Along with the more traditional forms of marketing, in the current business landscape, it is essential to plan strategically using digital media in your overall marketing strategy.
Digital media gives a business the ability to not only reach more people, but also to reach those people in a more time efficient manner for less money than any other type of medium available in the modern business landscape.
Digital media has the following advantages among other things:
1 - Strategic planning in digital media has the ability to create a long term strategy without long term expenditures.
Most of the money that is placed into Internet videos and other forms of content are done during the production phase. This is because the maintenance phase of digital media costs a great deal less than any other sort of media.
It does not cost anything to keep a video up on a video sharing site. Unless you as the business owner decide to take the video down, it will stay up for you and serve as a 24 hour, seven day a week public relations campaign. It can go viral at any time, creating even more PR for you without you having to spend a single dime.
2 - Online media also has the ability to incorporate itself more readily into off-line campaigns.
With many new online marketing tools, it is much easier to create off-line foot traffic through online mediums than it has ever been before. Because the major search engines have created a need for businesses to localize themselves in niche oriented markets, proper keyword optimization and digital media incorporation into a content marketing campaign will serve as another inroad into customer acquisition and customer retention.
It has never been easier to supplement an off-line marketing campaign with online marketing tools. There are more tools than ever before, both paid and free.
3 - Digital media gives companies the opportunity to try out new strategies and analyze results in real time.
There is no other medium that gives a business the ability to see the results of a campaign in real time. Online reviews can be given to a company while the customer is still in the store. Multivariate marketing campaigns can be tested within a matter of minutes and optimized on-the-fly to give a boost to short term and seasonal marketing campaigns. These strategies can then be tweaked without having to restart marketing campaigns for large amounts of money.
