Multi-channel digital marketing campaigns are the new norm. In 2014 38% of marketers used 3 digital channels, with 14% using 5 or more. While it may initially seem a tactic for hedging your bets, multi-channel campaigns are the strongest form of digital strategy to get the best results for your business. A multi-channel campaign presents many opportunities for business marketing results.
There is a huge range of digital marketing channels available and choosing the right selection is crucial to the results you see. The most popular trio is Google AdWords, social advertising and electronic mail (EDM). These communication tools teamed with an organic strategy increases the likelihood of being found where your customers are and having a digital marketing strategy that thrives.Of course, the marketing objectives you decide on will guide your decision about which channels to utilise. Different channels reach different people at different stages of the buying cycle and should encourage different behaviours whilst holding a consistent message. Using a Google AdWords’ Display campaign will grow brand awareness and create demand for a product, but if physical sales online is what you’re after then creating a store on eBay or a Google Shopping campaign may be the way to go. Knowing what you want from your online marketing activity will tell you which platforms to choose, along with the guidance and knowledge from the Bang Digital team.
