Online Marketing Techniques

By Exforsys | on November 17, 2009 |
Marketing Management

Businesses invest in marketing and product advertisements to gain public awareness and increase the target market. Traditionally, marketing and promotional activities utilize offline marketing such as the print media, television, and radio. But marketers have gone beyond the conventional in their strategies.

The advent of internet technology has paved the way for a more dynamic and extensive marketing approach. Almost every business engages in online marketing which elicits more interaction from the customers and even prospects, globally.

Developing Brand Name Recognition in the Website

A company that ventures into online marketing must maintain a website as their powerful marketing tool. Even without incorporating other online marketing techniques in the website, a company can create brand name recognition for customers to easily identify and recall the products and services.

The company logo is one of the ways to make customers remember brand names easily. Make the logo attractive on your website so that the first time the users see it online, they can tell it is your company because they associate it with the business.

Your website must be intellectually and aesthetically designed and user friendly. Use graphics and layouts that are not too overly designed. Articles must be easily understandable to address general readership, unless you are eyeing on a selected market segment. If you wish to attract readers, create a caption for your company, one that is striking to the interest of the customers.

Essential Online Marketing Techniques

Search Engine Optimization is one of the contributing factors to the essence of online marketing. Internet is mostly driven by a lot of search engines. When we want to find out something through the internet, we make use of these search engines to generate search results for us.

Make sure your company website is on top of the list in the results so that users will have the chance to check out your link. According to studies, websites or links that are higher up on the list in the search results are more likely to be clicked and noticed by the users. For a company website to be clicked most often, a strategy for this is to increase the number of keywords in the website.

Another technique that companies can use for their website is the use of pay-per-click advertisements. This strategy attracts online users and helps generate an increasing number of consumers who click or browse the website. For every click, the host of the ad is paid with a small amount, thus the name pay-per-click. These small advertisements require minimal maintenance while generating traffic to your website plus the number of clicks can be monitored.

Blogging is a very common online marketing technique. People now use the internet for leisure and an outlet for expressing ideas. Blogging is a good technique to capitalize on users who consume a good number of hours on the internet. You can encourage existing customers to create a blog that will serve as testimonies about the benefits of the product.

Advantages of Online Marketing

Marketing in the virtual world is one of the tactics that businesses now engage in. Especially for small-scale businesses, online marketing offers them advantageous effects. For one, it is not as expensive as the traditional or offline marketing types. A small business now has the chance to compete on somehow the same level of marketing with large-scale businesses on the internet. They can afford to pay for their business website just as big companies do. A pay-per-click ad fee is not that expensive compared to a whole page newspaper advertisement. Blogging is soliciting ideas, more like a word-of-mouth advertisement, and it barely entails huge expenses.



Another advantage is that it can reach a wider potential market globally. Some companies make it big in the business world because they gradually become recognized in a larger market. This advantage is enjoyed by large companies with international business affiliations. In order to make the most out of this benefit of reaching a wider market, the website must have features that not just attract customers but also get them into the business. A sample feature is online shopping where customers need not call your office or go to your store to purchase but simply do on the internet using their credit cards.
