1. Reduce cost

Your business can develop its online marketing strategy for very little cost and can potentially replace costly advertising channels such as print, television, radio and other outdoor media. Even Google which is the de facto advertising medium is getting way too expensive and hence companies are trying to cut their SEM advertising cost by branching out or stopping. 0One good way is to look at digital to reach a wider audience at a lower cost.

2. Simple to measure

You can see in real time what is or is not working for your business online and you can adapt very quickly to improve your results. For measuring traffic to your site, you can use Google Analytics to measure specific metrics you want to achieve for your website or blog. Even for email or online marketing, they provide good insight into how many people are opening, reading and converting from your emails and marketing strategies.

3. Greater client appeal

A well maintained and coded website with quality content targeting the client’s needs and adding value to your target audience can provide significant value and lead generation opportunities. A proper strategy must be implemented.
