Digital Marketing - A Better Aim Means Wasting Fewer Arrows

Digital Marketing – A Better Aim Means Wasting Fewer Arrows

May 9, 2023

With digital technology it’s never been easier or cheaper to win new customers. That’s what everyone tells you, right?

Does it feel easier and cheaper to you? It certainly should do. If it doesn’t there could be a few critical parts of your marketing puzzle missing.

Has Ease Made Us Wasteful?

Perhaps marketing in the digital age seems so easy and inexpensive that we’ve become accustomed to wastage. It doesn’t matter if we miss the target because we’ve got another truckload of cheap mass-produced arrows to launch.

Problem is: efficiency does matter. And efficiency comes from effectiveness and knowing where the target is. Of course it also helps to know which way round to hold the bow (maybe we’ve stretched this analogy far enough now).

It’s time to reconnect with a few marketing fundamentals.

As great as digital is, we’ve found it adds most value when it’s blended with principles we’ve known about for years.

So our process still starts with finding out everything we can about your ideal customer: their problems, ambitions, frustrations, fears and how they define value.

Digital still hasn’t found any substitute for a solid value proposition and well-considered positioning. Targeted messaging and great creative work are still vital.

Automate Your Lead Generation

Your business can now do so much more with these vital insights for a relatively small cost. And digital can drive an automated lead generation process that helps you build a strong pipeline of high-converting opportunities.

Perhaps you’ve dabbled with digital marketing with mixed results. Maybe your old agency never showed you how to put the basics in place first. Did they ask you what your value proposition was or actually help you to develop it? Big difference.
