Basics of Digital Marketing

How will you connect with the people you are trying to sell your product to? With so many companies and entities online now, digital marketing is becoming increasingly popular and effective. There are many different means in which you
can market your product, here we will discuss some of the most popular ways.

Social Media

Facebook alone has more than 2.9 billion monthly users. Especially due to the recent Covid-19 outbreak, many people were trapped at home scrolling through social media and other forms of entertainment. This is an incredible resource to be used. Due to modern technology and “cookies”, social media can now create a personalized profile for your accounts and advertise targeted to your interests.

Word of mouth

Possibly the best of all marketing. Why? Because it is completely free. If you can get your friends and family to talk about your product, the word gets out without you having to force or pay for it. If this continues, people will visit the fronts of their stores or websites. They will look for you, instead of vice versa. This result can come from a variety of different media; However, the best way is to identify your target market and focus on connecting with them. Depending on your product, this will appear differently. If your target market is an older generation, they’re more likely watching Hallmark or Golf than scrolling through Instagram or watching Twitch. Make sure you reach the right people.

Website

Is a social media account enough? Simply put, no. Your social media account and social media ads should target those with whom you are trying to connect to a website or store. People are looking for a simple, fast and easy way to buy a product. If it is too complicated, they will lose interest and you will lose business. Your account or ad must be linked to your personalized, professional-looking website. There, they should be able to buy products or contract services. If you’ve never created a website, that’s fine. As I mentioned earlier, there are people there to help you. Many companies are there to help you set up and maintain your website and provide professional advice on how you could improve the digital side of your business. They can help you get up and go out the right way, right from the door.

Once you have your idea of the product, you should spread the word. Find those you are trying to reach, connect with them via the desired pathways, and channel them to your website.
