Evolutionising your Online Marketing: what the future holds and staying ahead
The main difference between traditional outsourced marketing and effective outsourced marketing
Many online marketing companies want to “revolutionise” your business. I do not like the use of that word at all. The truth is that your business has been successful to the degree that you have made the right decisions, provided the right services and products, and dealt with your customer base in the right way.
These methods, principles and standards are perhaps the most important attributes to incorporate into your online marketing strategy. We do not want to change everything, we just want to take your company values and services and make them available to people looking for you on the internet.
At Doggart Design we use the term “Evolutionise”. This communicates what we strive to do for your company in regards to its online marketing.
Today’s marketing is all about giving. People expect all the information they need to make a decision on something for free.
Our mission is to work out with you a complete strategy to market your services and products so well that the visitors have enough information to make the right decision – to contact you and start the conversion process.
Our favourite client is the business client. A company that has grown through a number of years, not too fast, but with strong foundations that requires evolutionising.
We take all the reasons why you have strong foundations and make that visible and understandable online.
We then make sure that the people that should be looking for you find you specifically and then we work to perfect the system that converts the most visitors to enquiries or sales.
The joys of modern day marketing mean that honest and exact analysis of the effectiveness of a campaign is at everyone’s fingertips. We can measure the number of people that visit and enquire from a specific advert or search term.
Today’s online marketing is all about effectiveness, efficiency and accountability.
Find a competent online marketing company that are looking out for you with the intention of doing long term business. A good consultancy will be very transparent about outside costs. Amounts paid to the search engines for pay per click campaigns, paid directory prices and they should be able to provide easy to understand data on number of visitors and enquiries and what is working and what isn’t.
I do not understand why online marketing companies do not do more of this. In our company we work the same number of hours on a given project each month, but we ensure that the ongoing strategy is made more and more effective – we stop working on ideas that do not bring in enquiries and we work harder on the successful ideas so they bring in more.
Be very wary of online marketing companies that look to change everything and “sweep clean into the 21st century”. Many of these companies have been around for 5% as long as you have and they have no idea what it takes to make a company with any sort of longevity. We have learned well from our clients and know that we must bring their practices and principles to the web, not sully their pedigree in the name of forward progress.
In the future, there will be next to no physical evidence of any work, transaction or agreement. Not a single piece of business will occur without some interaction with the internet. Word of mouth, reputation and business acumen will be reliant solely on positioning on the internet.
The way to stay ahead is to develop your real world successful actions of the past into a visible and understandable online resource that people can learn about, decide to trust, do business with, and recommend to others easily.
