The digital media age: The new way forward for marketing strategies.

The coronavirus pandemic has certainly transformed our way of life into a circumstance that none of us are familiar with, and this goes for business practices too.

Many businesses, brands and entrepreneurs, have noted that the way consumers shop, communicate and react has progressed into the online space. Meaning that in order for any business to survive these uncertain times, they will be forced to adapt their business strategies to fit into the digital age.

The online sphere has become a popular and useful platform for the  marketing industry as it allows businesses to stay connected to clients, build strong connections with other entities and to learn new ways of communicating with them. However, digital marketing needs to be well-orchestrated in order to have the anticipated effect. This means your content needs to be informative, credible and relevant in providing sincere information and potentially solving the audience’s problem.

Due to the pandemic, the marketing industry has been bolstered into the new digital media age which is why now is the perfect time to transform your marketing strategy into a digital design. It is important during this time to keep your brand top of mind. Here are a few ways of doing so that you can incorporate into your marketing strategy.

Boost content that is relevant and relatable during this time using Facebook ads. Statistically people are now spending more time online surfing the web during the pandemic. Imagine what content you would like to see online. You can take advantage of this and introduce your brand/service to a wider audience as well as get to know your current customers more.

It is very difficult to promote price and product items currently, the internet has been used more than ever at this time. Even though markets may be performing poorly, according to Google stats, if you are in the finance industry, you have an opportunity as people are searching for financial advice. If you are in the health and medical field, content on “how to protect yourselves and communities” during this pandemic search is at a rise. Regardless of the industry you are in, it is vital to create content that viewers are currently searching and provide solutions which will in turn increase your brand awareness – during and after the pandemic. Google AdWords can help you achieve the results.

Budget aside, the constant use of SEO is greatly important. Compared to other marketing options it is very cost effective, as no cost is involved. All you need to do is put great content out there with reliable keywords and let Google do the rest. This will also help you in identifying if your content is as good as you think and allow you to see areas where you can improve on.
