How to Increase Profits with Digital Marketing

Just in case you’re still not convinced about the power of digital marketing, let’s just start this conversation by having a look at what Google has to say about its ability to increase growth:

“Highly digitally engaged” SMEs [small or medium-sized enterprises]—that is, SMEs that are making the most use of online tools like websites, online marketing, and social media—are 2.8 times more likely to enjoy revenue growth than those who did not use the Internet.”

However, having a solid strategy is an essential first step in reaping the benefits of digital marketing. When you have the right skills and the right experience, you’ll be able to evaluate the goals of any business and create a tailored strategy that’s aligned with those objectives and execute campaigns that will increase profits through:

•       Increased traffic
•       More leads
•       Higher conversion rates
•       More sales
•       Higher sale values
•       Greater brand recognition

Moreover, digital marketing training can increase success by improving efficiency, inspiring more innovative approaches to strategies and products, providing a better understanding of the buyer journey, and increasing audience engagement. Finally, by investing in training for your employees, you’ll also increase motivation, morale, and satisfaction, all while providing them with vital skills. In fact, 35 to 40 percent of employers (according to Tom Fisher Associates) state that training will improve both employee productivity and morale, and digital marketing training in areas like social media, content marketing, e-commerce marketing, and more will benefit both the employees and the business.
