How exactly do you sell to a market that refuses to lend you a listening ear? Once upon a time when you needed to buy something you had to get up, go to an actual store, pick up what you wanted and pay with cash nowadays to purchase the necessities to stay alive you could just order it from any of the available online stores which although is convenient for the buyer makes it harder for new products to make a name whilst further cementing those of established companies.
The introduction of the internet changed the market as we know it forever the way we now purchase and get to know about products and services has changed. Market diversity is broader than ever, with new companies and innovations springing up in the market that will only continue to get even better. Especially with the current workforce being dependent on the internet not only for work but also for pleasure. It is safe to assume that the upcoming generation will be more dependent on the internet to get goods and services than any other generation before them.
E-commerce is not going anywhere in the foreseeable future
With the internet being the most popular and accessible source for entertainment, information, and communication with over 4.9bn users worldwide, advertising products on the internet is definitely one of the best ways to get to meet potential buyers. Some of the best ways to make sure consumers learn of your product over the internet are;
Social media marketing
pay per click search advertising
email marketing
One of the most significant advantages of internet ads over traditional advertisements is that these ads agencies typically provide feedback data, not just on how many people saw your ads but also on how many clicked on them, giving you information you can use to grow and improve both your ads and your products.
The best way to describe this kind of marketing that enables data-driven decisions is called growth marketing and it is not only effective but flexible. It involves using data, in this case data from ad agencies, to build logical and effective marketing strategies. Growth marketing works with any kind of marketing data but its strength is best demonstrated when the internet is used to market goods and services since the internet naturally has a wide range of users.
Don’t just advertise use feedback data to your advantage
Customer satisfaction surprisingly goes a long way as a satisfied customer is more likely to not only repurchase but also recommend your products & services to their friends and family. Using data provided by both ad agencies and customers themselves to keep in touch, provide personalized services, reduce customer effort and make buying from you an overall satisfying and smooth experience goes a long way.
A happy customer will always come back
Growth marketing takes time, just as actual growth does. The more data the better. Rather than looking at ad campaigns that yield unwanted results as failures use them as references of what doesn’t work
