According to me, without doing the below 3 things, you can’t even create a Plan or strategy! So these Three things are a must before you start creating a strategy :-
The MOST Crucial Element to include in your Digital Marketing Plan is as follows : –
- FIRST, Creating a relevant AUDIENCE for your digital marketing strategy.
You should create a profile of your prospective customer / visitor: –
- Who is looking for your product/service?
- When does the need arise for the product/ service?
- What he/she looks like – fat, slim, normal
- Age the person falls under – is the product/service used by a certain age group?
- Gender – is the product gender related.
- What are his/her preferences?
- Where does he spend his time? is it online, if yes which websites he visits.
- What are his/her hobbies? (how does this help – once you know that, you will know where to place your ads, in search, display or video)
