Do you have a rate sheet?
For us, no two businesses are alike. All businesses come with their own types of wants and needs. We align our costs accordingly to the metrics and strategies involved in each project.
Do I need a Blog?
A blog is the most commonly used platform for sharing marketing content. In fact, in 2019 55% of marketers say that blogging is their number one marketing priority. This is because blogs appeal to consumers by providing them with entertainment and relevant information. Blogging can be used for literally any business, from a local fashion boutique to a law firm to a construction company. So in a nutshell, yes, we definitely recommend having a blog.
How often should I post a blog or post on social media?
Facebook? Aim for once a day and definitely no less than 3 times a week.
Instagram? Once or twice a day.
LinkedIn? At least twice a week and no more than once per day.
Twitter? This one is a bit more varied but generally anywhere from 3-30 tweets per day is good.
What is inbound marketing?
Inbound Marketing is a term which was invented by HubSpot. Here’s what they have to say about it:
“Inbound marketing is a business methodology that attracts customers by creating valuable content and experiences tailored to them. While outbound marketing interrupts your audience with content they don’t want, inbound marketing forms connections they’re looking for and solves problems they already have”
Outbound marketing is the Television advert that interrupts your TV show regardless of who you are and what your needs are. By contrast, inbound marketing is the helpful “How To” blog that you found through your own organic Google search.
Which social media channels should my business be using?
Firstly, you should be focusing on the social media platforms with the most active users. These are (in order), Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. Next, you need to determine where your target audience spends their time and educate yourself on the demographic. What are their behavioural patterns? What kind of content do they prefer? How does social media influence them as a consumer?
Is email marketing still effective?
Definitely! You should never assume that because social media has become so hugely popular, that it’s enough to solely focus your digital marketing strategy on social platforms. There are more active email accounts than active accounts on any social media in the world. Email marketing is more private and often feels more personal to the consumer. Most people are consistently tuned into their email, checking it multiple times a day and constantly seeing notifications appear on their mobiles, laptops and tablets.
Should I buy an email list?
Please don’t. Bought email lists are basically just a way for you to SPAM random members of the public. Grow your email list organically through subscription buttons and calls-to-action. This way you are not only protecting your company’s reputation but you are also spending your time and money on an email campaign geared towards genuine prospects who have asked you to contact them.
