Estimated read time 3 min read

Whether brick and mortar or online, any business requires a marketing strategy. An all-inclusive, comprehensive marketing strategy would thrust a business substantially to high levels of sales. This requires knowledge on social media, SEO, affiliate marketing, blogs and such.

Here are steps on how you could create a killer internet marketing strategy.

Studying your competitor

Earmark your major competitors and from their site, analyze their sales processes and the marketing strategies -that which worked in the past and the current ones. This will clearly tell you what works for your particular market.

Study your market

You must make a decision on which part of the niche market you are. Thus you’ll center your marketing strategies on that demographic and avoid dealing with all internet users. With an ideal demographic, it would be easy to target your strategy to that specific- this will ensure that you spend your budget on only the relevant.

Utilize competitors’ successful marketing strategies

From your market research, you should be able to see what strategies have worked for them and which you can apply. Follow them on Twitter, Facebook, or check their email list to see how many people follow them. If social media marketing is working, have it as your strategy. Remember, whatever you do has been done before; you can only do it differently.

Having a multi-faceted internet marketing strategy

Increasing brand recognition requires that you launch several marketing campaigns all at once. This ensures that you capture all your demographic leaving no room for the competitor. For instance, whoever is not on Facebook should get the same information where they are- probably on Twitter or even through an email.

Develop your brand name and image first

The name of your brand and the image are as important as the strategy. Pick a name, logo, trademark, a letterhead and such before launching a strategy. That will make the business recognizable among competitors. Assign someone to create interesting material on your social media accounts on a daily basis and get SEO based content that would make your site visible. Collect email lists, buy ads relevant to your market and where possible, get videos of people using your products.

Set up an analytics account to track your campaigns

Your web design company can help you set up a Google Analytics account through your main account. Creating a campaign for every facet of your marketing strategy helps you in revisiting to see the return on investment (ROI) for each.

Ideally, any strategy that you intend to spend a budget on must meet the ROI threshold. It should be well researched to ensure that it doesn’t hit back on the business hence causing damage.
