It’s pretty exciting once you’ve made the decision to invest in a new website or redesign your current one. But simply having a shiny new website isn’t enough to guarantee success. You still need to figure out how to get your existing customers and prospects to visit your new website.
So how do you make sure you’re getting the right traffic to your website?
Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing is more than simply creating a company Facebook page or Twitter account. It’s about communicating directly with your target demographic on their preferred social media platform in a way they are receptive to. Effective social media marketing helps you create better brand awareness and customer loyalty by providing clients and prospects with content that is relevant to them, establishing your company as an authority in your industry and an indispensable resource for your customers.
Email Marketing
Email marketing is a great way to re-engage with your existing customers. Today’s leading B2B manufacturers send emails to promote their new products and sales or inform clients internal changes within the company. Email marketing campaigns provide you with valuable insight into how many of your customers or prospects open your email, visit your website from links in the email and make purchases or request quotes after receiving the email. You can analyze and use this information to create new email marketing campaigns to effectively engage your audience.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo are display organic search results in order of how relevant the websites are to the keyword or query the user searched for.
