4 ways to create an excellent digital marketing plan
Make a responsive website
A website acts a major marketing tool for your business. You can post all the important information related to your business on your website. Nowadays, customers expect every business to have a website. Customers can explore your website to find out all the relevant information regarding your products and services. Your website is functional 24*7. Many entrepreneurs have increased their revenues from their websites.
Become socially active
Social media is a free and an excellent platform to market your business. Today customers expect you to be socially active. You should create an account on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter (depending upon which social media site your target media uses the most) and post all relevant information regarding your business. Regularly post interactive media such as photos and videos to have more interaction. You can also interact with your customers in the comments section. For example, there are 1.4 billion facebook users in the world. Even if a 10,000 people share your page their facebook connections will also get to know about your facebook page. This will help to increase your sales. Also, you can link your website with your social accounts which can direct your followers straight to your website. This will bring more traffic to your website.
Don’t annoy your customers
The word ‘patience’ is something that a very few people understand. If you are an entrepreneur and you want to attract more customers, then stop annoying them. But how can you do that? Every entrepreneur wants to engage with their customers but sometimes they over do the ‘engagement’ part. Companies should keep an eye on what their customers are talking about and wait for the right moment to interact with them. Your engagement should be simple and value adding.
Analytics
I don’t know why but many people just ignore social media analytics. They just do a regular posting on social sites and forget to check the insights. This is wrong. You should always check the likes/comments/followers on your postings as this can help you to change your digital marketing plans and try to achieve better results. You can take the help of various analytical tools such as Python, Apache Spark, Apache Storm etc.
