Why You Should Build An Online Presence

By now, there are 4.57 billion active users of the internet. That's around 59% of the world's population. Being online has become a daily part of our lives - from socializing, shopping, and discovery. It has become so much more than just checking emails and researching. You can no longer imagine life without being online.

For businesses, having an online presence brings a lot of fantastic opportunities that can help your business in new and exciting ways. Many companies, even the big ones, are shifting their marketing budgets from traditional advertising to digital marketing. Here's why:

You'll find lots of customers by being online.

The online world is not limiting to whoever is near-by your store or whoever has access to your ads. Being online enables you to reach out to new customers and build relationships with existing customers, not just locally but also globally. It allows you to tap whoever is online - and that's billions of people!

Your online presence can be your website, social media page, an app, etc.

For centuries, commerce is in brick and mortar format. While already an established way of trade, the way people are shopping now is shifting towards e-commerce. It offers low to medium start-up costs and gives you more options in ways to sell your product or service. It's much cheaper than renting or leasing a space and furnishing it!

You can deliver targeted advertising to your customers.

In contrast with mass media, doing digital marketing allows you to show targeted advertising to your potential customers right when they are looking for what you offer. You can also restrict the ads to show within certain criteria which makes you reach your potential customers.

Learn more about what interests your customers.

Your online presence can give you valuable insight into what your customers want and how to give it to them. It allows you to leverage on being able to listen to your prospects and being able to give what they want. Listening to what they want can be your strategic compass.

You can boost your presence and sales using analytics.

With the use of analytics, you can measure your online performance that can help in defining your marketing strategies. Analytics can determine if customers are interacting with your ads, visited your website, and other behavior that may be relevant to determining your brand tactics.

More than that, having an online presence makes it easier for you to connect and converse with your potential or current customers alike and build a relationship with them.

Building an online presence is truly an investment that businesses need right now. The opportunity in growing your business through having a digital presence is too big to ignore. So if your business is not yet online, you are missing a lot.
