Harnessing The Power of Professional Expertise
Having a strong digital presence is essential to building your business in today’s modern world. Many companies choose to work with digital marketing agencies so they can be confident they have a professional team working on their marketing goals, without having to handle an in-house department.
Follow these simple steps to make sure that you are making the most of your partnership with a digital marketing agency.
1. Set clear goals
What are you looking to accomplish by hiring a digital marketing agency? Perhaps you are hoping to grow your social media following, draw more potential clients to your website or create successful sales funnels through online ads.
Take some time to consider your goals and sit down with your account managers to run through them when you begin working together. This insight will be invaluable to a marketing team and will help them to create a plan to deliver your desired results.
2. Communication
It is essential to stay in touch with the team managing your account at the agency. Some elements that you need to keep them in the loop on include:
- Target audience - what demographic are you hoping to engage with through your digital marketing strategy? It is possible that you have as many as three or four different types of customers you are intending to target. For example, a hotel may wish to target families looking to book a holiday, business people searching for a conference venue and locals who may enjoy frequenting their restaurant.
Consider who the primary group are for your business and let the agency know, remember to keep them up to date if your goals change.
- Existing brand guidelines - do you already have some brand guidelines in place? Perhaps you have decided on a particular tone of voice to use in your content or a colour palette to apply across social media posts. Providing your account managers with this information will be a significant help as they create tailored suggestions for your company.
- Notify your agency of any changes - if you are making changes to your services, team or product offering, remember to let your digital marketing agency know so they can ensure everything is still relevant and accurate.
The most efficient way to stay in touch with your marketing agency is to have one key contact at your business who is responsible for participating in regular meetings with the agency. They should be the person who provides any required approvals and updates the agency on any relevant changes within your business. These meetings provide an opportunity to discuss your ongoing marketing campaigns.
Collaborate and trust their expertise
When working with a digital marketing agency, it is important to collaborate and provide regular feedback. By combining your industry knowledge with their marketing skills and working closely together, you will receive optimal results.
By working together, you can refine strategies, experiment with innovative approaches and ultimately create a campaign that resonates with your audience.
Never be afraid to give feedback, however, also be open to taking and trusting the agency’s professional advice.
3. Review results
A good digital marketing agency will always show you the stats and data retrieved from their campaigns, you can see what has been successful and where alternate methods could be implemented.
Marketing agencies that are constantly reviewing results and adapting to improve will see significantly more impact than those who don’t.
4. Patience
Digital marketing success does not happen overnight. It can take around 3 months for SEO results to begin showing and other organic strategies such as social media will also take time to build.
A good marketing agency will help you by suggesting alternative options such as pay per click campaigns or social ads that can help to boost sales while your organic campaigns are picking up speed.
It is important to create sustainable digital marketing strategies that are built on a firm foundation.
