Digital marketing has been around for a long time now but it is still found that very commonly, companies carry out digital marketing efforts without actually building a solid strategy. This lack of planning leads to ineffective marketing and loss of investment in terms of the money spent on the same. This can be avoided by outsourcing the task of digital marketing to experts in the field. But first, you must understand what the landscape of Digital marketing is shaping into now.

Let’s take a look at what makes it to the top of our list of digital marketing imperatives this new year.

Good Content

You must be wondering why we added this, oh-so-obvious point to our list. Well, it’s quite simple. Content is king and will always remain. Good content has the power to capture the interest of your audience, keep them engaged and get them to your doorstep. No, we aren’t making lavish exaggerations.

Content is the way you converse with your audience. Through the humdrum of the digital interface, it is your chance to connect with your audience.

Therefore, you must ensure that you are creating and putting out quality content that is capable of appealing to your target audience.

Artificial Intelligence

Now here’s an avenue that is brand new and is taking on the market in waves. More and more businesses are using the data they have effectively, using artificial intelligence.

Say you run a business that gets most of its leads online. You have the power to identify details about the source of leads and traffic to your website with such precision that it can open up brand new avenues for you to understand your customers and pitch to them in a way that appeals to them. Dynamic content is something that can be used to its full strength through data analysis. Similarly, you can use AI & machine learning to help you score the edge with predictive lead generation.

Chatbots

This one takes us back to what we already mentioned about maintaining a healthy conversation with your audience. Assume you’re a random internet user who stumbled upon the business website. You have read all the content on the website and you have imbibed all that you can from the content that is presented to you. Now you have questions and a lot of them. Since we move so fast in our digital world, you want those answers quickly, preferably now.

Now that’s where a chatbot could mean the difference between landing a lead or losing the attention that you’ve gained from a potential customer. Creating a chatbot for your website can allow your customers to understand your product better and have their queries resolved instantly.

Influencer marketing

Influencer marketing is the fastest way to grab eyes and bring people to your business’ social media pages or your website. A Social Media Influencer is a user who has established credibility in a specific industry. They have access to a large audience and can persuade others towards or away from products and businesses thanks to the trust and reliability they have built up in the social media community.

Having an influencer endorse your product or business is a quick way to give your business the push it deserves.

Social Media Live

Hosting scheduled live sessions on your business’ social media handles such as Facebook and Instagram can help you build healthy conversations with your target audience. It is also important to make a formal announcement that you will be hosting a live session. You can then go live and have a rich Q & A session with your audience and engage them in a way they will appreciate to the fullest.

When it comes to digital marketing, new options are found every week and newer avenues are opened up for your business. Now is the best time to invest in digital marketing and take it by the flood.

This new year, let’s take a good luck at our options and make the best of all the opportunities we have with digital marketing. Learn about digital & more by connecting with us at www.pravinchandan.com
