Digital marketing may as well just be called ‘marketing’ these days because there really is no separation any more. Fact is, if your marketing plan doesn’t include digital, you’re in trouble.
In today’s interconnected world, customers research your company long before they get in touch with you, so it’s vital that you have an integrated digital marketing strategy in place that will not only attract people to your website, but help them along their buying process through consideration, evaluation and - ultimately - conversion.
The beauty of digital is that it doesn’t just stop there - we can turn buyers into advocates that will actively engage with your brand long after their purchase, telling your story to their own networks and bringing you lead after lead.
So we’re all agreed on the benefits of digital marketing, but how well are you actually doing? What are you measuring and how are you making sure you’re optimising your spend?
Hint: the answer is not ‘clicks and likes’ alone.
Here are our 10 metrics you need to check off to say ‘I really know my metadata from my messaging!’:
- I am kicking my website traffic goal, and it is incrementally increasing every month.
