Introduction

Most of our marketing activities are carried out online. The digital space is very dynamic and ever-evolving. It has been said that we will have to be more creative in the future. When I think about the times when digital marketing was just a bit much or rather too much, I feel like everything looks so simple now. It is easy to make the most complicated product at least not too complex but this is far from true. We have seen companies successfully implement eCommerce strategies while dealing with various other aspects of their business. For example, you might see your friend who owns a shoe store start offering some discounts and promotional offers on his shoes. You may also find those people who manage websites for various services and products. They do not stop there and many examples show how these marketers still use traditional marketing methods in today’s digital world. To give an insight into some of these traditional marketing techniques I am listing some of them here.


Traditional Online Marketing Techniques

When doing any promotional campaign online, there are certain rules and regulations as well as some good practices to keep in. One thing that can be learned from the old campaigns is the importance of “conversion rate”. Conversion rates tell us what percentage of our visitors who complete the conversion process, buy something. This tells you what percentage of all your prospects come through. There is no such thing as 100% conversion rates because it is possible to achieve great results by reaching only 2% conversions. So, to get your first customers at a minimum conversion rate is very important and if you reach less than 2% then it will lead to low sales. That means that you need to focus more on promoting the products to the right audience.

Another popular technique used by marketers is SEO. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is another form of advertising and helps to get more relevant traffic to your website. SEO helps in showing your site to the user. Apart from search engines like Google and Bing, there are third-party websites that provide information on your site. These include social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook where you can share things and get feedback. By having high search engine rankings, you should have access to a large number of users who use Google or one of its partners. However, there are chances that SEO does not work for long-term optimization. At least for small businesses. Even though most organizations try to optimize it for longer periods but with the rapid changes in technology, they eventually fail. So, there is no sense to worry about anything. On the whole, if you want an effective ROI, go for SEO services. So, in my opinion, go for SEO experts who know about different ways and techniques to improve your conversion rate.

In case you want to learn more about your competitors and what makes them successful, you can take help from bloggers. These sites offer you valuable insights into your industry. By reading blog posts the blogger can highlight the most interesting articles from other bloggers. Blogs will let you look at what they have done in past years and how that is helping them. As you can see here in the picture, there is lots of competition on the Internet and a lot of bloggers and writers share their content. Bloggers give you a window to see how others have taken steps to improve their marketing. Also, some bloggers cover specific topics, like beauty products, etc., and write articles based on their experience. These are people like Mark Cuban who started blogging. Blogging helps professionals to promote their brands.

Another way to improve your brand is through branding. If you have a logo, then you can easily market it. A good logo tells your story and will enable people to recognize and remember your company. The main goal of any business is to improve its brand image. There are many ways to achieve it but none of them are hard to do. Branding is about using different marketing channels for your brand awareness like TV ads, display advertisements, and web banners. To get an impressive online presence, you have to build strong brands and enhance brand recognition.





Social Media Marketing

Social media is one of the best ways to engage audiences. While researching social media, you have to understand what goes wrong when we talk about social media. Social media is very expensive and many companies do not want to spend money on it. So, it is better to choose social media platforms that have limited costs. After selecting the ones that you need to promote and making your profile, you can create a timeline that shows your page regularly. It will show you your followers and pages. With each post, you have to ensure that you have a compelling reason for the post and this will be followed when you publish new posts.

Another factor that you have to consider is how you want your social media followers to respond to your post. Because they are the real customers of any organization, they must like it. Make sure that you do not share unoriginal posts without clear reasoning as to why you shared them. Otherwise, they will react negatively. But the biggest reason for bad reviews is non-comprehensive content. Ensure that your social media pages have comprehensive content which gives value to your audience. Your page should always be useful for the consumer.
