Digital Marketing Predictions in 2021 for Business Growth

December 23, 2020December 23, 2020 admin

Yogi Berra gave a quote that “The future ain’t what it used to be.” and do you know who is Mr Yogi Berra, he is a late hall of fame player of baseball, we are also doing the same and thinking the same, and based on so many research, we can conclude.

As a market researcher, we always do some predictions of the technology, user behavior, and products demands, so we have some predictions for the future, growth, and scope of Digital Marketing in the Year 2021 and beyond, I collected these from some thoughtful business leaders I polled, plus a few of mine own prognostications.

Here are the first predictions from Elena Filimonova, a senior vice president of global marketing of the 7,500-person, New York City (USA) based IT services providing firm:

A new term that gets stabilized is “Influencers Marketing” so the Importance of Influencers Will Increase a lot. “various B2C brands now dependent on influencers as a way to engage with online customers,” said Filimonova. “While a few B2B brands have jumped on this bandwagon, B2B marketers should focus on some different type of influencer in the year 2021: like Their immediate network. Partners, customers, and employees will become a more essential part of a brand’s marketing strategy, and as technology buyers, they are becoming more reliant on their peer network for the solution of knowledge.

The next term that will emerge is the review, so the Peer Reviews will Be more Important. “A recent consumer survey report from Edelman found that around 77% of consumers surveyed say that peer reviews are either deal-breakers or deciding factors in their brand-buying decisions,” Filimonova says. “As B2B marketers look to mirror the B2C approach in 2021 and attract high-paying enterprise clients, trust becomes increasingly important – from both the peer-to-peer network perspective and the growing influencer demographic.”

After a long term of lockdown, people are started trusting the online communities, so online reviews Will Become Even More Important as of now. The B2B technology community trusts one source of information over anything else – their peers. “A recent study found that around 60% of enterprise technology buyers use online reviews to identify any kind of solutions,” Filimonova has said. “Many B2B technology buyers rely on internal forums that are moderated by users, allowing them to ask questions and share real-life feedback. To encourage your customers to participate, ask them for feedback at the point they are most compelled to leave it.”

Somehow term positive becomes negative, but still we say to Marketers that they Should Focus On The Positive. “Entice employee stakeholders to share their experiences on peer-to-peer platforms,” Filmonova told. “Educate your team members on the best practices for using social platforms. Encourage them to connect on social – the more they see what their colleagues are doing, the more likely they are to join the conversation and improve the user experience.”

Now, we have to talk over the inside betterment but in this External Influencers Won’t Be Forgotten, as they still have worth. “But B2B companies should re-evaluate how they are engaging with them,” says Filimonova. “Just like with employees, give influencers content they want to be associated with. This may require asking them to comment on the results of proprietary industry surveys your company conducted. Another way is to invite the influencer to join a webinar panel to create a relevant audience. Influencers are looking for brands to help boost their professional profiles among the audiences who can buy our products.”

We try our best to share a few predictions from the growth of digital marketing by the expert and speaker Lisa Apolinski, she is the owner of 3 Dog Write in Phoenix, she wrote a wonderful book “Weathering the Digital Storm” and Recently she explains some digital marketing 2021 forecasts in a seminar and here are three major points she made:

Keep a keen Looks at your Marketing Budgets. In a survey, Apolinski said that “With an impending economic recession and political uncertainty, companies will look at how they are spending their dollars on service-related items,”. “Because of this, companies will be more critical and discerning of what service agencies are brought in, including talking to past clients and looking at consistent thought leadership.”

Bring trust in between your new and old clients. “Potential customers are becoming more distrustful of what they read in your digital space, and rightly so,” says Apolinski. “Companies need to show consistent and truthful communication. If there is any misalignment or inconsistency (or something that seems off), prospects will discover it and make sure others know too.”

Always Be Humble and polite. “Communication that brings in compassion and humility will be able to cut through the digital noise to touch and inspire audiences will boost your business,” says Apolinski.

Here are some marketing predictions that concluded by me and my team:

Client Attraction is a Chain Reaction. Let me explain this to you, For attracting high-paying clients, marketers will quit looking for the silver bullet and focus on a whole marketing approach. The focus will be on the articulation of outcomes, results, and alignment. Articulation is everything because with the help of this you can share your views with clients and client can express their requirements with you, so this a chain reaction that once started will never end.

Budgets should be More Prioritized. The year 2020 is about to go and the new year 2021 is about to come, although the economic growth that was predicted for years 2020 has been delayed a lot, digital marketing can change the market growth, as people love to come online, buy and sale online.

The Digital Marketing Future in 2021 will reward those who seize thevv day. Nobody can control the future of anyone but we can try to make it better with our best efforts. Get the Best Digital Marketing Services in India.

How Small Business leaders Can grow their business by Digital Marketing?

December 12, 2020December 15, 2020 admin

Business is always a business and dream of their owner to make it large, but as Covid-19 hit the worldwide business, so due to this more than 14 million Americans become unemployed due to shuted down of around 31% of small and medium-sized businesses. Consumer confidence drives the USA economy and with uncertainty still on the horizon, business owners should consider the value of their advertising expenditures.

The Current State Of Affairs

According to a Facebook’s State of Small Business survey Report, the hospitality and service industry took the hardest hit across all sectors (it is around 43%) and wellness, fitness, and other professional services followed close behind (approx. 41%). But we are assuming that the retail industry wasn’t nearly as affected with 23% of businesses are not operating.

Promotional Work

Lets connect with some business owners and when we or you asked about their cash flows within the past 30 days it was clearly evident that cash outflow is greater than their inflow. This has led many business owners to turn digital in order to interface with their customers, ranging from digital ordering tools to door step delivery ontime.

As of now every form of the traditional marketing can be transforming into a digital marketing. The only difference is that with digital marketing you’re able to identify exactly who is and where is your target audience is located, and what interests they have beyond the scope of your business. Additionally, the tracking capabilities are virtually limitless. Meaning every single dollar that you spend on the promotion of your business can be directly attributed to your promotional campaign(s).

Digital Marketing Service Cost

Whenever we talk about any business, it promotion and others we think about the cost, so the cost of running digital campaign can be far less than running your traditional marketing campaign for the business promotion. Lets take billboards, for example. Depending on where your placement is, I’ve seen that the cost can range anywhere between 1,20,000 to 1,80,000 per month. Given that you’re targeting the city you’re operating in, you could easily run display ads with far more reach and trackability than billboards. Bear in mind that you still haven’t included the cost of printing, installation and its monthly maintenance. Since one of the current biggest issues with cash flow is that outflow is greater than inflow you can see how cost plays a bigger role now more than ever. Overall, if used correctly, digital marketing can help your business acquire and retain customers with a significantly lower cost per acquisition than your traditional marketing efforts.

The Biggest Question – Where To Start?

When we do a meeting with any business owner mainly small business owner, their simple question to us is that, from where you will start, so the best place to start is to do your own research into what different tactics you can use in order to fulfill your goal(s), becasue a business owner knows their audiance but they do not not how to reach, that way we make with the help of digital marketing. Sometimes my client don’t even have to pay that time then we provide them free consultancy just to start and we suggest to creating and optimizing your Google My Business page becasue once they came online they get benefits and later of sooner they needs a professional digital marketing agency. they can also:

• Set-up your Google Webmasters

• Fix website issues based on Google PageSpeed

• Put your business in your local and national online directories

These are just a few ideas for your SEO and digital marketing, and there are still many other avenues such as e-mail marketing, social media advertising, pay-per-click (PPC) advertising and so on. Once you’ve identified what platforms are needed you can then utilize these tactics and develop your overall strategy. You can either do this in-house or hire an agency to do it for you, but before you look at hiring out, you would do well to educate yourself on the basics of digital marketing first.

Which platforms a business owner can use?

Two of the most frequently used platforms, Google and Facebook, have endless free resources available to help business leaders and marketing professionals alike get up to speed on the latest advances in the digital landscape. Setting up and updating profiles on Facebook, Instagram, Yelp or Google My Business doesn’t take a marketing background to figure out.

When it comes to leveraging your website, you may not have the know-how or budget to develop a state of the art site — but if you can get your web developer to help you install a few simple bits of script, you can learn so much more about how people interact with you digitally. You may think you know your audience, but Google Analytics will enable you to truly know everything about their age, gender, location, interests and even the journey they tend to take through your website. And if you’re interested in moving into paid advertising, free demographic analysis tools from Google and Facebook will help you build audiences that are already aware of and engaged with your brand.

Conclusion

Finally, you should always benchmark yourself against your competitors. Look at what they’re doing with their digital presence — Facebook will even let you see your competitor’s ads. By observing how your competitors operate in the digital sphere, you can use their presence as inspiration and a jumping-off point for your own digital marketing. And if your competitors have a lackluster digital presence, that means you have a wealth of untapped potential available in your local market.

Even if you don’t intend on personally executing your company’s marketing strategy, education on digital marketing fundamentals is paramount in finding the right candidate or agency to help you fulfill the role. Because if you don’t take the initiative to know what you’re interviewing candidates or auditioning companies for, you will get taken advantage of.

How Digital Transformation keep your business safe in COVID-19

September 30, 2020September 30, 2020 admin

As of now, as per my knowledge every Business Leader plays a vital role in determining whether their organization exploits the innovative opportunities provided by technology or not.

So, now these days everyone means 7 out of 10 entrepreneurs talks about Digital Transformation but really a very few know about it and actually how to do it for growth!

So, here I want to say that digital transformation is imperative for all types of businesses, from the micro, small, medium, to the big enterprise. That message comes through loud and clear from seemingly every keynote, like panel discussion, article, or study related to how businesses can remain competitive and relevant when the world becomes digital very fast. What’s not clear to many business leaders is that, what is digital transformation means. Is it just a catchy way to say moving to the cloud? What are the specific steps we need to take to adopt it? Do we need to design new jobs to help us create a framework for digital transformation, or hire a consulting service? What parts of our business strategy need to change? Is it really worth it or not?

Why digital transformation matters?

A business can take on digital transformation due to several reasons. But by far, the most likely reason is that they have to take it as the survival issue. In the wake of the pandemic i.e CORONA, an organization’s ability to adapt quickly to supply chain disruptions, time to market pressures, and rapidly changing customer expectations has created a critical situation for all the business persons.

How COVID-19 pandemic changed digital transformation?

Due to this CORONA pandemic “We’ve seen a rapidly re-shaping of both the “what” and the “how” of companies’ digital transformation agendas.

So, in this you can take employee experience for example. “Even as an employee experience has become a key theme in the HR community, in IT circles this notion had been getting a mixed reception – sometimes stereotyped as “spoiled employees expecting best-in-class consumer-grade tech on shoestring budgets,”.

“Today, with a vast portion of the workforce now remote, employee experience of digital technology has gone from “nice to have” to “the only way work gets done. Consequently, it’s getting the problem-solving focus it likely long deserved.”

Digital transformation efforts that COVID-19 pushed higher:

Furthering the reach of customer support via tools including chatbots
Automation tools for resilience reasons
Radical housecleaning of redundant or conflicting systems

In the response to this pandemic, many CIOs have also embraced the notion that “the perfect is the enemy of the good,”. “Nothing silences an individual’s – or an organization’s – inner perfectionist like a full-blown crisis. In response to dramatic disruption, many organizations have undergone a healthy re-negotiation of their relationship to digital technology – prioritizing “hey, it works!” over “after years of slaving over this initiative, we’ve assembled the very best bells and whistles.” The “working software” lionized in the Agile Manifesto is getting a true moment in the sun.”

What does a digital transformation framework look like?
Although digital transformation will vary widely based on organization’s specific challenges and demands, there are a few constants and common themes that all business and technology leaders should consider as they embark on digital transformation.

For instance, these digital transformation elements are often cited:

Customer experience
Operational agility
Culture and leadership
Workforce enablement
Digital technology integration

While each guide has its own recommendations and varying steps or considerations, many other CIOs should look for those important shared themes when developing their own digital transformation strategy, for more details about the digital transformation you can call us or email us, all the contact details are available https://www.razorse.com/touch-with-us.aspx here.

But, you had some research over the internet that your product is very useful for various situation, and people search so many terms those are indirectly related with your products, but they really not know the exact name of your product, so what you need to do?

How Digital Marketing Strategies are important for Startup Growth

August 7, 2020August 7, 2020 admin

As the traditional marketing is hastily becoming obsolete the emphasis of businesses on digital marketing strategies has been increasing with each passing day. Marketers believe that the trade has been changed more in the last 3-4 months than it ever did in the past five to ten years. Digital marketing strategies can give an edge to businesses, in particular, startups, those would do well to leverage this approach to catapult themselves to a higher level. In hindsight, it becomes quintessential to choose the most suitable strategies for the latter because of their apparent lack of resources and marketing expertise. We give you a glimps on some of the most doable strategies.

Search Engine optimization

Here, my prime focus is over the Google search engine due to its very high share in search engine market, so you have to have a well designed content rich website with well placed query form on it, and have to collect very suitable keywords as per your business and either work by self or hire an agency to work for you to bring your business website on top 5 places on SERP, means search engine result pages, this is an evergreen work for your business growth.

Email Marketing

This is an assumption that marketing through emails is redundant as of now. It is, however, far from dead, delivering impeccable returns on investment for marketers. In a recent survey conducted by Demand Metric and the Data and Marketing Association (DMA), it was found that email marketing had an impressive ROI of 122 percent. This is four times higher than the other marketing channels, including paid search, direct mail and social media.

Social Media Marketing

This is one of the more perceptible options as the importance of social media marketing has been extensively proclaimed. Social media marketing has been forecasted to grow from about $32 billion in 2017 to $48 billion in 2021. About 90 percent of marketers have confirmed the strategy’s emphasis on their businesses while 89 percent have agreed that their social media initiatives have incurred exposure for their businesses.

While it is a given that sales are boosted, social media marketing also increases traffic. The user bases of Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Snapchat, and other channels harbor different consumers. It is pivotal to understand the personas and patterns of your audience and match it with the most suitable social media platforms.

Content Marketing

This is one of the most crucial marketing strategies that startups must tap into. Content marketing is a strategy that involves the creation, publication, and distribution of suitable and valuable content to target audiences. This could be in the form of articles, videos, posters, blogs, jingles, and various other creative forms of content where the motive lies in engaging audiences.

Pay-Per-Click Marketing

Pay-per-click (PPC) or Google AdAords, is a strategy that involves the use of paid advertising over search engine or social media platform to attract visitors to the company website. It helps to generate sales-ready leads. There are various practical advantages that PPC offers. For instance, it helps in acquiring consumers at the right time with the use of suitable ad words incurring high ROIs as the expenditure is on a per-click basis. The added benefit of this is that crucial data and insights can be acquired with the use of analytical tools that can help strengthen other marketing strategies.

The Conclusion

As we all know that there is competition among startups to stake their claim in the business world, making it imperative to employ the most suitable digital marketing strategies. While some strategies may have greater scope for experimentation, others require minimal room for errors in terms of finance and the fact that first impressions can have major implications in today’s fast-paced business world. So, instead of doing all you need to hire a digital marketing agency to do these all things for you professionally.
