effective digital marketing tactics which will get your business booming:
Tactic #1:
Create Shareable Content
All saleable products in the market are attached to a product
tagline and a product description. In today's age of online business, these two
attributes should be created intelligently and marketed to the hilt. The
targeted audience should identify themselves with the shared content in terms
of lingo and images which will lead to high organic growth through shares and
re-shares. There's no better publicity today than a content that has gone
viral. The success of an advertising campaign on online domain depends on the
quality of targeted content created, more than the quantity.
Tactic #2: Optimize content for better website
indexing
Search Engine Optimization is the buzzword for today's business.
The importance of creating a wonderful content will be lost if your content is
swamped by millions of better ranked websites across all search engines.
Visibility is a keyword today. Use of geographical area specific keywords can
show sizable impact on website rankings within the first six months and after
that there is no looking back. Optimization for targeted keywords is an ongoing
process to maintain high rankings across all search engines.
Tactic #3:
Focus on Organic Social Media
The importance of social media can no longer be ignored in
today's digital age. Existing statistics say that almost 70% of consumers like
to use social media for customer support and brand engagement. Investment in
social media is an investment in maintaining brand equity and reliability. Appearance of advertisements or articles in
the social media feed improves the chances of customers considering your brand
when they actually think of buying a particular product. Sites and products
shared by their friends and peers highly impact the buying behavior of avid
social media users.
Tactic #4:
Have a web design focused on client
conversion
Bounce rates are one of the
most important terms you will come across when you deal with your marketing
strategy analysis. Retaining your
customer and engaging with them are fare tougher than bringing them to your
site for the first time. If customers
can't find the exact products they came
looking for in your site within the first few seconds, they will immediately
click on the back button and go to the next website on the search engine. This
will increase your bounce rate along with wasting all efforts you made in
improving your website ranking. Proper care should be taken into improving the
website loading time, user interface and user experience once a client lands on
a website.
Tactic #5:
Run A/B Split Tests Regularly
Without
periodic testing and reviews, a digital marketing strategy is bound to fail.
Techniques for search engine and social media optimization get updated very
frequently and you have to be on your mark lest you be left behind. A benchmark
analysis of website performance against all performance metrics is an absolute
must. A periodic review of performance of your nearest rivals against the same
metrics also gives you valuable business insights.
