Expanding your strategy to embrace a variety of digital marketing platforms is essential to take your marketing efforts from good to great. Successful digital marketing combines the use of search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click advertising, social media, content, and email marketing. Using multiple avenues, you will have many opportunities to meet and engage with customers where they are–however, to be efficient they must work together. It’s almost like eating flour, eggs, oil, and sugar all at the same time – perfect ingredients for a cake, but not actually cake! You need to combine them in just the right way to get the results you want.
Why integrations are important for small businesses
Juggling a variety of business functions often requires switching between software tools and duplicating content to be available in different formats. Though these duties are time-consuming and can pull a small business owner away from more impactful efforts, they are critical to success and have to get done. This is where integrations can help save time and effort.
Integrations allow you to organize and optimize separate tasks into a single system. They can simplify everything from syncing contacts and adding a sign-up form on your blog to automating tasks and curating online content for your newsletter. Leveraging them throughout your broader digital marketing strategy is not only a huge time-saver, but can also help you make the most of your relationship with every customer and prospect by connecting your tools so you have access to the data you need when you need it. This is especially helpful as your business grows and your needs change.
