Internet Marketing Strategy

In order to spread awareness, you need to market your business. However, marketing today is vastly different than marketing of just a few years ago. The age of information is fast upon us, and with it comes a new era of marketing strategies. With so many marketing options available today, what is the best way to allocate your marketing efforts?
Advertising Options
Let’s be honest: Print ads are “so 90s.” While sometimes effective, they are exorbitantly expensive and difficult to quantify the effectiveness of. The same can be said of radio and TV advertisements; not to mention TV ads are going out the window with the ability to record television and skip ads. Fortunately, businesses are not limited to traditional advertising. Today, the Internet contains nearly all of the information of the 21st century and is used by the vast majority of potential consumers. Search engines like Google sort through this information with hopes of delivering to you the most relevant information, and that is why today 90% of consumers find local businesses via search engines and not through paid advertising.
