What is Digital Marketing?
Digital marketing is quite complex, but in simple terms – is Marketing uses both online and offline means to reach out to the target audience. In general you can break these down into six categories which will be defined throughout the website. Creating content to interest your audience for your branded products or services using blogs, case studies or infographics. Social Media Marketing is limited to online activities with focus on one or more than one social media channels such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Linkedin.
Inbound Marketing Services
Also known as Content Marketing is about generating interesting content to publish on social platforms to encourage potential clients to take interest in your brands products or services. Unlike other company information, it is to attract and retain an audience and drive profitable customer action. The opposite, outbound marketing intersperses your audience with information they don’t always want which can be classed as spam.
Email Campaigns
Email marketing is a pulsating and powerful way to connect with people and incentivise customer loyalty. Still to this day, is one of the most effective ways to communicate directly with potential clients and grow your business. It has become more difficult in recent times with so much spam around, being GDPR compliant and the everyday scams.
Responsive Website Design
It all starts with your website design, this sets up your online activities, connects with your brand and acts as an information package for your clients. In many cases, companies spend their marketing budget advertising only with online platforms and do not include funds for the website design. For clients, they only see a few things, business cards, brochures and your website. There are many platforms to view a website on, from phones, mini tablets through to televisions. As a consequence your website has to be responsive to be able to work on all these platforms.
Search Engine Optimisation
Part of website design is to optimise the site for the search engines. SEO enables you to set-up the website for keywords and search terms related to your business and the products or services you supply. This is the start of the journey, getting to the top of search engines requires time, backlink building and creating useful information that people would fine useful to read.
Digital Advertising
Pay Per Click which many people use the abbreviated version of PPC, is a form of online advertising with the search engines that you only pay when someone clicks your advert. Although you can set the cost of your advert, it works by an online auction and will determine the position you obtain. In most cases, unless you’re in the top three you’ll see little traffic but an expert will find other cost effective keywords instead.
Affiliate marketing is different than PPC as you advertise on someone’s blog, social media platforms or website. The affiliate earns a commission every time someone clicks your link, sign up to newsletters or buys a product or service. It’s best to target people which share the same target market as you’re more likely to get associated business and broaden your customer base.
