The beginning of a new era, the digital era!
We are living in an age where everything has moved from physical to digital and marketing is no exception! Without a doubt, digital marketing has taken over almost the entire marketing industry and that’s the reason why businesses had taken a dramatic shift towards creating their digital presence; websites, portfolios etc. in order to remain competitive and cope up with an ever-changing digital climate not so long ago. Gone are those days when traditional marketing mediums like television, print, radio etc. were the only sources through which you could create awareness about your products and services etc. These communication mediums were expensive, time-consuming, which means small and medium-sized businesses had very little or no resources to create ads or initiate marketing campaigns.
What else?
As soon as we stepped into an era of digital marketing, marketing got better and fiercer, which means competitive companies got into brand wars and started to create short yet crisp innovative ads on websites and digital networking sites in order to draw the attention of potential customers and win sales leads. So, what it tells us is that SMEs now have cost-effective alternatives like websites, blogs, portfolios, social profiles etc. to market and promote their offerings on the internet. In today digital age, companies can’t survive without making their way to create digital or social media presence.
“Digital marketing is the lifeblood of every business—small or large, and it’s a facet of your business you need to continuously stay on top of.” Godfrey Parkin
Why Invest In Digital Marketing And What Makes Marketable Content—The King?
The internet will continue to expand and probably never going to lose its charm as long as humans are alive and the world is intact. A much more precise audience will help engage more customers, drives sales and hence increase revenues and profits. Where traditional marketing has a limited reach, digital marketing reach is practically unlimited. This indicates that the right website or keywords’ optimization on web search engines can bring your website on the top of search results, boost your connectivity, help you reach out to more customers, and hence impact the right audience. Since the content is the king, so you need to continuously come up with a unique content that is relevant to the marketing strategy you intend to create. The point is, an engaging CTA (Call to Action) content helps you to get connected with your audience emotionally, which ultimately builds a strong brand-customer relationship.
Content Is the Reason Search Began!
Even if you have old content that is still quite effective since it has already been able to create an impact on your audience, so don’t forget to beef up your existing marketing efforts with digital marketing strategies in order to help maintain your sustainable competitive advantage. How to grow your business through digital or social media marketing is an interesting statement, to which people may have different answers to.
As far as my opinion is concerned, it’s all about putting your customers first and playing nicely on the playing field and the field is the internet.
Takeaway: Digital marketing gives SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) chance to compete and attract new customers, delivers high-level conversions, better yet cost-effective than traditional marketing, helps generate better revenues, provides greater connectivity and facilitates interaction with targeted content and audience. Also, it helps builds brand reputation, provide better ROI, earns people trust and entices the right audience to take favorable action.
