• Your Website Represents your Brand Identity

Most of the audience when they visit your website they don’t spend much time unless they see interesting or relevant content to them. 

So it’s mandatory for you to make sure your website content is updated and relevant to the audience you are targeting.

Make your website speak your word to build a strong online presence. 

Your website visitors even help you to generate revenue from your audience data. That can add more value to your business both in terms of revenue and engagement of your audience.

• Use videos to represent your brand story

Before purchasing a product or service people spend most of their decision-making process by seeing a list of videos. To illustrate, 55 % of individuals consume video content thoroughly and 43% of individuals want to see more video content from marketers in the upcoming years.

Try to generate a video to explain your words that improve your emotional bond with your audience. Don’t make them read, try to explain it in the video. And always be transparent to represent your brand presence. 

• Creative Content

Here are some examples- Blogs, Infographics, Checklists, Landing pages, Podcasts, Videos, PPT, White papers, Newsletters and many more formats.

• Include Social Media in Your Branding Techniques

Social media is the place where people spend most of their free time and also it’s a platform where people refer reviews and comments before purchasing any product or service.

The major social media platforms to focus are- Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, LinkedIn, Tumbler, Reddit, Pinterest. 

However the use of these social media platforms again depend on the type of product or service you deliver. Because each platform has their unique strengths and weaknesses and the active audience also differs from platform to platform.

When you have a strong social media presence, it ultimately attaches your audience with you and before purchasing your product they don’t think much, because they already know about you. 

Choose the right platforms or channels for marketing. Take advantage of influencers to promote your product. 

• Use Both Adtech and Martech 

Adtech and Martech technologies have provided lots of opportunities to build an online presence. You can use programmatic platforms for advertising at various stages of a customer journey.

Collect the data of your audience across various touchpoints and use right platforms to store, organize and manage your audience data.

Activate your data across the right platform and use an omnichannel approach to target your audience.

Because people are not dependent on a single channel across their customer journey. So in order to synchronize with them, an omnichannel approach is the best way to reach an audience at the right time with the right offers and messages.
