As
traditional methods of advertisement become more and more expensive, many small
and large businesses are turning to e-marketing. E-marketing refers to using
the internet to market your business or brand. This is more often used in your
basic website to sending out emails, or in online advertisements but it can
branch out to using anything from blogging to social networking among just a
few. The benefits of e-marketing is cost
effective – you reach a large demographic of people. So as you start to wade in
the pool of E-Marketing and start your business
campaign, here are three things to remember about e-marketing so that you can
use this amazing tool to improve and make your business a success.
First, you
must remember what your ultimate goal is – to reach your core demographic and
find as many people as possible. Have a good website that is easy to navigate.
Make it appealing and informative along with entertaining and interactive.
Allow people the option to “like” your page, leave contact information and
allow them get to know what you are all about while still not bogging them down
with too much information. To keep your
website at a top rating, make sure that your web address is on as many other
websites as possible. You can use a web designer for this or hire a company to
submit your website to search engines and other websites. But this is easy to
do on your own if your budget is small. This is called Search Engine Optimization. You will want to get your website and business name out there in the
World Wide Web as much as possible.
Second, you
will want to use Social Networks. Social networks are an amazing way to have
one – on – one contact with your customers and potential customers. There is
caution when using Social Networks though. You have to remember that people can
write and interact with whatever you post on your business page. Remember, it
is a two way conversation between you and your customer – which everyone else
can see. So make sure you are always professional and only post things relevant
to your business; it would not be appropriate to post personal information or
opinions as it could detract from your true message. When you set up a business page on a social
network, it is important to you must update is regularly.
The third
important thing to remember about an e-marketing campaign is to catch the person’s interest right away. No matter if you are
sending out an email or doing a You-Tube video, you must draw the person in and
not be long and drawn out. Currently a person will lose interest and move on
within seconds so you MUST catch their interest immediately. Inform the person
right away. Give them a task right away: “click here”, “do this”, “recommend
this”, “buy this”. By doing this it forces the person to become interested and
actively involved in the process. So in essence, be short and sweet.
So whether
you have decided to embark on taking your business into an e-marketing campaign
by yourself or whether you will hire a company to so for you these three
reminders will serve you well.
