From Stranger to Lover: How to do Digital Marketing in 2013 [Infographic]
With the constant addition of new online platforms, it can sometimes seem impossible to keep up with the latest trend in online marketing. It doesn’t help that there seems to be countless ways to describe online marketing, including search engine marketing, social media marketing, inbound marketing, content marketing, realtime marketing and our favourite term at Tent Social, social content marketing.
Regardless of what its called though, your business needs one thing. Online marketing that works. So let’s throw out all these fancy new marketing terms for a moment and just revise our definition of “digital marketing” to include all of the new methodologies that the new ultra-connected world enables.
I spend a lot of my time with prospects and clients explaining the new rules for digital marketing and finally thought it was well worth it to produce an infographic that tells the story visually. It is my hope that this will help businessess better understand how to approach digital marketing as well as be a tool for consultants and agencies to help tell the story to their prospects and clients.
In short, the mission is to take your audience on a journey (in relation to your brand) “from stranger… to lover.” At each stage of the audience journey, they will be open to different types of messages from you. Along with that comes different types of tools that will help you communnicate this message and connect more closely with your audience.
The different audience phases are:
As mentioned earlier, there are different tactics that you can use to connect with your audience at each of the above stages. The infographic does a good job of outlining them, so I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
Make a Plan and Develop a Marketing Infrastructure
Finally, none of this journey can actually happen unless you do some work upfront. This is the most common step that businesses skip. Trust me, spend some time planning your approach as well as figuring out who is going to execute the plan (internal vs external or a combination) and which digital tools are they going to use (there are tons of awesome ones).
