Social-media marketing is becoming more and more prevalent in today’s society; however, traditional marketing strategies are still alive. The rise of multiple new social-media platforms makes it easier to spread the word about your company. Social-media marketing tools are a perfect addition to any marketing strategy and are commonly underutilized. The following are some tools that can help you optimize your exposure through social-media:
1) Go Mobile – Mobile apps are becoming a staple in the business world. There are now a variety of different apps that make marketing easier and more convenient. Creating an app is fairly low cost, yet it will have tremendous value if used in the correct manner. Building an app for your business could make an enormous difference in your exposure, by giving your customers a clear and accessible method to see what you have to offer, and even the chance to buy from the same app.
2) Utilize Email Marketing – Email marketing services provide exceptional value, especially when you are trying to reach large groups of people at once. This can be extremely cheap if done correctly. You can create your own email template, in which case you should consult with someone to ensure its professionalism and effectiveness, or you can use an existing customizable template. No matter which direction you decide to go, your goal should be to reach as many people as possible, and provide compelling content to keep the customer’s attention.
3) Learn Inbound Marketing – Inbound marketing is all content based, and utilizes tools such as blogs, videos, and newsletters to engage the public. Creating this content will be up to you, but quality content will drive traffic to your site, which can then be turned into eventual sales. This form of marketing is extremely low cost and gives you full control. Small businesses should strive to use inbound marketing as much as possible, especially at first.
