Also, you can keep note of the reach of your product to the audience through digital marketing than through any other traditional marketing techniques.
How does digital marketing work?
Digital marketing services use various methods to help your product reach the right audience, which include:
Websites/Blogs
This is a platform where you can connect to your customers directly and hence it is important to have an impressive website or blog with quality content that grabs attention. Unless your customers are impressed by your website at the first site, all your efforts turn futile and you are doomed. Therefore, it is necessary to have short and precise content with keywords at the right places, impressive images matching it and few illustrations of relevant data in the form of Infographics or graphs. It is also important not to overdo it but update the contents regularly to attract web traffic. A good website or blog can attract up to 90% customers!
Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
It is a fact that about 44% of the customers begin their online shopping from search engines. But, most of them are impatient that they tend to click only those websites that appear in the first page of the search engine results. That’s when SEM becomes significant. Search Engine Marketing improves the ranking of your website in the search engine and hence attracts a larger crowd to your website through Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Pay per click (PPC). SEO considers factors such as working of a search engine, terms people search for or the key words and popularity of a search engine and then rework on the website content to obtain high ranking. PPC is where the advertiser pays the website owner, who places an ad, which is usually a display ad such as banner ads, for every click the ad receives.
E-mail Marketing
This is where you send newsletters and promotional e-mails to your customers regarding your product. It is estimated that about 40% of the people who received such e-mails have made at least one purchase in a year. Though it is found to be successful, e-mail marketing can be risky as well. Apart from you, there may be lots of other business owners who may be sending e-mails on the similar line to them and as a result, all these e-mails can get spammed. The only way e-mail marketing can really work for you is if you have a catchy subject line to the e-mail. The shorter the e-mail subject line, more are the chances for the people to open it. It is also important that your e-mails are readable in any gadget that the customers use.
Social media marketing
This is where you use social media platforms to market your business. People use social media sites irrespective of age differences and this is where you can find the type of customers of the right age group you want. Marketing through social media platforms have been found to be very successful so far. All you need is the right content describing all about your business in the shortest words possible, which can keep the audience engaged and compel them to purchase your product.
PR
PR is all about publicity. If you doubt whether PR and advertising are the same, the answer is no! There is a difference. In advertising, you introduce yourselves to the audience while in PR, a third party introduces your business to the customers, thus building an image about your business among the customers. Also, publicity lasts longer than advertising. You may have to spend to spend some money here for the press release articles, but the effort is really worth it.
