Digital Marketing

Social Media Engagement

Social engagement is a substantial part of every marketing strategy, and the benefits of this cost-effective resource can be a phenomenal marketing opportunity. It should be a crucial element of your overall digital marketing strategy.

Business Pages: You can use Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to share everything from photos to important company updates. With a business account, you have access to powerful advertising tools and in-depth analytics. Business pages also have a lot of customization options. You can use Facebook to highlight information such as your contact information, hours of operation, and the products and services you offer.

Powerful Benefits: Billions of people across the world use social media every day, and it makes sense to put your business where the customers are. Roughly 60% of Instagram users said they find new products using the platform, making it well worth your while. It’s becoming more important than ever for businesses to have a distinct voice and engage with customers on a human level. Social media provides an easy avenue for this, allowing you to develop an identity and a voice to showcase your brand values and engage with followers. f your followers like your social media content, they become interested in you and go to your website to learn more about your business, which means higher website traffic and potentially more sales for you.

Publication Advertising

Credibility: Print publications consistently offer readers high-quality and reliable content. Known as the “halo effect,” brands who place ads in respected print publications receive the same positive feelings from readers that are associated with the publication itself. This means your ads can be seen as completely trustworthy, which makes generating leads and sales much easier.

Awareness: The digital age has pretty much killed the human attention span. We’re simply not as receptive to all of the digital advertising happening around us. Print readers, on the other hand, don’t typically multitask when they read a magazine or newspaper, making them far more receptive to the ads within the publication.

Design: We will endeavor to work with our client to learn about their expectations and preferences for ad design. Often reviewing examples from competitor’s ad to determine style and content. From there we can offer several choices for a starting point and then revise and adjust to get the perfect result.

Target: Print ads allow you to target your audience. You can choose to run ads in specialty magazines, choose exactly which section, deliver to specific geographic and have your ads run on a specific day, month or edition.Choose and ad to fit your budget by offering quarter-page, half-page and full-page ads. And finally, advertising in print publications mean you’ll actually work with a human being when buying your ad space as opposed to relying on an online algorithm to decide where your ads should live.

Results: The Nielson Global Trust reported that 65% of print readers typically take some form of action. Successful ad campaigns reach targeted markets, effectively communicate a message, and drive action. By embracing the many advantages of print advertising and adding it to their marketing mix, advertisers can leverage the power of both print and digital to create the most awareness and revenue possible.

He built a great website by listening to all my needs and addressing some issues I hadn’t even crossed my mind. I am completely satisfied and have been using Marketing by Design for all my marketing needs now.
