for your business, we recommend the big 6 - Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest and YouTube. These are great for those all important Social Signals and organic SEO as Google rewards traffic flowing from your website to your Facebook, Twitter to your blog etc.  Also think of each one of these networks as your advert within the network so your Twitter page is your ad on Twitter etc. It is not enough to have a social network you must also post to it and often but more importantly be relevant. Use the 3 E's of Social Media Marketing - Educate, Entertain and Engage. 

(i)   Educate
(ii)  Entertain
(iii) Engage

4. You need an audience to market to. Use Facebook Ads to drive traffic to your website. Or you can use Facebook to promote your page on Facebook to increase your likes. Facebook offers highly targeted and cost effective advertising when done correctly. Use Facebook Custom Audiences which means you can upload your database (as long as they are opt-in's) to Facebook and deliver your ads directly in front of your list and no-one else.

6. Use Programmatic Guaranteed To Purchase Impressions
