If you are not actively trying to create a stronger online presence, as a business owner, you lose out on potential sales and loyal customers. So you have one (a great business that is) and it’s online. Your website is built, looks good, is well populated, well managed but it has one big problem! It isn’t bringing in consistent leads to grow your sales pipeline! Well, then what’s the point of it right? RIGHT! So what are the best digital marketing strategies to start growing your online presence?

A website that isn’t bringing in consistent leads is just not that valuable. I like to think of a website as an online ATM (Automatic Teller Machine). Essentially you can develop a virtual platform that generates consistent sales and cash flow to fuel business growth. The problem is that there are many websites out there that show off the business in a pretty way, but don’t result in tangible or financial gains.

Your website is just another page on the internet. But without a well-defined strategy and good implementation, unfortunately, your business will not generate the leads and sales that it hopes to online. You don’t want to be part of the crowd. You want to be the leader in your industry and the place where your audience comes to for solutions to their needs.

Having a strong online presence is a crucial component of your marketing strategy, no matter what size your business is or what industry it belongs to.

The 3 strategies you need just to get started online

1. Develop well-defined customer profiles so you clearly understand the exact needs and pain-points of your market. This profiling step must also include research on which digital platforms they frequent.
2. Build a website that meets modern standards and is user friendly. Also, establish a presence on all the social media platforms that your market enjoys using or typically looks for information.
3. Map out the customer journey your typical user will take throughout their journey from prospect to customer. Integrate analytics platforms to monitor the marketing metrics that matter so you can track and monitor success along the way.

An online presence is becoming increasingly important as more consumers turn towards online sources of information. If you are reading this blog then I assume you are wanting to either pivot a traditional business to take advantage of the benefits of online marketing, or you have already established an online presence and are now wanting to maximise the benefits and improve your business online.

How DIGIPIV can help you improve your online presence

My question to you is simple. Who is managing all your digital marketing platforms? Who is in control of your website, your blog, your social media, your analytics dashboards, your email marketing and the integration of all these moving parts? Maybe it’s you or your in-house team. So, then what’s the problem?

It could be as simple as a lack of knowledge and skills, on what to do next. I’m not going to lie, digital marketing is tricky. It changes on a regular basis, and the way customers make decisions nowadays seem more random than ever before. If you don’t have highly skilled people behind your digital marketing efforts, you aren’t going to see the results you’d like. This is where DIGIPIV steps in to save the day.
