Marketing budgets

Pressure on marketing budgets in 2022 following the pandemic has persuaded many companies to move more activities in-house.

Keeping up with the latest digital developments (tools and trends) and combining these with a clear and measureable marketing strategy is more important than ever.

Using a data-driven and customer centric approach, you should ideally take the following into account when reviewing and building your strategy.

Focus on the familiar but experiment too

One best practice is to focus 70 – 80% of you time and resources on the familiar, tried and tested and 20 – 30% on experimenting with new stuff, to potentially set yourself ahead of the competition.

Machine learning and conversion modelling

Look at SEO and personalisation

Evaluate how effectively you are appearing in organic search (SEO). Check out recent best practices from Google about optimising title links. https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/appearance/title-link

Review how you are performing with social and email marketing (level of personalisation) and possible new web design and content marketing techniques to engage and convert your audiences. If you do not already use marketing automation, perhaps is now the time to closer look at the many advantages and performant software packages for businesses of all sizes and how these can be integrated with your own CRM.
