1) Setting the scene for strategic

digital marketing


We need to be strategic in our

approach...


… But what does that mean?


5 things all businesses can do to be more strategic in their

approach


#1: Start gathering and analysing your

data


What other sources of data do

we have?


CRM Sales Team

CS team

Social media

Surveys


Ask:- Do people visit our website?- Where do they come from?

- What do they look at?- Do they convert?


#2: Get to know your audience


http://impression.tips/brightonlaura

Ask:- Who visits our website?- What are their needs?

- How can we help them?- How well does our website

appeal to them?


#3: Set clear goals


What are your goals?


- Lead generation = thank you pages- Awareness = traffic and rankings

- Sales = conversions- Engagement = time on site, pages per visit

- Also consider softer conversions


What’s the value of a website visitor?


- What’s the ASP?- What’s your conversion rate?

- How many visits do you therefore need for one sale?

- ASP / number of visits = value of a visit

<< Inform our budgeting decisions! >>


ASP = £50Conversion rate = 3%

We need 33 visitors to get one sale (100/3)Each visitor is worth £1.51 (50/33)


#4: Understand your competition

- Who outranks you?- Who’s bidding against you?

- What are they doing?- What can we learn?

- How can we be better?
