While many still rely on traditional forms of advertising, 97% of consumers go online to search for local businesses. Digital marketing is a cost-effective, scalable, and measurable way of tapping into five billion internet users worldwide.
To do so, you need to create your online presence—a collection of activity and content that represents your business to other people on the internet. Building an online presence is a specific subset of digital marketing that focuses on three main features: your website, social media, and search engine optimization.
Customers can find you easily
81% of consumers start their purchasing journey with online research. So, with an online presence, your business can be quickly found by prospects in their search for a product or service.
While many businesses now start online, brick-and-mortar businesses need to build an online presence to bridge the gap for potential customers. This way, all people would need to do is search for your website or social media, which can then influence their decision on a purchase from your online platform or physical store.
This also makes your business accessible 24/7 for convenient selling. Lastly, having an online presence provides a greater audience reach since people outside your local area can find your business. Thus, your customer base can increase.
It’s a low-cost marketing strategy
Traditional marketing—such as print ads, billboards, or TV commercials—costs a lot of money compared to digital marketing. For example, you need about $2,000-$160,000 to run a print ad but it only costs around $1,000 to $7,500 per project to promote using your online presence.
Having an online presence can improve how you showcase your products or services using online portfolios, social media photos, YouTube and TikTok videos, as well as paid ads and targeted ads. You can also gain referrals by getting social proof through customer reviews.
Through these online platforms and tools, you can also market your company’s brand to help sell your product/service, especially to the growing population of brand-conscious consumers. They allow you to use your brand voice to relate to customers and provide a human touch even in a digital space.
It improves customer experience
An online presence provides a stimulating and fun way to connect with your target audience by posting useful and interesting content on your website or social media. It also presents more ways to build relationships with prospects and customers.
You can interact with them through chat, comments, likes, reposts, etc. The more ways you have to reach them, the easier it is to maintain their interest. Online platforms like Facebook even allow you to build and manage an online community for your business.
