Offline Marketing and Online Marketing

Your business is an offline business does not mean you will have to use only offline marketing. You can use online marketing or offline marketing irrespective of your business type. If your business has a website, you can promote your website via social media or search engines. Even if it does not have a website, you can promote product ads through various digital marketing channels.

The main idea behind marketing is to educate people about the product so that they will buy and you make profits. This is not as simple as it sounds. You will have to educate to only those people who are your true customers. Will you have sales if you promote to people who are not buying your product no matter what? You need to do research and find your true customers and then market to these people. You will also have to devise a marketing method that will be attractive to your customers.

You can do organic marketing through Search engine optimization and social media marketing. However, these two methods work only in certain conditions, for instance.

How to Identify and Reach Your Customers

Without identifying your ideal customers, it is not possible to generate sales. You can reach your target customers, only when you know who they are. One of the easiest strategies to identify your target customers is analyzing your products and services. What you sell determines your customers. When you know who your target customers are you can use a strategy that appeals to them. The entire marketing campaign should be designed in a way that from marketing platform to marketing method actually appeals to your audience. It is very important to create effective marketing to reach your ideal costumers as well as generate sales.

You will have to see a couple of things, one, who your customers are, where your customers are located, how can you reach your customers, how much money do you actually need to reach your customers. Let's say your customers are housewives, now you will have to see where they are located. You might find them on tiktok. Now you need to see how to reach them on tiktok. You can start advertising, partnering with influencer, or sharing content. Now you need to figure out how much money you need for this purpose.

Are CPC Ads Good for Advertising

CPC means cost per click, which refers to the advertising method where you pay per click on your ads. When an advertiser runs CPC ad campaign, he will be paying for every click generated on his ads. People do not randomly click on ads, when they click, they do because they are interested  in the product or service advertised. Therefore, clicks are likely to end up with sales. Therefore, CPC ads are good for advertisers and advertisers pay for each click on their ads which is likely to generate sales. However, CPC ads are also expensive  because the average CPC rate on Google is around $2.

You might do a lot of marketing and promotion to attract customers, however, if your product is not good no matter how aggressively you market your product, you will be unable to bring more customers to your business. The rule of thumb is the product should speak for itself, i.e. product should be quality.

Using Facebook Ads to Generate Sales

I frequently use Facebook ads to generate sales on the products I am selling through Facebook (Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Shop, etc.) as well as products I am selling through my own website and ecommere markets (Etsy, Amazon, etc.). I get around 5 percent conversion. With this conversion rate, I not only manage to recover ad spending but also make some profits. The best thing about Facebook ads is it is low cost and has a wide reach

If you are selling something on Facebook either through Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Shop, Facebook Page, Facebook Group or simply from your timeline, and not getting sales, one of the easiest ways to boost sales is by running ads. Facebook are are good not only to sell products on Facebook for also generate sales on products on other marketplaces. For instance, if you are selling from eBay products, Amazon, or Etsy, you can also promote these products through Facebook ads.There are two reasons why Facebook ads are good, one, it is low cost, and two, you can reach millions of people in very short time.

Understanding Google Ads: Impression Vs. Clicks

If you want to use Google Ads, you will have to understand a lot of things, but let’s focus on two major things, ad impression and ad clicks.

High impression low CTR (click through rate): If you get high impression but few clicks, you might be able to improve your brand awareness but it will have low conversion as you might have poorly optimized for target audience.

High impression high clicks: If this is happening, it indicates that your campaign is properly optimized for target audience and you are also improving brand awareness.

Low impression low CTR: This could be a result of poorly targeted  campaign, low ad budget and low quality ads.

Low impressions, high CTR:  This indicates that you have targeted your ad to small audience so your brand awareness is not improving.

YouTube as a Business Marketing Platform

Well, most people use YOutube to watch videos for entertainment, information, and education. However, the use of YouTube goes beyond just watching videos. It is also a platform for sharing videos, and making money from videos. Well, the purpose of youtube can go beyonf watching videos or just sharing videos, it is also a powerful platform for businesses and individuals to market and promote products, services, or business in general. You can use youtube to drive traffic and making sales. How do you do it. Well, you can publish videos related to your business and market your products or services, or you can do run video ads.

Video Marketing

Video marketing is a type of content marketing where you use audio visual medium to reach your customers. There are a lot of ways to do video marketing. One of the most common ways to do it is by creating videos and sharing these videos on social media sites. You can create videos for your products and services and publish them on sites like facebook, tiktik, instagram, etc. Second way is to create a video ad and then promote your video ads through Google ads or facebook ads.

Influencer Marketing

Since I am not an influencer, the only way I can use influencer marketing is by hiring an influencer. Actually, I have worked with a couple of influencers and I have really benefitted from influencer marketing. However, a lot of so-called influencers build following by buying followers, therefore, you can be cheated. I paid $10 to an Instagram influencer for posting my service just for once. I managed to get two contracts that paid me more than $100. The point is influencer marketing converts well but you need to go with the influencer in your niche and an influencer who has genuine followers.

Before you hire any influencer for your marketing campaign, you need to see what kind of audience the influencer has. The influencer audience should match with your target audience. For example, if you want to sell to elderly people but the influencer has young people as followers, you mifght not benefit much. If you want to sell locally, local influencers can be good but you also need to see if the influencer actually have local followers. You will also have to see if the followers are genuine or not

Using AI For Marketing

I do not think AI is actually disrupting the business world or marketing world, in fact AI tools are helping businesses and marketers to reach the target customers easily by allowing them to automate their management as well as marketing. For instance, with AI you can create marketing materials in a couple of minutes, which other wise could take many hours, you can even use AI bots to provide customer services, so AI tools are good

There are a lot of usages of AI tools but sadly people are using them just for writing content from scratch or rewriting and paraphrasing text. As a content writer, you can also use AI for researching content and topic ideas, creating content outlines, creating content briefs,  adding more text to the existing content, and improving tone and voice. AI tools are not just for content writes, they have a huge usage for marketers as well.  You can create the entire content marketing strategy by using AI, you can do audience research, as well as create visual content for marketing (videos and images). You can also improve SEO by optimizing copy for target keywords, optimize content for specific audience, write meta tags, group keywords, etc. By the way do you use AI tools for marketing?

Things to Consider While Selling Online

There is nothing that cannot be sold online as long as you have marketing skills. If you want to make money by selling online, the first thing you need, apart from the item you want to sell, is marketing skills. However, success in selling also depends on your products. Some products are easier to sell. Therefore, you need to find out marketable products and then use  effective marketing strategies. Success depends on what you are selling and how you are selling.

Can You Actually Generate Sales With Low Budget Marketing

Do you really need to spend a lot of money on marketing to generate sales, or can you actually generate sales even from low budget marketing methods. There are several low-cost marketing methods you can use as a business owner and marketer. For example, it does not cost a lot of money to market on social media or through emails and newsletters.
