Great branding

You have to get your brand right. Understand your brand guidelines - brand logo, colour palette, typography, bank of images, tone of voice, and keep it consistent.

Crisp Social messaging

Ensure you have a complete and consistent profile across channels. Your handles need not be the same across channels, but surely similar. Use generic, high-reach hashtags as per the channel. Tag relevant people, influencers, organisations to increase awareness about your company. Have a content strategy and a calendar of posts for each platform, Same post might not work across all platforms, so plan accordingly. Only promotional content won’t crack the egg, share informative, entertaining posts too. Lastly, monitor what’s working and where you can improve.

Content that hits the mark​

Have a wide repository of content, ranging from one-liners to blogs. Don’t just go with promotional content, include educational, inspirational, and funny words. It is important to include keywords in all you write. Lastly, proofread to check if it is well-written and error-free.

Conversions through paid ads

Pay-per-click ads can appear on your audience’s stream as soon as you launch a campaign when compared to SEO which takes time. To begin, you will need to set up your google ads account, have a list of keywords, an idea of target users, a landing page, a budget, and a team who can create the ads. Once you have these in place, with a focus on KPIs, and an understanding of metrics you are set to succeed.

SEO should hit the bull’s eye

Compile a list of keywords to use throughout your website content, social media, blogs, and paid ads. Do a health check on titles, tags, meta descriptions, and backlinks. Keep up to date with Google ads guidelines, and adjust your performance accordingly to perform the best in online search results.

Emails that don’t end up in trash

Email marketing helps you reach your audience directly, and one-on-one, helping you build brand loyalty. Ensure that it is seen on both mobile and desktop as intended. Learn about bounce rates, open rates, click-through rates, and industry benchmarks on those metrics to get better results.
