Test, Leverage and Integrate Your Digital Marketing

Share the goods.

Rowan Leo types on their laptop inside of the 8THIRTYFOUR office.

That’s right. We’re continuing our rant from earlier in the week. Avoid these digital marketing mistakes or just call us and we’ll take care of it.
Oh, and if you haven’t thanked a digital person lately, do it. They keep your world up and running. That includes the person posting, optimizing, tagging and scheduling this blog.

1. SETTING IT & FORGETTING IT

Once your campaign strategy is complete, your creative looks baller, your messaging has been tested to ensure that it resonates with your audience, and you have solidified your value offering, it’s time to launch your campaign. However, that’s only the beginning.
Routine maintenance and ongoing testing are critical to the success of your digital campaigns. Make sure your digital team is reviewing and optimizing your advertisements regularly. We set aside time multiple days every week to check in on metrics, try out new concepts, and make sure things are stellar.

2. NOT LEVERAGING CONVERSION TRACKING

Impression metrics like cost-per-click, click-through-rate, and impression share will help you determine the effectiveness of various campaigns, sure. But if you want to demonstrate a clear ROI, your team needs data from conversion tracking.
Conversion metrics will give you powerful answers to some of your team’s biggest questions, like:

  • How many leads were generated from this campaign?
  • How many of those turned into new customers?
  • How many widgets were sold from these campaigns?
  • How many people have signed up for your email newsletter as a result of your search engine optimization?

3. NOT INTEGRATING WITH OTHER CHANNELS

Your audience is not just interacting with your brand on Facebook. They’re also hearing from you in email newsletters, personal email communication, event appearances, and other platforms. That’s great, because people need to be exposed to your message at least 7 times before it will really sink in.
That’s why you need to integrate your digital strategy with your other marketing techniques. Make sure you’re thinking through all touch points and blasting your message loud and clear to maximize results.

WHERE TO START

If you’re wondering how your current campaigns are set up, or if you’re not sure where to start, connect with our digital team today. We can perform a digital audit, give you some suggestions, and get you back on your advertising feet.

We love this trend, so we thought we’d jump on it and ask the team some “hard-hitting questions” to end the week.

We’re a team made up of Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. Find out who knows the most about the classics. Any guesses?

We`ve received so many questions from new grads about breaking into a competitive market as a young professional. It starts with one thing according to @bodespeaks: being the salesperson of YOU. Emulate the leaders in your industry and show up where they show up.

It`s not who you know, it`s who knows you
Use the playbook of people you admire
Show up consistently and be seen
A handwritten note beats 100 LinkedIn messages, always.

Meet our first speaker spotlight: Dr. Karen May, DC, CCSP, CCIP.

Dr. May owns and operates @mhneuropathycenter, and she`s joining us for Uncomfortable Community Conversations: The Pause on September 24th to talk about something we don`t talk about enough.

Her career has spanned from elite sports medicine, including a stint as team physician for USA Bobsled and Skeleton as well as caring for pregnant moms and newborns and helping women navigate life’s transitions, always grounded in a belief in food as medicine and the body’s own capacity to heal. In 2017, that expertise was tested when a rare surgical complication left her fighting nerve damage in her own body.

Drawing on decades of clinical practice and training, she rebuilt her health from the ground up — and has since helped thousands of people do the same. With over 20 years in holistic health care, she speaks today as both physician and peer.
