It’s 2019 so what’s the latest update as far as online marketing is concerned?

ONLINE MARKETING UPDATE

But before that, let’s do a refresher on the subject “online marketing”

“Online marketing is a set of tools and methodologies used for promoting products and services through the internet. Online marketing includes a wider range of marketing elements than traditional business marketing due to the extra channels and marketing mechanisms available on the internet.” – techopedia.com https://www.techopedia.com/definition/26363/online-marketing

Let’s Refresh our Strategy

BUILT TRUST

It’s still important as always to build trust. This is where all successful online transactions are made from. Building trust is not an easy feat. It takes a considerable amount of time to achieve. Growing your brand goes hand in hand with building your trust.

So how do you build trust? It’s always one to one. One transaction at a time. A single communication can either build you up or destroy you. Here’s my takeaway on this.

• Provide Valuable Content
• Share Trustworthy Links
• Be Consistent

OFFER VALUE

If you want to stay on top and ahead of the pack, then don’t forget to ALWAYS offer value.

Offering value in marketing means “going the extra mile” .

“The good news is that you can provide this value with something as simple as an insightful, informative blog post or podcast that helps them solve a problem. You offer this value for free and with no strings attached to begin a healthy and mutually beneficial relationship.” – dummies.com

ENGAGE

It pays a lot to know what stage or journey your customer is on. Effective engagement will result in guiding him further into the funnel.

Your engagement is vital every step of the way, whether answering his queries, offering insights or even as simple interaction will ultimately build a lasting bond.

Now as far as updates is concerned, the most obvious is with how quickly technology has improved to make it easier for any online marketer to avail of this for his advantage.

Mobile vs Desktop

Just this year, mobile has overtaken the more traditional desktop in terms of usage and connectivity.

This clearly shows that technology is within everyone’s reach and can be accessed practically for online marketing purposes.

• Go the extra mile for your leads
• Be truthful
• Leverage the use of your mobile devices.
