To dominate digital strategy, you don't need a huge budget, you need to be more intelligent, focused, and agile than the competition.
Most digital strategies fail because of the “Shiny Object” Syndrome, the “Set It and Forget It” Mentality, and the “Me, Me, Me” Approach.
The five pillars of a successful digital strategy include customer-centric everything, content marketing, data-driven decision-making, omnichannel integration, and agility and innovation.
On social media, choose your platforms wisely, focus on quality over quantity, engage rather than broadcast, use video content, and practice social listening.
To turn your website into a lead-generating machine, optimize for search engines, create a clear value proposition, use strong calls-to-action (CTAs), implement live chat, and create valuable gated content.
To leverage your data, collect the right data, personalize the customer experience, use predictive analytics, and prioritize data security and privacy.
Continuously optimize your digital strategy through A/B testing, user feedback, and staying agile.
Allocate 7-10% of your revenue for digital marketing, with about 50% of that going to digital. Review your digital strategy quarterly and make minor adjustments on the fly.
SEO is still important in 2024, and email marketing can still be effective when done correctly.
The biggest mistake businesses make with digital strategy is trying to do too much too soon. Start with focus and expand as you learn what works.
