The internet has absolutely transformed marketing. With over 4 billion users, the internet is a gateway to consumers the likes of which has never been seen before in history. If you want to compete in today’s marketing landscape, all of your campaigns must have a strong online component. With that in mind, below are five tips you can use to improve your online marketing.

Make Your Social Media Accounts a Focus

One of the most powerful online marketing tools available to companies is one that is completely free for them to use, social media. An extremely large swatch of the public is on social media. Facebook, for example, now has 2.2 billion users. Focusing on building your social media following can give you a direct pipeline to scores of consumers that can help spread your marketing materials for you.

Content Is Key

Content based marketing is extremely important in regards to advertising online and on social media. You need to provide consumers with something that they don’t immediately perceive as an ad and has value on its own. Internet users tend to react negatively to marketing content that seems like an obvious commercial. Just think of the bad reputation that “spam” email has.

Include a Call to Action in Social Media Posts

While social media is a different animal entirely compared to other marketing platforms, you shouldn’t forget the basics. A call to action is integral to producing leads and getting consumers to purchase your products. This is even the case for social media posts.

Stay Cognizant of Online Reviews

Online user reviews and ratings are some of the biggest determinants of consumer behavior today. Review websites like Trip Advisor, Yelp, Urban Spoon and more can absolutely make or break your business. While you can’t ethically alter bad user reviews and ratings, you can do your best to address the criticisms and issues customers bring up in them. Think of them as opportunities to improve.

Attend a Marketing Retreat or Seminar

While there’s a lot you can learn from the internet about digital marketing and social media, sometimes the best knowledge can come from seminars and marketing retreats like The Rainmaker Retreat and similar events. Listening to experts discuss new online marketing strategies in person can be a great learning experience that you can apply directly to your business’s online campaigns.

The internet and social media are powerful tools you can use to reach consumers all over the globe. They are also extremely cost effective marketing choices when compared to other options. Make sure to put enough effort into your online campaigns to make them successful.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
