“Get started by making a plan and assessing the value to your business of the various online and offline tactics,” according to the SmallBizDaily.com article.
Offline Marketing: This is what’s known as more traditional marketing. It includes print articles and advertising, brochures, TV and radio, and even — dare we say it?! – in-person networking!
Non-digital forms of marketing still work, but in a marketplace that is spinning thanks to technology faster and faster every day, focusing on digital — IOHO (in our humble opinion) — is the best bang for your buck.
Online Marketing: If you have an eCommerce business, it stands to reason that online, or digital marketing, is a great option for you. You are already trying to drive Internet buyers to your website so you might as well use the strategies known to be effective. These include SEO, paid to advertise, linking strategies and email marketing.
Another huge digital marketing strategy focuses on social media. Anyone who is anyone is anyone is on one social media platform or another. You want to be where your prospects are hanging out. Believe us, you’ll find them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc.
Point of note, even if your business isn’t solely online, you have to understand that your customers are looking for you there. That being said, strategic digital marketing can drive customers to your brick and mortar establishment as well as your online headquarters.
