  9. A Digital Marketing Strategy
  10. Do you have a strategy? • If so where is it? – In your head Strategy ? – On the back of a scrap piece of paper – Or a professionally written document?
  11. Source : Smart Insights
  12. WEBSITE & ONLINE PLATFORMS Transfer Skills Consultancy WEB ANALYTICS WEBSITE DESIGN & BUILD Support Customer Service ONLINE STRATEGY
  13. Where to Start? The Basics!
  14. “a failure to plan is a plan to fail”.
  15. A Clear Vision You’re directionless We find that companies without a digital strategy (and many that do) don’t have clear vision
  16. Goals and Objectives • Strategic goals allow you to understand what you want to achieve? • Sell more products • Gaining new customers • Build deeper relationships with existing customers? • If you don’t have goals • You don’t put enough resources to reach the goals • You don’t evaluate through analytics whether you’re achieving those goals.
  17. With no strategy do you know your potential? • You won’t know your online market share • You could underestimate customer demand • Waste time, resource and money in the wrong areas • An ad-hoc approach simply does not work! • You’re always second guessing
  18. You struggle to define your online value proposition • Will help you differentiate your online brand • Encouraging existing and new customers to engage • With the aim to stay loyal
  19. Integrated not “disintegrated”! • It’s all too common for digital activities to be completed in silos • Statistics prove that digital marketing works best when integrated with traditional media
  20. Have an open mind! • Embrace digital marketing • Be sceptical • Be open in new ideas • If you look at the top online brands like Amazon, Dell, Google, Tesco they’re all trialling new approaches to gain or keep their online audiences.
  21. You’re simply not optimising • Most company website now have analytics • We find many senior managers/owners don’t ensure that they take time to review them
  22. Analyse and Benchmark! • Do you know how big your online footprint is? • Do you know your competitors? • What are they doing? • Do you know your customers? • Do you know where they hang out? • Do they have a typical profile? • Search criteria? • Do you know the potential for different online channels?
  23. Understand the Market Place • Google has updated their algorithm 200 times in the last 6 months! • Facebook have 1 billion users! • 140 million Twitter users globally • Twitter now has 10m users in UK • UK is the fourth-largest country with 80% accessing it with mobile phones Sources: Guardian Mashable Maolcom Coles

  36. Be bold!
  37. Don’t take the easy option.. • Don’t be fooled • Don’t be tempted • Online marketing is a long term and continuous commitment • Cheap is not always best
  38. If you’re not achieving... Ask yourself a number of straight questions... • Is my strategy clear? • Are my goals realistic? • Do I have enough resource……
  39. Final thoughts • If you’re not devoting enough resources to digital marketing or you’re using an ad-hoc approach with no clearly defined strategy, then your competitors will gain the advantage
  40. Generate UK Advantage
  41. What does it take to get a potential customer to you site?
  42. Investing in a great Ecommerce Website, SEO, Link Building, Social media, etc. is a must but it’s not enough
  43.  For an Ecommerce site It’s vital to get your pricing right  Too high and you lose a potential sale.  Too low and you’ve lost out on potential margin. The last thing you want is to sell something too cheap.  Getting your price point correct is extremely important.  So, is the solution is to spend all day, every day comparing prices on your competitors websites? Generate Advantage is the answer
  44.  We track your competitors online prices daily.  This is done discreetly without your competitors' knowledge.  Daily report showing latest price from each of your competitors for your chosen products.  All price changes that have occurred since the previous day will be highlighted  Increase profitability and cut cost

  1. As a company we’re very proud in the fact that we have built an excellent reputation both locally and nationally for delivering quality work and knowing our subject matter. Recently we appear on the BBC, a programme called Click a technology programme talking about the benefits of business blogging. As a company we try and do things differently and try bring an element of fun to the work place and working ways to raise money for charity
  2. So today will focus on understanding the task head – asking ourselves some hard hitting questionsDon’t take the easy option – often we find people taking short cuts.....Ecommerce example...only yesterday I was talking to someone who has recently found a piece of software online to build a shopping cart website, so uploading products etc is great, drag and drop and he said it was really cheap but now he found out that platform only processes paypal transactions and he needs a full shopping cart facility to process all the other payment options....and these is now going to cost him twice as much and has delayed his project?Know your competitors! Do your research, often this really overlooked as you can learn loads from your competitors, understanding what’s working for them and capitalising on areas where there focus is less.Creating Platforms is probably the most important part of this presentation – companies need to invest in future proof web platforms. We’ve seen some real horror story’s here and it pain me every time I see companies investing good money in bad technology and often its not the fact that the technology is bad it a case of it doesn’t fit their business requirements. And this is due to bad preparation and planning. Lastly once you know the task ahead, understand what your competitors are doing and you’ve researched and opted for some great flexible platforms to enable you to grow, you can start to develop a effective online strategy!
