+What is Social Media / Digital Marketing?

engage with stakeholders.

channels online (email, social media, review sites,
blogs, etc!)

world

+Digital Marketing - Websites
• Typically the first place a Small Business will stake their “presence”
online
• Migration from “informational” sites to “interactive” sites
• Ironically, cost to build is typically in line with how far up the interactive curve
you want to go
• Also need to consider e-Commerce, Supply Chain, Customer Relationship Mgmt
(CRM) and other automation that can save time
• First step – list out what the goals are of your website – what do you
want to be able to accomplish with customers/partners?

+Building a Website - Options
• DIY sites

+Blogging
• Not the same as a website!
• Fresh, dynamic content on areas you are an expert in
• This takes time and effort – and you need to be consistent
• Can help with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – we’ll
get to this later
• Platforms like Disqus allow you to engage with your
audience

+Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
• “Natural” search – what comes up organically (what the search
engines think is the best answer to the question the user is posing)
• Google far and away the leader in this area. They change the rules
ALL THE TIME to keep people from “gaming” the results
• What should you do about it (Hint: fresh, compelling and relevant
content)
• Tip - https://adwords.google.com/KeywordPlanner
• Tools/sites to help with SEO:

+Email Marketing
• Allows you to target your existing customers nicely via email
• Analytics to track opens / clicks / etc.
• Requires effort to curate your mailing list and create REGULAR content
• The “McDonalds” effect - You need to touch people regularly for outbound
marketing to have a measurable effect
• A/B Testing allows you to “try out” content and measure/gauge results

+Social Networking Sites
• It’s not just Facebook!
• Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram and others
• There are pros/cons of each platform
• Why are you using it? What do you want to get out of it?
• What a Facebook “Like” or a “re-tweet” is really worth
![Page 17: Digital Marketing / Social Media Seminar](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052622/558dfe871a28abb50d8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
+Social Media – Areas to Consider
• These sites will start costing you $$$. The less people on a site, the
easier it is to be heard for free. Once a site becomes popular, it gets
noisy and the site can start charging more.
• Spend time on each site as a USER - who they are targeting, what it’s
best used for, how they make $$$
• Keep up with changes - for example, the new Twitter profile
• Your best bet to help with SEO is Google+ (google.com/business)

+Online Review/Directory Sites
• Yelp, YP.com, Angie’s List, TripAdvisor, Google Reviews
• These were built to serve the CONSUMER - not you
• You should respond to reviews
• Managing your NAP (Name/Address/Phone) contact details online
(Yext, SinglePlatform, getListed, mozLocal)
• They can help with SEO, but with varied results that you do not
control

+Advertising

+Advertising
• “I know at least half of my advertising budget works; I just don’t know which half.” -
Henry Ford
• A variety of options - coupon sites (Groupon, LivingSocial), Review sites (Yelp,
Google, TripAdvisor), Online Advertising (Google AdWords, local advertising),
Traditional advertising (Yellow pages, hyperlocal newspaper, coupon
clipper/circular)
• You will pay a bunch and it will be challenging to manage/measure
• Targeted Ads can be more effective and maximize advertising spend
• You need a specific plan and consistency for this to work well. Every time you stop
one thing and start another, it’s like starting over.
• This does not build community

+Loyalty / Referral Programs
Existing
Customers
![Page 23: Digital Marketing / Social Media Seminar](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052622/558dfe871a28abb50d8b46e5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
+Loyalty / Referral Programs
Existing
Customers
An outstanding way to engage with your existing customers
Loyalty – typically points for frequent patronage
Referral – typically a bonus for referring friends and neighbors
Lots of online options – but understand the cost to manage/maintain
Managing and Measuring these are the biggest challenges. If you’re going to do it,
make sure you have ways to measure the effectiveness

+Tools for the Small Business Owner
• “Rental” SEO shops - MainStreetHub, WhiteSpark, etc - you will pay a
monthly fee (usually $200+) for them to manage this for you
• Vertical focused directories - will give you visibility, but no way to
manage your current customers
• Larger software suites (e.g. DemandForce, ExactTarget)
• Online platforms specific to small businesses for building
community and managing all the aspects of a Social Media / Digital
Marketing program (e.g. Bizyhood)

+Case Study – Jay Garrett RE/MAX Realty
• Be subtle – Build a Brand!
• Websites – remax-nj.com, MyMonmouth. Little blogging focused on
real estate today.
• Facebook – no blatant advertising, more subtle. Brand himself more
so than his business.
• Twitter – mostly a listening tool (Twitterific).
• SEO – not as much as he should, mostly “long tail” keywords.
• Online Reviews – Not much. Not a fan of Yelp. Likes Bizyhood.
• Advertising – Zurple.com – focused solely on realtors. Some
Facebook ads. Overall $400-600/mo.
