Problem:
Effective digital marketing requires more than merely posting a website on the Internet or paying for an advertisement on Google. Ongoing digital marketing requires in-depth research and a well-considered strategy to leverage the most effective marketing tactics for your business. Your programs should be research-supported, data-driven marketing targeted to your audience to increase leads and conversions.
Marketing is not a one-time investment! Marketing is a commitment to success so that you can keep your business top-of-mind and the go-to-source for your customers and prospects.
Solutions:
Set-it and forget-it is a great marketing strategy…..if your goal is to squander away money. Successful marketing programs should be ongoing and continuously optimized. Consider an integrated marketing approach. You may have a few important pieces of marketing running simultaneously. But are they integrated? When you approach your ongoing marketing with an integrated plan you start to see a synergistic impact on your work. Integrating marketing allows you to appreciate a greater ROI because you could potentially decrease your reliance on paid tactics once organic programs are fully optimized.
The philosophy of integrated marketing is to move away from your company being locked into a single mode of marketing and allowing it to shift based on the effectiveness of tactics, the dynamics of the phase of the plan, as well as additional changes and seasonality in the marketplace.
