Blog Strategy

A blog provides yet another marketing and communication vehicle for a business and is relatively easy to integrate into your already existing website. It projects the personality of the organization and can help build thought leadership and credibility. A blog allows you to have fresh content and gives people a reason to return to your site. Besides informing others about company activities, you should offer some advice or help people with a need they may have.

Effective Blog practices

It is nearly impossible to stress the importance of analyzing data to measure the success of what you do online. Analytics are crucial for measuring and tracking the efficiency of your efforts over time. They help you understand your visitors, leads and prospects. They also provide you with the information you need to convert your visitors into valuable customers.

Summary - How all of this ties together

Use a dynamic blog platform like Wordpress

Create categories for your blog posts

Use SEO friendly descriptions for your blog posts

Create an editorial calendar and stick to it

Use keywords in your post headings

Make sure your blog posts have the following:

- Eye-catching title

The sum of all of these efforts is called an integrated marketing strategy.

It is now more important than ever to be collaborative in a cross-discipline marketing plan. Each discipline draws from its own strengths and energizes the brand.

Awareness is simply the process of informing the visitor about the product you are selling, the service you provide or the cause that you are passionate about. This step needs to be very brief and easy to understand, you can get into the details later. Remember that you are competing against other brands or service providers and your visitor will be visiting their website as well. Because of this it is important to highlight the benefits of your product or service right away. You will want to supplement your information with images, multimedia or any other eye catching idea that will keep your product top of mind.

SEM is a broader term than SEO. Where SEO aims to provide better organic search results, SEM uses the search engines to advertise your website or business through paid results to online customers and send more targeted traffic to your Web site. SEM offers you the ability to pay based on clicks (Google Adwords). Ads in a successful SEM campaign will be shown to those consumers specifically looking for your products or services, resulting in a higher conversion rate.

This is where you get to the nitty gritty of what you are offering.

A study recently found that 80% to 90% of all people research online before making a purchase. After your initial page showing a list of items or services, you are going to want to build an individual page that describes each specific product or service in complete detail. You don't want to bore your customers with difficult and hard to read information or instructions, but it's important to give them enough information to make an informed decision. Make sure not to misrepresent any features or make claims that can't be backed up. This will surely backfire and will cause your business to lose credibility.

Back in the stone age, people used to go exclusively to search engines to find stuff on the internet. Now days, people sit on their social media website of choice and wait for the information to come to them. Because of this, SEO is no longer the biggest single factor in Internet Marketing. It is one piece of a larger Integrated Strategy. SEO involves strategies and tactics used to ensure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the organic rank of your site on search engines.

Social media marketing usually centers on efforts to create content that attracts attention and encourages readers to share it with their friends. A corporate message can spread from user to user and appears to come from a trusted source; hence, this form of marketing is driven by word-of-mouth. Increased communication for organizations fosters brand awareness and often, improved customer service. Additionally, social media serves as a relatively inexpensive platform for organizations to implement marketing campaigns.

Ways to improve SEO

- Use keyword phrases instead of single keywords

- Use a landing page for each product or service

- Focus on one keyword phrase per landing page

- Use keyword phrases in your title and meta description tags

- Create links to other pages on your website and other websites on the internet

- Name the pages of your website the same as your keyword phrase (ie... keyword-phrase.html)

- Use footer links on each page

- Keep each page unique and clean

Once your visitors are aware of your product or service, know the benefits of your business over your competition and have researched the details, it is time to consider whether to buy your product or service or those of your competitors. Because you want them to consider your product over your competitors, you may want to offer an additional incentive to sway your opinion. Incentives may come in the form of a better price, a special sale or coupon, a feature that your competitor doesn't offer, or free shipping. Another way is to create a community of people that are loyal to your specific product or service (Nike vs. Adidas) and help them to spread the word.

Email Marketing

Because of the prominence of spam, many people believe that marketing your product through email is no longer an effective way to get your message out to consumers. However, Email marketing remains one of the most productive ways to reach out to your audience.

If you have done everything right, then the customer will be convinced that your product or service is superior to those of your competition and will make the purchase. This doesn't mean that your product has to be the lowest price or best on the market (Ralph Lauren). A well executed marketing strategy or brand will help you overcome those obstacles. Many business owners think that this is the last step of the conversion process, but it is not. There is one more step that follows the sale and it is: the post-sale experience and feedback. Unless you sell a product or service that a person would only buy once in their life, then you are going to want to bring the customer back to buy more products or provide more services.

There are multiple things that you must do to ensure that your new customer returns to purchase more items or services in the future and that they tell others. Make sure you send a confirmation email that describes what they purchased, your return policies and a thank you note. Put their email address in a mailing list and let them know when you have something to offer them. Also, make sure you have a section for reviews after each product and ask them to provide a review. This will help you gain new customers when they see your products with positive reviews. Finally, don't be afraid to ask them to tell their friends and family about their experience.
