I once did my own digital marketing instead of Orange County internet marketing and I cannot tell you what a disaster it was. I put together a digital ad, just one, following the social media platform instructions. I was unsure how to make my ad look good, and then although I thought I had targeted it at a specific market, I was going for the East coast market, I seemed to target it towards Europe. I really struggled and although my ad got seen over 5000 times, I did not get a single click on the ad. Few people looked at my website; the ad just wasn’t enticing or I did something wrong. And yet when I used a marketing agency who knew what they were doing, it was a totally different story.
Digital ads done wrong can be expensive
When the marketing agencies create a digital ad or digital ads for you, and you can run multiple ads simultaneously which I also did wrong, they charge for designing and putting together the ad. They charge for analyzing the ad, keeping an eye on it, and changing it if it is not working or reaching the desired market. But they do not charge each time someone clicks on the ad or when someone comes through to your site to buy or book or talk to you. You know exactly how much you are spending on the ad, when you do it through an agency, rather than going blindly if you do it on your own. And that is what happened to me; I had no idea what I was doing, even though I followed all the instructions, and it landed up costing me a fortune, with no new business to show for it.
Don’t waste your money
Whatever kind of marketing you are doing, do not waste your money. Of course you have to pay for marketing but you need to know you are getting a good ROI, a good return on your investment. Take your time with the agency, not on your own, in brainstorming an ad or multiple ads, or in brainstorming a digital marketing campaign, and only go live when you feel comfortable or when the agency feels comfortable, that the ad will be a success. You are spending money on digital agency and you need to recoup that money pretty quickly. That is why you use the experts in digital marketing rather than attempting any kind of digital marketing on your own.
Holistic digital marketing
Any digital marketing ad should be part of a holistic campaign. The ad go on to a social media platform while you have consistent posts on FB, Instagram or Twitter, while you blog and while you create content. By this we mean while the digital agency does all this for you, holistically. Use Orange County marketing who understand all the aspects of digital marketing.
