Let's start with the basics.
ROI optimized Website
The first step to your online journey begins with a website. Website is a must for every Business to start building an audience on marketing fronts, including Google SEO, social media, and others.
Getting a website is easy, but a common mistake done by startups and Businesses starting to build an online presence is making a standard portfolio website talking about their services.
Your Website is equivalent to your office in the online world, and just like a brochure, it is the first point of contact for every one of your potential customers. Everything from the copy of your Website to graphics and the structure should be optimised for conversions. Here are the things to keep in mind while you are getting your Website made:
- Copywriting on your Website should be to the point and effectively communicate your message to the prospect
- UX (User-experience) should be smooth, and there should be minimal friction for users to take action
- The graphics should be engaging enough to hold the attention of the prospective client
- Relevant call to actions should be present at most touchpoints
- Optimization factors for E-com websites should be integrated like social proof, offers, countdown timers and others
Apart from these, there are factors specific to your Industry which must be taken care of to engage users and create a never-ending pipeline of leads from your Website.
The power of Social Media
Social media is the present and future of Businesses all over the world. Large companies are putting in efforts, and most of their marketing budgets to win on social media.
If you are starting out with social media, start by creating profiles on:
- Youtube
All your profiles must be optimized for high-quality content and branding assets. All these platforms are unique in concept, and that should be kept in mind while creating content.
You should then draft the perfect social media strategy for your brand, which covers regular content posting. Social media platforms attract billions of users that surf these platforms daily. With thoughtful and engaging content, you can attract unlimited leads.
Providing value to users and then offering solutions is the way to winning social media in modern times.
Inorganic (Paid) marketing channels
Your digital marketing strategy should comprise two main headings: Organic and inorganic.
Both require different kinds of efforts, but the most significant difference is in the time duration in which you get results. You can generate results quickly with inorganic methods compared to organic methods which take time!
Organic methods like Social media and SEO should be done consistently while you will have to put in a lot of time and effort into planning inorganic marketing.
The best channels you can start with, which will give you excellent results with small budgets are Facebook and Google Ads.
These both form the most prominent online advertising platforms used by almost all the leading brands to bring in leads and sales.
- You can easily start with Google search ads for competitive keywords related to your products/services. These will give you hot leads on a limited budget
- Another medium that you can easily leverage is Facebook Ads on which you can create a simple ad for your product or service and get loads of leads and sales, thanks to all the attention on the platform
