Facebook is constantly evolving as a platform. Since its inception and launch, the social media site has incorporated and advanced its advertising capabilities. At the same time, it has changed how organic traffic works and how many of your audience members your content will be shared with. By showing your content to fewer users organically, Facebook pushes its business users to pay in order to get their message across.
This may be a sound business practice for Facebook and its shareholders, but not for small and medium-sized businesses wishing to create a community on the website.
Let’s dive in to Facebook marketing, specifically in Singapore.

Websites should reflect your business and evolve with the constant changes and growth. Sometimes these changes are slow and small, other times seismic and unexpected.
Currently, businesses are doing one of two things, shuttering or pivoting to survive due to the government’s response to Covid-19.
If it is the former, you have an opportunity to capture new customers from your old competition and grow your market share.

Before shelter-in-place orders end, it is vital to rethink your digital marketing to make it as strong as possible to aid your business recovery.

You must take some steps now to encourage consumers to go back to their habits that were working for you before the coronavirus pandemic began. If more than 66 days have passed, then you are going to need to encourage new digital behaviors that work in your company’s favor.

When marketing your business and assigning an advertising budget, you want to know that your money will be well spent and comes with SEO ranking guarantees. Just as with equipment purchased for your daily operation, you need the confidence that the promotional methods you choose will translate to paying customers. With digital marketing, is it always possible to get a guarantee that your outlay will have a specific outcome?
Going the local route is often considered a positive change when doing business. However, there are times where going for homegrown talent is not the best decision to make.

For smart business people who are looking to expand their digital presence, few options surpass the one presented by Google My Business. In the coming years, this already important channel will gain even more prominence.
Local search is now the primary channel for businesses to gain website traffic. Google Maps and related properties not only send qualified local traffic, but they also send people who are far into the purchasing cycle. For just about any business, what’s better than eligible customers arriving or calling due to a search?

“The best way to engage honestly with the marketplace via Twitter is to never use the words “engage,” “honestly,” or “marketplace.”
So many companies and individuals get extremely hung up when it comes to connecting with their marketplace. While there are many people using Twitter for promotional materials it is very important to consider that you shouldn’t make your tweets overt advertisements.
People can get very tired of the same tweets over and over again and desire some type of engaging content in order to keep them following your page. Remember while it is important to advertise your product online is much more important to connect with your customer base to establish a brand loyalty and rapport.

“On Twitter we get excited if someone follows us. In real life we get really scared and run away.”
Isn’t it amazing how far we’ve come with social media even within just the past few years. From the initial creation of a few websites where people could connect, eventually spawned more intuitive systems such as twitter that now connect us in ways we never thought possible. Twitter has started a revolution in connecting people across classes, cultures and creeds. Ultimately a follow online could be all that it takes to open up a new online community.

“It’s much easier to double your business by doubling your conversion rate than by doubling your traffic.” Jeff Eisenberg
Companies today are extremely focused on building their customer base and establishing a massive market for their products. It seems as though traffic is king when it comes to online interactions and the focus for many marketing campaigns. Companies feel as though if they can draw someone to their page, they should be able to make a sale of their products. By making efforts to massively draw traffic into their page regardless of where it’s coming from, many companies are successful in making sales.

While there are many digital marketing strategies you can use for your business, content marketing is often underestimated. It’s not just a trend in marketing circles. The goal of using content is to attract members of your target audience through valuable content. This brings prospects into your marketing funnel where you can build a relationship with them or follow up with a drip marketing campaign.
It’s a big contrast to traditional push marketing strategies where you try to interrupt and get in front of your target audience with your offer. With content, you are presenting value before an offer or even asking for a sale. You are showcasing your authority, establishing your credibility, and building your brand through the content.
Even with the constant changes in Google’s search engine algorithms, keywords remain as one of the main focal points to building a successful SEO campaign. Targeting the right keywords is what allows your website to be found by the right prospects. It helps your business show up for searches that are relevant to the problems, needs, and wants of your target audience.
