by

With web development you may have to invest money and not actually see any physical changes immediately, especially in marketing. You may have to invest heavily upfront to start to reap the rewards later on but this requires trust and knowledge that your web marketing team know what they are doing. Never just let a marketing company run away with your budget without explaining how it is going to be spent. Ideally try and ask them to give you some sort of idea as to what you can expect in return and how long it will take, at least this way it will give you something to be able to monitor against.

You may need to invest time and money, trusting that in a few months you will start to see why.

If you in any doubt as to what is being suggested to you, don’t be afraid to find out more and you could even do a bit of your own research.

 

 

Content marketing tips and advice

by

Many business owners may of heard the term content marketing but are not really sure exactly what it means or in fact how or what they need to do. Content has always been important in terms of marketing but recently teams and roles are being created within companies to tackle this subject. As a result of this, content is becoming more tactical and is being thought about in more detail.

When writing content, try not to just think about your customers but also about your visitors. You may be speaking to people that have never visited your site before or are at the very early stages of the buying process so it is important not to get too carried away with technical jargon or limiting choices at this early stage.

These allow you to get the most out of one piece of writing and different media’s will attract different types of visitors allowing you a greater reach.
