Most folks under the age of 60 engage with social media at least once a month if not every day, the internet has changed the way we communicate with each other and how we buy our goods. The internet is part of our daily lives and most of us would be lost without using it constantly.

Digital marketing has become an essential tool for any online business and if you are not using digital marketing strategies it is unlikely you will have a successful online business.

We will discuss the best way of how to utilize digital media to both get your message out and hopefully increase revenues from your online business.

Engaging with your customers

 Digital marketing allows the online business owner to engage meaningfully with clients through direct communication on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat and others. This personal aspect of interaction makes customers more engaged and likely to complete a purchase.

The online business owner can structure effective marketing strategies through the use of social media and all this can be done at a minimal cost.

Last year 48% of all online purchases were directly correlated to Facebook ads, which is a remarkable amount of cash flowing into economies through digital marketing campaigns.

 Competing with the big names

 The cool thing about digital marketing is regardless of the size of your online business you can compete with anyone with very few exceptions.

Having this level playing field presents all kinds of profit-generating scenarios for the online business owner. 

Digital marketing also allows the business to build their brand recognition and become more proactive the same as the big names in online business.

With 80% of all web searches being conducted on smartphones then the evidence is before our very eyes of how powerful digital marketing can be.

 Targeting your audience

At one time in history companies used to take out paid advertising in trade journals and possibly newspapers, the problem with this approach is it’s not specifically targeting your audience.

With digital marketing, you can target your demographic precisely and get the message to the people you intended the message for.

There are even social media platforms for targeting potential high earning individuals. If you take LinkedIn as more than a site to find your next well-paying job it has evolved into a social media platform where messages and advertisements are targeting valuable groups of individuals.

LinkedIn is the perfect example of how targeted digital marketing works at its best.

 Getting value for money

Digital marketing does not have to be expensive, if you don’t have a budget then time and effort on social media platforms will yield results that you would not have otherwise realized.

Paid advertisement s provides a unique entry into a targeting demographics with the use of banner ads and other available tools.

Often you can select the target area and the demographic you want to target, and with one paid ad you could be hitting more than a million people.

If this ad drives a thousand more potential customers to your landing page then it’s easy to see the value in digital marketing.

 Email marketing

Email marketing campaigns can be highly personalized, the best way to conduct email campaigns is to send email drips on a regular basis, the email drips should contain basic information the user may find helpful.

The email should be succinct and no more than 200 words if you want the target to read the content.
