The Top 5 Marketing Tips

Mobile Accessibility and Optimization -More and more shoppers are turning to using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to research a product, compare deals, finding a retail outlet – and most importantly, make a purchase. As people become more tethered to their mobile devices, marketers are specifically looking to engage millennials in hopes of turning them into lifetime customers.Almost three-quarters of millennials admit to never being without their phones and at the same time, this digital generation is expecting a lot more engagement from their brands. In 2016, mobile marketing is predicted to surpass $100 billion in spending and account for more than 50% of all digital spending for the first time, according to eMarketer. In fact, there are some predictions being made saying that mobile will completely overtake desktop next year. So, get with the program or get left behind.
A Refined Social Media Presence -As I’ve said before, having a constant social media presence is vital to the survival of your business. I don’t think I know of any company or small business without a social media presence – and in 2015/2016, not having it means you’re probably out of business by now. The simplicity of building a Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn presence can sometimes give brands a false sense of security and confidence. Companies need to always keep in mind that social media shouldn’t be used for self-promotion but rather as a way to engage users and build brand trust.
Content Is Still King -While more brands are resorting to visuals to get customers engaged, content is still where is at. Developing quality content should be seen as a priority for any company, regardless of industry. Content marketing provides information to current (and potential) customers in order to build trust, develop the brand and ensure your brand is considered an expert in a specific subject matter. Content will continue to reign as the most-often used way to connect with consumers as they look for more, better, and faster. Quality content generation also gives a bit of a boost in search engine ranking, but content’s main power lies on the effect it has on the perception of your brand. According to a Content Marketing Institute survey, 80% of business decision-makers prefer to get company information through a series of articles, compared to an ad. Seventy-eight percent of consumers believe that organizations providing customized content are building better relationships with them, while 58% of consumers consider companies that produce video content to be more trustworthy.
Improve Your SEO - SEO, Search Engine Optimization, is a game-changing tool for marketers. Prioritizing visual content on your website adds the benefit of building your SEO ranking. Visuals such as pictures, infographics and video are much more engaging than any plain text and therefore make a search more relevant to any consumer. Pictures are worth a thousand words, but video can be “worth 1.8 million words,” according to a Forrester study.Engaging visuals can also increase the chances users will “linger” on your page longer, but you must supplement your page with optimized descriptions, alt tags and targeted keywords – all imperative in having an effective SEO strategy. Think about it this way, most people won’t get past the first page when they conduct their search; therefore, if you’re not on ‘page one,’ you might as well be invisible. Don’t be invisible!
Brands Must Get Personal -Social media, new mobile technology and other types of digital communication have made us a big, online community with an explosion of online interaction. Yet, while we are being more social, we are still a bit apprehensive about giving our information away. So what’s a brand to do? Get personal! According to the Direct Marketing Association, 76% of consumers will share personal information with a brand if they believe it will improve their experience and interaction. By collecting key data from consumers, such as past customer purchases, newsletter sign-ups, discount offers and social media, companies are able to build profiles offering targeted content and incentives to purchase.
