These channels include radio, print advertising, billboards, commercials, different social media platforms, social media influencers, Google advertising, website blogging, tradeshows, GEO targeting ads, and so much more.
Measure Results
Without knowing where you are it is hard to plan for what is to come. Marketing Strategy requires the ability to be tracked and evaluated. Accurate insights are available through most channels of advertising and are essential to a good plan. Often these insights can give direction for growth, opportunities, changes, and paint a picture for the evolution of your business.
Marketing Strategy
A marketing strategy is an essential part of your business. You should have one made and reviewed each year. They can be simple or very immersive. They will guide budgeting and goals, and show opportunities for potential growth.
Your Plan
You need a digital footprint as a part of your marketing strategy. The first place to start is with a well-planned and beautifully designed website. We build websites that focus on the user experience and your brand in mind.
Fully-Responsive Website
What you say and how you say it matters. Your online content must reflect your brand, address the needs of your customers, and connect to the relevant keywords that will get you found on search. This is possible through keyword evaluation, content manipulation, and proper page indexing. What do you have in place for your SEO plan?
Content Built for SEO
Effective Social Media is a must-have. Reaching consumers on different platforms requires a focus on building followers and audiences that will positively impact your brand and goals. Maintaining consistency and authentic, creative content is essential to managing your social media effectively.
Social Media Management
Authentic content, storytelling, humour, relatability, branded photography, creative videography, and planned micro-content will elevate your online footprint very quickly. The more an online, targeted audience can connect to your values, vision, and branding, the more you will develop trust and a deep connection to your customers.
Creative Content
The concept of customer engagement is as simple as replying to reviews on Google My Business, and as comprehensive as maintaining a blog and regular e-newsletters. It cost roughly less 50% in advertising cost to retain a customer as it does to gain a new one. If you managed to engage 25% of your existing customers in a deeper way, it would increase revenue and reduce the cost of your ROI for ad dollars.
Customer Engagement
Expecting to grow your customer base without investing in paid advertising is something to be reconsidered. The world online is competitive but it also has enormous opportunities for your business. Paid advertising can be effective with as little as $100/month depending on your audience and targeting. Social Media platforms vary in price for investments in push advertising, and Google is the leader in paid pull advertising.
Paid Advertising
All marketing strategies require the ability to be evaluated. Digital advertising is unique from most other advertising in the way it can be evaluated and tracked. All marketing with Cinch is inclusive of comprehensive reporting. We use the data to plan strategy with customers, manage budget changes, create trending and creative content, and further develop goal setting and growth.
