Digital Marketing Methods for Start-Up Companies

Do you want to boost your start-up company with Digital Marketing methods? Don’t know which Digital Marketing methods are effective? In this blog, we will tell you which Digital Marketing methods are the most important for your Start-Up business.

1. Email Marketing

Even though e-mail marketing was predicted to die in the marketing world, e-mails are still delivering Return on Investment (R.O.I.) to marketers. Recently, Demand Metric and the Data & Marketing Association (DMA) conducted a survey, which concluded that e-mail marketing had an ROI of 122%. This is four times higher than the other marketing channels, which were also analysed. These channels included: paid search, direct mail and social media. Which company wouldn’t want a marketing strategy like this? And the best thing about using e-mail marketing is that it doesn’t cost you loads of money either.

2. Social Media Marketing

These days, mostly everyone uses some sort of social media. This is a huge opportunity for companies as social media is now one of the most powerful digital marketing tools that are currently being used.

The most important thing about social media marketing is to find the right platform to use. If one company has a very big success on a certain social media platform, for example, Instagram, it will not mean that you will get the same success. Before you go on these social media platforms, it is important to understand what your target audience wants. Understanding who your target audience is will be the first step for you to create your social media platforms.

Each different social media platforms offer different things for your company. This is why researching and looking into each of them will benefit you and your company. Not every company needs all of the different social media platforms. Pick the social media platforms that are relevant to your business and social media platforms your company can benefit from using. For example, if you are trying to reach other businesses, LinkedIn and Facebook are one of the top social media platforms you can use. If you are trying to connect with the general public, Instagram, in some cases, would be a good fit for your company.
