Are you committing these 5 cardinal sins of small business marketing? Read below to find out!
1. Not setting goals
Setting those digital marketing checkpoints ensures you’ve got deadlines to meet enabling you to analyse your progression. That way, you’ve got a plan in place on how to achieve such goals.
2. Not listening to feedback
Yes, we all love hearing positive feedback and feeding that warm fuzzy feeling of pride, but when customers tell you something less favourable, do you sit up and listen, taking into account their opinions? Thank them for their time and learn from their not so great experiences.
3. Not focusing on your website
Expanding your online presence should be so important to small business owners, and that starts with a great website. Reap the benefits of expanding your network of customers with one that says all the right things and converts those leads.
4. Not considering all aspects of digital marketing
There are plenty of ways to attract sales, so have you covered all bases? Generate traffic using SEO, social media marketing and paid advertising, to mention a few.
5. Not staying consistent
Your digital marketing needs to be fresh, engaging and relevant to your targeted customers – BUT, it also needs to be consistent! Are you posting 5 times a week, then forgetting altogether the following week? Does your branding sound the same with every email? Ensure you are driving a catchy, distinguishable, consistent message every time you go online.
