2. Improve Conversion Rate
Every business owner wants
to see numbers rise in terms of visitors to their site and landing pages.
However, those numbers are meaningless if they aren’t the right kinds
of traffic.
"The rate of purchases made
on site to the number of visitors landed on page is called conversion rate."
Through digital marketing we can target right
audience for our product then we are able to improve conversion rate.
Let us understand with an example , If 100
peoples visited on your website and peoples purchase products from your website
then the conversion rate of your website is 60 % .
3.Reduce Bounce Rate
Bounce rate in
analytics is defined as people who visit your site and leave (bounce) rather
than continue viewing other pages. This is an important measure of the quality
of your website, because almost all businesses want their visitors to
complete an action like purchase, contact or download on their websites.
The lower the
bounce rate the better and many marketers say that a bounce rate below 50% is
good, however that differs from business to business.
4. Increase organic traffic
Organic traffic is
natural traffic from the search engine result pages. It is considered as free
traffic and is distinct from paid traffic. Lots of businesses have the
objective to increase organic visitor traffic by achieving high search engine
rankings through implementing search engine optimisation.
To achieve this
requires making changes to your website that are effective at improving
rankings and one of the important ones is including keywords in the content.
Another important tactics is to build quality links that point to your website.
5. Reduce The Cost Of Aquiring New Customers
In most of the businesses, the cost of acquiring new
customers is generally quite high. One of the ideal ways to reduce the cost of acquiring
new customers is to use digital marketing. It helps you reach out to a large
pool of extremely targeted audience much faster as compared to traditional
marketing and even at lower costs.
Let us understand this with an example. Consider you run an company and
want to do product promotions in a specific city or town. Traditionally, you
will book newspapers ads, hoardings, set up kiosks or stalls to market your
products.
The cost of this would be very high. Alternately, you can run paid ads
on social networks or search engines targeting people from
certain localities of this town. The second option is the best since you can do
promotions at a click on your button in a jiffy and also save a lot on manpower
hiring, hoarding/newspaper ad costs, logistics, etc.- thereby reducing your
cost of acquiring new customers.
6.Keep The Customer Engaged In Your Brand
In
any business, just acquiring new customers and expecting him to do repeat
purchases further on doesn’t work. You need to make sure the customer is
connected to your brand and/or products, and digital marketing comes in very
handy in such cases.
Digital
marketing mediums like social media marketing are the best medium for such
campaigns. You can run specific retargeting campaigns using Adwords or
Facebook/Instagram only for your existing customers or people who have
previously been your website visitor, showing them their new products, offers,
etc.
Due
to this, he would be shown your ads while browsing social media or any blogs or
other websites. This helps the customer remain engaged with your brand and
increases the chances of subsequent purchases.
Let
us illustrate with an example. Consider you own an online store selling
apparel. A particular customer has come to your website, browsed a few products
but haven’t purchased anything.
Showing
him retargeting ads with the same products which he browsed and had a look at
on your website, increases the chances of a purchase.
7.Build A Brand
Internet marketing
objectives often include building a brand. This means not only establishing
your logo and company name in the minds of consumers, but also what your
company stands for.
Well-known brands
are typically trusted more by customers, especially when paired with positive
associations. The Internet is a great tool for building that trust, because it
has a wide reach and allows you to directly connect with individuals.
