What is Marketing?
Digital Marketing & Your Brand
Everything we do in business to make money is Marketing, Customer Service, selling products or services, building our brand, reaching new customers, special offers…. Digital marketing is using digital technologies to achieve this. It is the art of being found online.
At Creatus.ie, we work with our clients to build the best Digital Marketing Portfolio that will help their brand reach more people, so they can see the range of products or services that our clients have to offer.
The corner stone of every Digital Marketing Campaign will be our client’s website, all marketing roads must lead back to this, every time. A website gives total control over what the users and potential customers will see about your brand, products or services.
All successful brands online today will find ways to get their customers to their website from social media posts, online advertising, even printed media. This is because they know the power of their Website Brand and the message they can portray from their online presence.
(SEO) Search Engine Optimisation
This is the process that search engines use to rank every page of every website in the world, with over 2 billion websites available on the internet… there could be over 180 quadrillion pages, a needle in a stack of needles the size of a mountain.
SEO is the process of ensuring your website content is of high quality. It is the art of getting your brand ranking high in online searches and being found by those potential customers who need to find you.
It is a time consuming process, but if the basics are covered you will get half way very quickly. Like Social Media, SEO is a continual process of measuring your results and improving them all the time.
Build a Website
It allows you to control all of your content for your users. Your content must be Relevant, Unique and Interesting to attract new users.
High Quality dynamic content will keep them coming back for more and is excellent for good SEO results. Content must continually improve and change to keep users interested.
Content, Content, Content
The single most important aspect of ANY digital presence, especially a website. The content is what attracts people, but more importantly it keeps them coming back.
Too many small businesses do not realise how important it is. Like a restaurant it is the menu, like a retail outlet it is the stock, like a B&B it is the bedrooms and customer service.
Design for Mobile First
More internet users are using mobile devices like phones or tablets to search the internet or view their social media pages. Search Engines rank sites higher for mobile safe pages.
Having your website designed for mobile first, ensures all your pages will be viewed optimally on these devices. The web developer can then adjust settings automatically for Laptops or PCs.
Google for business
This is a wonderful tool for your business. It allows you to directly tell google all about your business, products or services, location, opening hours, all contact information etc.
Combined with a well developed, easy to use mobile website site, users can see everything they need to about your products or services on the go.
Get a professional
Quality Content – Images, Video and text. Modern devices can take great high resolution Photos and Video, but the quality of the content must be good too.
Get a Photographer or Videographer, they have years of experience, they have an artistic eye, they know what they are doing. The best money you will ever spend on your business.
Social Media Marketing
With more and more businesses using social media platforms as a way to promote their products or services, it is important to use each platform properly.
Social Media Pages are NOT websites, the posts you publish are time limited and are only seen for a short period of time.
Users like interesting content, so instead of selling, try to get users interested in your products with images, video or articles and link your posts to more information on your website.
