Since the internet broke into our lives, we have all become “dependent” and we will not know what to do without it. In 2021, the internet ruled our lives and now the dependency is becoming more and more relevant. However, marketing should not and does not just stop there. Whilst we use the internet for our digital marketing, traditional marketing methods are still effectively, especially for smaller local businesses. So, it’s time to market. Once you have realised that traditional marketing is still important today, it’s time for us to focus on ways to improve your digital presence too.

Internet Marketing Benefits
Among these benefits is the ability to reach a high level of accuracy during the campaign, so that only the relevant and potential target audience for the business will be exposed to the advertised product – most Internet marketing channels allow the advertiser to segment according to defined criteria including: geographical area, age, interests and more. A significant advantage that succeeds in changing the rules of the game when it comes to advertising businesses, is the ability to advertise in small amounts of money, so that not only corporations can afford to advertise, but also small and medium businesses, can examine the feasibility of advertising depending on the channel chosen by them or professionals.
Another advantage asked us (the advertisers) to ignore it, is the ability to track the success of the campaign – for each marketing campaign that the advertiser launches, you can get accurate data and statistics analysis (how many conversions the campaign yielded, how many were exposed to the campaign, how many screens are exposed, click and more). The conversion rates later on will be higher over time.
The main channels for effective online marketing
Statistics speak of over 3.3 billion surfers who choose to use the Internet regularly. Each and every one of these users (surfers), is a potential customer, who can relatively easily become a paying customer. In order to allow potential customers (Internet surfers) to get to know your business, product or service, it is appropriate to conduct a marketing setup in full accordance with the needs of the business. Network marketing can be spread over a number of main and secondary channels, some of which rely on each other while others stand on their own. To allow you to get to know the marketing channels, you can research the types of things available and where you should consider looking at housing some of your marketing campaigns, for example Instagram or Pinterest.
Building and designing websites for businesses
The website is the business card of your business – without it the surfers would not know you exist and if they did, they would not have a home to access it. The website presents, among other things, your business activities, the products or services provided by you and, of course, the service agreement, if any. Design, content strategy, proper construction of the site and user experience, are what will allow you to gain customers and leverage your business activity, sometimes significantly.
Web design and design
A point to think about about a business website – beyond being essential in itself, there are a number of marketing activities that are supported on the website (or your landing page), so if you choose to do organic promotion which is an essential marketing channel in the current era, you can not do without it. Organic Website Promotion ( SEO ) is vital for growth. This marketing procedure allows any business owner to increase the exposure of the site in the search engines, especially Google. Website promotion includes a number of basic and extended actions, thanks to which the website floats towards the top of the search results – a surfer who will search for information about a product or service, will come directly to your website and become a potential customer – your website is built, written and well designed? They will probably become your next and satisfied customer.
The field of SEO is a dynamic field that is changing at a rapid pace and therefore only professionals from the field, who work day and night on the subject of “SEO” and make sure to keep track of the changes, are the ones who can perform professional website promotion. The most important point that every website promoter should remember and internalize is: “Google seeks to give surfers added value.” True, there will be those who click and say that Google rolls out disproportionate sums of money from advertisements and therefore its whole essence is money, but the real truth and its cornerstone, is to provide surfers with a reliable platform for collecting professional and accurate information.

Organic SEO
SEO (similar to other areas of life), allows many to find loopholes in the field and promote sites in unprofessional ways, which have managed to yield results, but for a short and very limited time – Google knows when to work on it and when to invest – always choose the long way and not shortcuts. Collapse you and generate your expenses instead of income.
Advertising on Google
Paying to move forward is a great method for those who want to enjoy immediate results and at the same time accumulate information about the target audience. Sponsored promotion has become a very common marketing channel, which allows the advertiser to increase the traffic from the search engines to the desired site. The synonym for sponsored promotion is PPC because the payment method used in it – Pay Per Click – the advertiser only pays for clicks that the surfers made on the campaign ads.
Every single aspect of marketing starts with an idea and a way to reach your customers in an innovative fashion. 2021 has changed the way in which we communicate, but possibly not forever. So whilst it is important to look at digital ways, as we first mentioned, run this alongside other traditional marketing types and speaking and connecting face to face, with tangible marketing products. See it as an 80/20 rule. It’s time to succeed!
