Internet Marketing For Business Development
It is safe to say that the majority of the existing go to market strategies that have been developed for small businesses (Small and Medium Enterprises) as well as some of the larger corporations were in some part originally developed before the rise and rise of some of the existing technologies that are now in existence within the internet world that potential clients are using to navigate the online world in their daily lives – it is important ot note that these users can be viewed as new business leads or as existing clients.
Search Engine And Social Media Marketing Business Development
Now we have to deal with Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Marketing, Mobile Optimized Websites as well as the widespread use of Mobile Apps. The point being that to be successful, long standing business strategies need to be modified accordingly or said another way, the online strategies that are developed need to be done so by incorporating more traditional [offline] strategies into every activity that takes place on the internet.
We like to stress the point that it is not about ranking a video on YouTube, or even ranking a website in Google, or about how many tweets that are put out. This is how we differentiate our services to clients when it comes to working with them to develop their go to market online strategies. It all starts by understanding their core business strategies, i.e. their :-
- Channel Marketing Strategies
- Branding Activities
- Distribution Channels
- Market Segmentation
- Category Marketing Choices
- Lifetime Client Value
- Unique Value Proposition
… and the list can go on and on, the point is that using the internet does not mean that these core business fundamentals change. This is why we caution businesses that even if they do not work with us, they need to vet carefully who they work with.
The person or company who is the best technically may not be the best at making sure that your business’ marketing strategy is appropriately conveyed via online internet activities in relation to your business.
So in conclusion : your business’ strategy may well need to be modified accordingly to ensure that the internet is incorporated, you as the business owner do not need to know everything about how this is done but you need to make sure that whoever you use understands marketing fundamentals as well as the ins and outs of how to incorporate the internet in the go to market strategies of any corporation.
This is our specialty which we look to continue to develop, any question, comments or thoughts, feel free to get in touch.
To your business success,
-Stephen C Campbell
