Life goes on, even during a pandemic. Business is still done, it is just done in new ways or different ways. The Internet has become more important than ever before, and the one thing the Corona Pandemic is teaching us is how important digital marketing is. The importance of digital marketing has always been great, but none more so than at this time. Everybody is using the Internet. If you have a product to sell, whether it is Covid-19 related or not (masks, visors, healthy food, food deliveries), the Internet is your best business partner.
Use Professional Digital Marketers
A digital marketing campaign needs to be strategic and holistic. It needs to be able to identify the target market of the product – age group, demographic, city, country – and what their needs are. Any digital ads that are created, must be directed at that demographic. Ads should be simple – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter – and they must be clear and concise. People have short attention spans these days – they want to look at something and see immediately what is for sale. They want to be able to click easily on the ad and be led to the website. Professional digital marketers know how to do this, quickly, easily and successfully.
Websites
Because the Internet is so widely used now, for everything, almost every business needs a website. A website does not have to be complicated. It must be easy on the eye, include good content with excellent SEO, and have high quality images. Video may be important, depending on the product being sold. The website should have buttons that lead to social media platforms, as well as BUY now buttons. The reason most businesses have a website is for that reason – for clients to buy, sign up, give an email address, or similar. Get a professional digital website designer to do your site – it can be done remotely, especially in this time of Corona – and professionals will always make good use of SEO.
Costs of Digital Marketing
The importance of digital marketing does not have to be expensive. Pay-per-click campaigns are the most cost-effective campaigns, and if the marketing is strategic, your PPC campaigns will work. It’s important to use analytics such as Google analytics or Facebook analytics, and again, this is why you use professional digital marketing people. Analysis can tell you when a campaign is working, who is looking at it, who is looking but not clicking through, and give you a clear indication of which ads are working for you. If you have something to sell, be it fruit, vegetables, website development, clothing or books, or more, use digital marketing. It is the best way to market your products, now, during a time of crisis, but at all times too.
