Digital marketing for dummies

At Possible we know how complicated it is to give visibility to your product or business, especially in the early years. We all know the solution, marketing. The first thing that comes to mind is a television commercial, but who has that much budget for it? Surely your company still does not handle the figures of McDonalds or Netflix to be able to hire outrageously expensive advertising firms.

Still, what Possible has found is that it doesn’t make large investments to promote a business or product. With the use of digital technologies and the internet, a business can increase its reputation, contacts, customers and sales. All these thanks to a type of marketing called Digital Marketing. Specifically to inbound marketing, which focuses on gaining the interest of users through quality content and two-way communication, instead of buying it.

Obviously, there is no magic button on the computer keyboard that generates a digital marketing campaign, but there are small concepts that one must handle to understand the professionals with whom you work or if you are trying to do it yourself.

Essentials (which Possible has already done) for a good digital marketing strategy

We have been incorporating and adapting our business for some time. Here are our essentials for a correct digital strategy:
  • Renew the image: The corporate image of a company is of vital importance especially for the use of digital technologies. In Possible, as we have explained previously, the company’s image has been rebranding to adapt it to maturity and new trends. It should be remembered that brands today are no longer timeless, where a logo is valid for life. It is important to adapt the brand and image to changes in the environment, the company itself and also, to a certain extent, trends “
  • A consistent website: A company’s website is the backbone of the digital strategy. No matter what type of company you are, your website must demonstrate the same professionalism as your products or services. With our corporate image change, we also modernized our website, which better conveys our business concept and vision. In addition, it is important to have a place where you can dump the events and milestones of the company, directly reflect what are the pillars, mission and values ​​and even the objectives, whether quantitative or qualitative. This creates closeness to the public and / or potential clients.
  • Help from professionals: Due to the current size of the company, it was impossible for us to have a dedicated team and sufficient budget to tackle a very ambitious marketing strategy. What we have done is incorporate our marketer team, directly or indirectly, who help us manage all these strategies to boost our business.
  • Social networks: In the heyday of social networks, it is impossible for any company that seeks to boost its market and/or brand not to actively use a social network. And I repeat actively, but also consciously. You have to be selective in what is published while maintaining regularity and good taste.
