Some of the advantages of digital marketing:
-
Simple to Measure – Unlike traditional methods, you can see in real time what is working or not working for your online business and can be adapted very quickly to improve your results. To measure traffic to your site, you can use Google Analytics to measure the specific goals you want to achieve for your website or blog and most packaged email marketing solutions provide a good idea of how many people are opening, reading, and converting your emails.
-
Level playing field – Any business can compete with any competitor, regardless of size, with a solid digital marketing strategy. Traditionally, a smaller retailer would have a hard time matching the delicacy of accessories and accessories from its larger competitors. Online, a clean, well-thought-out site with a smooth customer journey and great service is king, not size.
-
Real-time results – You don’t have to wait weeks for your business to improve like you would have to wait for a fax or form to be returned. You can see the number of visitors to your site and the growth of your subscribers, peak trading hours, conversion rates and much more with the touch of a button.
-
Reduced cost – Your business can develop your online marketing strategy for very little cost and can potentially replace expensive advertising channels.
-
Branding – A well-maintained website with quality content targeting needs and adding value to your target audience can provide significant value and lead generation opportunities. The same can be said for the use of social media channels and personalized email marketing.
-
Refine your strategy: Basically, anything you capture in your customer journey can be informed and refined for greater success at a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing. After all, how annoying it is to get a couple of forms returned in the mail. Online marketing allows you to refine your strategy at any time and see any improvement or opportunity for further refinement almost instantly.
-
Much Greater Exposure – Your business can be seen anywhere in the world from a marketing campaign, the cost of doing this using traditional methods would be considerable. Also, once you have optimized the keyword search content on your website, you should see a long-term return on your investment and it will be quite inexpensive to maintain your ranking.
-
Increased engagement: With digital marketing, you can encourage your prospects, customers, and followers to take action, visit your website, read about your products and services, rate them, buy them, and provide feedback that is visible to your market. So it doesn’t take long for good advertising to improve your business prospects.
-
Non-Intrusive: I know most people hate getting sales emails or phone calls at inopportune times about things they have little interest in. People online have the option to participate or not receive communications and it is often relevant because they were the ones who sought it out in the first place. Also, have you ever been frustrated when receiving a regular email on a topic that interests you and adds value to you? Neither do I, so don’t underestimate the power of market segmentation and personalized marketing.
-
Viral – How often do your customers and prospects instantly turn over your sales brochures? Online, the use of social media share buttons on your website, email, and social media channels allows your message to be shared incredibly fast – just look at how effective it is for sharing breaking news. A word of caution though, bad news can travel much faster, so make sure you have a risk management strategy in place to address negative press as soon as it is distributed.
