Online Marketing
What Is Online Marketing?
Online marketing refers to any form of marketing done over the Internet. Some common examples are web site marketing, email marketing, banner advertising, search engine optimization and pay per click advertising.
All of the above options (and this holds true for many online marketing options not outlined above) can range from very effective to completely useless, dependant on the processes and systems implemented.
So Which Ones Should I Use?
The answer to this question will vary from business to business. The real question to ask is, “What Do I Want To Accomplish”? If you don’t already have a web site & you’re looking to grow your market share, and increase your customer base, then starting off with a web site is recommended. It’s pretty hard to establish any sort of internet presence without your own website. In other words, you can’t run before you learn to walk!
Disclaimer: The above paragraph is not 100% true. You can put your business on the internet without a website and you can begin email marketing to your existing customer base (if you have a list of customer email addresses, if not, start collecting them NOW!)
Once you have a website, or if you have one already, now you can begin to undertake the different Online Marketing options available to you. Again, the question, “What Do I Want To Accomplish” should be asked. Need more customers? Time to get your website in front of the people looking for your products and services. You could employ either Search Engine Optimization or Pay Per Click Advertising to accomplish this. Want to sell more items more often to your existing customer base? Email Marketing is the answer here. Want to improve your exposure in your local community and abroad? Social Networks, Blogs and other Web 2.0 services are your answer.
