Effective and Measurable

The way you market your business can shape everything from the way your brand is perceived, to the customers you reach and ultimately, how well your business succeeds. Without being able to reach new customers, you won’t have a business for long.

Marketing can be expensive to those who don’t know what they’re doing. Options vary greatly across all B2B and social media channels which change every few months. It can be confusing, daunting and the most expensive of all choices if you don’t know what your doing.

ONLINE MARKETING

Many companies think they can figure it out as they grow – buying Facebook ads or Google ad words or grow organically with SEO. They would be wrong. Every penny counts if you ultimately want success but something as simple as your website “voice” can be a game-changer. Doing things differently and thinking creatively are some of the most important mentalities behind every successful business.

Today is all about collaborative communities, Twitter, sharing workloads and the P2P economy where every person writing a blog is a publisher and everyone renting their apartment is a mini Airbnb mogul. Online Marketing is an area where you can expand your reach and your clients just using the click of a mouse. We can show you how.

Blogging

A well-written, dynamic blog is almost a good as a podcast, the new downloadable voice attracting millions of loyal listeners each week. Finding a selection of blogs in your industry with large followings will build a strong collection of followers and become a reputable voice in your online community.

Website Search Rankings

Make sure you rank in the first page of search when people search Google. They won’t rank if you don’t have a responsive site but all new websites are now. If yours is older than 18 months, it’s time to make it responsive. This is best left to the people who do this all day long for a living unless you have programing and coders on-board.

Social Media

Get active on social media or get someone you trust who can and retain all admin logins. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube are no brainers. Instagram, Reddit, Tumblr are musts now too. Today, it’s a full time job to build your presence as you build your product. Review yours and your teams first-person network and see if you can find someone willing to write, post, share and blog in your company’s voice in exchange for equity. It’s worth the cirtifiates. Pick sites and networks that are right for you and your business and focus on them – different social networks work for different businesses. Aim for where your communities “hang out”, and where they are most active.

Other Online Communities

Engaging with forums and message-boards can really pay but be tactful. There are thousands of online communities that you can tap into – but if you’re too pushy, it can easily backfire. Stay away from promoting your business, and instead be a voice of reason and advice that people respect and want to listen to.

Building Email

Offering giveaways than are meaningful to your community on your site or via your social media accounts. You want to build your list and opt-ins. You don’t need to give away anything big or expensive either. Usually when prizes are small, people think they’ve got a better chance of winning. Sending out newsletters even just a few times a month keep able existing customers involved as sharing ambassadors.
