/in /by

Top brands with localized digital lead generation campaigns are edged over others who don’t. There is a lot of power in using local digital marketing strategies such as that deliver good results to businesses. Here are a few they suggest:

Local Content Marketing

Create engaging contents that talk about things that people would like to know. Answer their questions. Utilize corporate blogging to get your message to your target audience, and spare a few dollars ($5-$50) for promoted posts on Facebook to fuel a little social media seeding.

Partner with Local Influencers

Partnering with huge name influencers will not guarantee effectiveness and may cost quite expensive, so tap local niche influencers in your place (state or city). Also, connect with local bloggers in your area and see who has the best interest in industries such as yours. This will introduce your business to new and relevant market in your area.

Social Media Advertising

Almost everyone in the planet is on social media, so grab the opportunity of being seen and heard by the public, but most especially by the people in your circle who could possibly voluntarily share your message to their network of friends and colleagues. Social ads can help drive awareness for your brand which may affect website traffic and result to lead conversions.

Engage with Local Search Ads

Set up local search ads in Google to be listed at the top results when users search for information relevant to your business. This function will include a click-to-call link that will enable users to directly contact your business. Paid search ads operate on a CPC (cost-per-click) basis which means you pay only on the clicks your ads receive.

Mobile

Capture mobile users by capitalizing on mobile traffic. This should be a top priority in your lead generation campaign, but in order to get your desired results, you need to create a website that is at par with today’s technology designs.

Think global, act local

Coca-cola is an expert at this strategy, and they suggest:

  • Humanize the global brand with a vision and mission that inspires (and translates in) local markets
  • Reorganize for global-local alignment and relationship -building
  • Shorten the feedback loop between local and global
  • Streamline content access and guidelines
  • Focus on driving adoption of global systems and processes

7 Digital Marketing Setup Tips for Startups

/in /by

Let’s face it. The world is becoming more digital and the only way that we can survive is to adapt. A startup without a digital marketing campaign won’t fare well in the world that we live in.

In this short article, we’ll show you how you can set a campaign for your startup. It doesn’t have to be a great show of force, but it has to be present.

1. Come up with creative content.

When it comes to creative content, do not settle for good or best. You have to be extraordinary. Your content should be otherworldly and something that people can easily relate with. Sometimes, they can appear simple at first glance, but if you listen or read hard enough it will hit the right buttons.

Here are tips on how to make a creative marketing content that will stay in your audience’s mind:

  • Write something that consumers would like to read.
  • Cite current trends that they can relate with.
  • Make it sound like you are sharing new knowledge about something that you are an authority in.
  • Always try to put yourself in your audience’s shoes. Would you be happy reading what you want them to read?
  • Be casual, but confident and firm.
  • Your priority is to be able to connect with your target market instantly.

2. Create actionable content.

This simply means coming up with content that will convince consumers to respond immediately such as signing in their email addresses, opting in or liking and sharing a page or piece of information.

Actionable content should:

  • Explain to the reader/ viewer what should be done;
  • Use engaging and attractive visuals;
  • Have a personal touch; and
  • Use real-life examples so the target audience will trust you.

3. Prioritize user experience.

In this present generation of highly connected individuals, it is not enough to just catch their attention. The bigger challenge is how to keep them from abandoning your marketing initiative after taking a first look.

Consumers respond well to marketing efforts that give them a memorable user experience – something that resonates with their beliefs, principles, values, and priorities in life. That is why it is important that you do your homework – find out what tickles their fancy, what keeps them visually hooked and what makes them respond to calls to action.

4. Use social media.

You can never go wrong with your campaign when you use a social media platform – given that you have a well-planned and executed content paired with killer visuals. Maximize the reach and influence of social media platforms by creating a presence that is not easy to ignore.

  • It can easily increase sales.
  • It has the capacity to give your business maximum exposure and hihg traffic.
  • It greatly improves your search ranking.
  • It can generate quality leads.

5. Do email marketing.

This approach gives you the opportunity to connect to your target market on a more personal level. You can personalize portions of your content to make it sound like you are talking directly to the person reading it. With the right lead generation efforts, your email marketing campaign can bring in a large number of individuals willing to pay for your product.

Tips on making an email marketing campaign that will generate ideal results:

  • Think of an engaging and catchy subject line that will immediately get your readers hooked.
  • Use simple yet persuasive and impactful words.
  • Highlight the benefits that the readers can possibly experience.
  • Break up your texts by using bullet points and subheadings.
