Digital Marketing has gained tremendous growth over the past few years and the current pandemic has forced even the traditional businesses to go online making digital marketing even more challenging. There is so much information floating around the internet making it so overwhelming on what to do, how to do, and where to start. Some people end up doing one thing like Facebook Ads Campaign or the other like only Email Marketing and complain that digital marketing is not productive or the ROI is very low.

In reality, Digital Marketing is an artwork, which when connected together produces a beautiful piece of work.

Let's start with understanding the fundamentals of digital marketing

Law of Marketing

Marketing is to generate sales, build a customer base, and brand reach. We need to understand the target audience's needs, build a product to meet their needs, and keep giving them value so they keep coming back to us. We should give them what they want and not what they will desire because the growth over that is slow but effective while the latter is temporary and not repeat. So its good to focus on one thing that the customer wants rather than providing the unwanted value which has no market.

The effort that you put through generating a sale should be doubled to keep the customer who already has purchased your product through marketing. A good ad with attractive copy-writing gets good reach in an ads campaign and starts generating sales which in then creates a bigger market reach and visibility.

Branding

Identify how you want to position your brand in the market. Find out the unique selling point which makes your brand stand apart from other brands. Work on that and develop a strong brand reflecting the values, quality, and service.

Effective Communication

Be a voice to your customer's questions about your product even without them having to ask you the question first place. Keep the communication very clear so they know what they are looking for in your brand very clearly. Don't let them assume things about your product and end up underdelivering.

Talk about the brand, the value, the efforts you put into creating the product, behind the scenes of work, and let them relate to your brand in all ways possible which ties them closely to your brand.

"A Good Relationship Starts with a Good Communication"

Build relationships which last with your consumer to gain brand power.

Global Economics

Always be informed on what's happening around the world to make informed decisions as global economics plays a vital role in the financial planning and development of the products.

Direct Response Marketing

We should know the results of a campaign that we run. The campaigns which we do not know the effectiveness are useless. The metrics are very important and we should know how to read them, suit them according to the budget and generate results.

Measurable results are important for business sustainability and growth.

From my marketing experience, even I was one among those trying to excel while focusing on only one part of marketing. For example, I was generating good traffic by running paid Facebook ad campaigns, while the captured target audience was not retargeted via email marketing or any communication to build trust and convert them to customers. So what was actually happening here was the efforts of marketing was one way and costing more without having long term results.
