Marketing communications are nothing new. Ads, direct mail, and print promotional pieces have long played a part in communicating the value of a business’ products and services to its target market. However, you don’t have to settle for the same old stuff. We at Tate Design are here to show you and your business how to make your marketing communications fresh and cutting-edge.
Cutting-edge marketing communications will increase your brand’s visibility through a cohesive marketing plan and strategic digital marketing and advertising. This emphasis on digital marketing is particularly important now, as consumers rely more and more on information they find online. According to a 2020 Hubspot report, Google processes an estimated 70,000 search queries per second each day. This makes your digital marketing communications extremely valuable.
We explained what your prospects and clients need in “Digital Marketing Right Now.” Maximize your marketing communications in these online marketing areas for the greatest impact:
• Website
With a mobile-friendly, responsive website that is easy to use and navigate, your viewers will be inclined to keep coming back for more. Continue to add high-quality content—text, graphics, videos, podcasts—in response to their real and perceived needs. As the news continues to change and business offerings pivot to serve more effectively, keep your information current and relevant. If you are so inclined, use your website or blog to provide real-time updates about how your company is responding to current events and making a difference in your area.
• E-mail
Digital newsletters and text messaging provide timely information, news, and special offers that keep your brand in the forefront of your customers’ minds.
• Social media
Big social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube enable you to quickly reach even more of your customers. You can provide immediate customer service and feedback through these social sites. You can also encourage loyal clients and fans to engage with your brand, providing input on products, services, perks, and quirks. Make your social media followers your brand ambassadors with social media sharing and incorporating their images of how they use your product into your messaging.
• Digital advertising
Organic marketing, even high-quality graphics and written content that is highly informative or vastly entertaining, no longer gets the results it once did. The Internet is flooded with information and only a tiny percentage of it will land on the first page of any search. For this reason, a combination of organic content on your website and blog and paid advertising on one or more online platforms will yield greater results.
• Branding
As you focus more on digital marketing and less on print marketing, you need to maintain brand consistency. Your company logo, choice of colors and fonts, your corporate graphics, and your key message reinforce your target audience’s perception of your enterprise. Our graphic design team can create templates to help you build a strong, consistent image across all your online real estate.
