Social media marketing
The most
effective tool in the hands of a marketer is free, easily available and highly
effective if used the right way. Establishing a strong presence online is
possible through setting up social media profiles on relevant social media
channels; ones that are aligned with the nature of your business.
Being
present on social media can be highly beneficial for businesses for a number of
good reasons. First, it becomes easy for your brand to disseminate information
to your target audience. Secondly, almost all social media channels offer
insights and analytics that helps you identify the type of content that your
target audience likes consuming. Lastly, content can easily go viral on social
media, and you never know when it can be your brand going viral!
Competitor research
New players
in the market always run an in-depth competitor analysis in terms of product,
service, quality and price. But very often they forget to analyze marketing
strategies their competitors tried and tested. It is essential that you
evaluate and study your potential competitors and the strategies they use or
implement. Competitor analysis plays a huge role in improving your business
strategy and this is why brands invest in it.
Search engine optimization
The
objective of optimizing your website is to make your business discoverable to
those looking for it. Optimizing your website is as important for a startup as
it is for an established business.
The process
of SEO begins with a thorough and detailed keyword research. This keyword
research must be location specific (if the business offers its services in a
particular area). A good way to go about it is to target highly relevant
keywords with a fairly high search count.
Ideally,
every piece of content you push out to the internet must be optimized with the
keywords that you would like your business to rank on. As long as you keep your
content (and images) optimized for keywords you wish to rank on, you should be
good with your search engine optimization!
Content marketing strategy
Successful
content marketing is something that we experienced with our own brand. Once our
team understood the value of publishing keyword based, informative and useful
content that solve pain points, we knew this was the direction to head in.
The
underlying cause for successful content marketing remains the same; people who
are interested in finding a solution to a problem are willing to consume a lot
of content, based on which they plan what to do next.
If your
business offers informative, useful and unique content that is being searched
for by your target audience, your brand is bound to build a sense of trust and
authority in your domain or industry. Before you know it, relevant people will
start to notice your brand and you will soon establish your brand as a credible
source of information.
Email marketing
What is
email marketing? If you have a registered email ID, you're probably familiar
with promotional emails that you receive from multiple brands, even if they are
completely irrelevant to you. When a business starts reaching out to its
customers and potential clients via emails, it is email marketing.
Email
marketing is a quick, simple and efficient way to get in touch with potential
clients or initiate various collaborations. Email marketing tools like Mail
Chimp are easy to use and also give you access to insights that help measure
the efficiency of your campaign. This is something that does not require a huge
investment and can be easily taken up by startups.
Research and analysis
The research
sets the foundation for any type of marketing that needs to be carried out,
irrespective of whether it’s being done by a startup or a big, established
business. Research and analysis pave the way for a startup to identify the
strategies being used by their competitors. This helps you identify the kind of
strategies that you would like to try out, or not try out. Strategies that are
successful with competitors are often picked up and tweaked by startups for
their own benefit. In order to stay ahead in the game startups must invest some
of their time on market research.
Video marketing
Creating and
publishing videos is not as easy a task as creating and publishing graphics. A
lot goes into video marketing and very often, startups do not have the funds to
facilitate this. However, video marketing is one of the most important aspects
of marketing today. This is because video content is at least 5 times more
engaging than static content, enabling audiences to interact with brands for
longer and with more attention.
Videos
enable businesses to share valuable information about themselves in a manner
that is engaging but also evokes an action. Startups or businesses that are
short on funds can opt for animated videos and GIFs, instead of professionally
produced videos. In either case, videos are a great alternative for static
graphic content.
