6 Holiday Marketing Strategies to Maximize Your Advertising Efforts

With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away, now is the time to get your holiday marketing strategies in place. Don’t know where to start? Best way to do this is to connect with your customers on an emotional level and tap into the spirit of giving back before your competitors.

If your goal is to increase conversion this busy holiday shopping season, Advertising Is Simple has you covered. Here are 6 holiday marketing strategies that will maximize your advertising efforts. 

 

6 Holiday Marketing Strategies to Maximize Your Advertising Efforts

 

  1.  Offer Special Deals – Reward your best customers for their loyalty throughout the year by giving exclusive discounts or personal gifts based on their purchase history. Also, don’t forget to take advantage of the highest selling days of the season. Offer special promotions for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. 
  2. Create Dedicated Holiday Landing Pages – Send customers to a special page from your social media and emails campaigns. Be sure to have several different designs and do some split testing to determine the highest converting pages. 
  3. Implement a Social Media Campaign – Use holiday specific images, videos, hashtags and special offers to attract customers willing to spend. This is the time when they are starting to search for deals! Encouraging social media interaction will also get people in the holiday spirit of shopping. 
  4. Focus on an Email Campaign – Use email more often to get customers excited about upcoming deals. Make sure to triple your marketing efforts on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Offer a contest, game or countdown to get more engagement. Don’t forget to add a popup subscribe form to your website and welcome new email subscribers with a discount code as well. 
  5. Give Back to the Community – Show support to the community by sponsoring a food drive or collecting clothing and toys for needy families. Many of your customers are looking for ways to make the season more meaningful by sharing with those less fortunate. 
  6. Create a Holiday Video – Get your team together for a fun and inviting holiday video. There’s nothing more personal than sending good wishes to your customers and showing your fun personality at the same time!

Here’s How Claiming Online Business Directories Can Help Your Company 

by

online business directories

Using online properties to effectively develop a stellar digital reputation is a marathon, not a sprint. Getting your house in order (your website, your social media accounts and online business directories) is a good place to start. Having a consistent and diverse reputation management plan will keep your business and brand on topic and on the positive side of your audience.  

However, ending there is not going to help you create the lead generation that will help you to grow your online presence. The key to marketing success is constantly updating, adapting, measuring, analyzing and tweaking your strategy to better optimize your results. 

While SEO is in a constant state of flex, it is something you cannot afford to overlook. There is a lot of factors to consider well before you claim your share of the marketplace. First, let’s discuss business directories and how they play a big part of getting your business a great online presence. 

Business Directories

If you want your company to rise in rankings on search engine results pages, take the time to claim your business directories as soon as possible. Think of it as yellow pages in a phone book. You want potential customers to know everything about your business in the most accessible way to get more leads. That’s why online directories are so important for your business.  

Things like your company address, phone number, email address and website link should be consistent and updated regularly so any potential customer or client can find your business right away. Some popular websites to list your company information include Google My Business, Manta, Yellow Pages, Yelp, Facebook, Bing Places and Better Business Bureau. 

Taking the time to claim your local business listings comes with many more benefits for your company. Besides helping your customers find you, you are also able to reach more people who are looking for specific services. How’s that for a FREE advertising opportunity? Yes, you read it right FREE, business directories are one of the most cost-effective marketing tools ever. 

Needless to say, being properly listed in directories and using adaptive search engine optimization can be a game changer when trying to grow your business.  Your business needs to be found! 

At Advertising Is Simple, we simplify the complicated process of managing and verifying directory listings that are pertinent to your industry and location. We also optimize the directory listings with targeted keywords, optimized images and video.

How to Improve Your Digital Marketing Strategy to Reach New Customers

Did you know that every day Google notes about 40,000 search queries per second? According to another statistic, active shoppers do a least one search a day. This means customers these days are curious and research driven. The questions you should be asking yourself now is whether your business digital marketing strategy helps you reach those customers? 

If your answer is no, it’s time to work on your strategy. Lucky for you, Google offers a lot of insight into the changing patterns and customer shopping profiles. Here are some things to consider before you put a new digital marketing strategy in place.

How to Improve Your Digital Marketing Strategy to Reach New Customers 

  • Immediacy trumps loyalty – Your business has to be right there when potential customers are looking for something.  Research shows that searches “today, tonight, open now” are becoming more popular every day. 
  • Near me searches tripled since 2015. Is your business Google listing up to date? 
  • Nearly 9 in 10 smartphone users are not certain of the specific brand they want to buy from when they begin to look at information online. This is the chance for your business to stand out. Think of an interesting business creative to grab their attention.

  • Customers are quick to judge a business online if they don’t have a good experience right away. Research shows you only have 3 seconds to make a good impression online! 
  • Customers these days are impatient and they want to access everything right away. If they can’t find your contact information with one click, you may be losing that sale. Make sure your website is mobile friendly and easy to navigate to avoid any confusion. 
  • Customers are more demanding, informed and aware. Therefore, you have to tailor your strategy to market each customer individually. 
  • Mobile strategy is a must – Google is recording more mobile than desktop searches every day. Did you know an average consumer looks at his/her phone about 70 times a day? Mobile phone changed how we interact with the world, so make sure you include a voice search and mobile-friendly website in your business digital marketing strategy.

How Dedicated Landing Page Can Increase Conversion Rates? We Have the Answer.

by

Dedicated Landing Page get leads

Did you know creating a dedicated landing page for your advertising campaigns can lead to higher conversion rates? Website conversion centered on improving your current marketing materials and catering to your current clientele can really pay off. 

If you’re here to find the answer on how to turn site visitors into paying customers, you came to the right place.  Here’s how to create a dedicated landing page for a successful campaign. 

The Anatomy of a Landing Page That Converts 

  • Cater to a specific goal and audience – Since each marketing campaign is different, your dedicated landing page should be too.  
  • Have a single CTA – A clear call to action button can increase conversions by 62%! A well-designed landing page is much more likely to convert visitors into leads when there is one CTA (call-to-action) and less clutter. 
  • Keep it simple – Confusion does not equal conversion. Potential customers will more likely leave the landing page before finalizing the deal if the page seems confusing or complicated. 
  • Include video content – People are reading less and watching video more. By adding some short explainer videos to your landing pages, you stand to have a higher success rate. 
  • Run A/B Testing – Measuring is an extremely important part of the process. Measure and test multiple landing pages for the same goal against each other – and then use the one that gets the best results! 
     

Having the ability to focus visitor’s attention on the end goal and removing all distractions is every marketer’s dream. That’s why understanding the basic best landing page practices is so important!

Does Your Business Need to Invest in Competitive Analysis? Here’s the answer.

by

competitive analysis

Imagine this. It’s a new year and you are a small business owner. You are committed to taking your business to the next level and trying new marketing tools to achieve your goals. However, you are unsure of how much you should be spending. Should you run the risk of spending too little, causing yourself to be overpowered by your competitors with larger marketing budgets? Or what about the risk of overspending and a possibility of losing your leads to those who are quicker than you? This is where competitive analysis comes to play. 

There is no exact science to what your business should be spending on marketing/ advertising, but through a thorough competitive analysis, you’ll have a good starting point. 

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS 

You may be wondering what exactly is a competitive analysis? In short, it is a report that is a compilation of what your competitors are doing online. Such research outlines their strengths and weaknesses, but most importantly, the opportunities and potential your business has to be successful in the digital realm. 

If you’re still wondering whether your business needs to invest in a competitive analysis in 2019, here’s another good reason. Unless your competitors employ a dark web wizard who is able to hide all of their online actions (which I guarantee they do not), they are leaving a small digital footprint from which we are able to draw and interpret data from. We are also able to compile estimated search volume and bid prices for specific keywords on major search engines. Not to mention, generate an intelligent estimate as to what your competitors are spending on a monthly basis for certain keywords. 

Are you wondering how this helps you? 

Well, with this data we are able to guide your marketing investment decision based upon what available marketing dollars you have. More simply put, we consider your available budget and suggest the route that is most beneficial for your business. This saves your business from failures such as getting caught in the middle of an unwinnable pay-per-click war with a competitor with a substantially larger marketing budget than you.   

Ready to invest in your future? 

Advertising Is Simple is proud to offer a competitive analysis from now until 1/31/18 at half the cost! For $495, we will put forth our proven and tested practices towards giving your business the competitive edge it needs to take the next step in 2019.
