If you keep doing what you always did, you might actually get less that you always got! What worked last year wont necessarily work this year.
It is important to keep measuring, improving and evaluating your Digital Marketing Strategy and always be on the look out for ways to do things better or even to stop activities that are not working.
Three poor Digital Marketing Strategies that we see all too often.
- Set a budget for Google Ads and make sure the Website looks good
- Create lots of social media accounts, post daily and build your audience
- Undertake lots of different digital marketing activities and hope it all works out
These strategies rarely lead to success and are certainly not efficient
