Online Marketing

The newest and one of the most effective marketing channels that exist. Are you marketing your company online properly?

Online marketing is one of the fastest growing forms of marketing with over 1 billion pounds spent last year on online marketing in the UK alone. With the internet audience in the UK now approaching 30 million people, many businesses are now looking seriously at their internet marketing strategy.

Why do I need an online marketing agency?

Online marketing is a very new and specialised marketing discipline which makes it difficult for some organisations to manage inhouse. The fast paced and evolving nature of the internet makes it difficult to stay ahead of developments in internet technology another reason to outsource this function to an online marketing company like Creative Theorem.

Online marketing offers a number of benefits over traditional marketing strategies.

Why Online Marketing?

Direct Sales Channel

The internet is not just an excellent online marketing channel. It also allows the prospective customer to perform an action. Having found your product or service offering they can either purchase your product there and then or send a sales enquiry to a member of your sales team.

Reach a global audience

An obvious but very important benefit of online marketing is the fact that it enables organisations to market their products and services on a global scale. Prior to the internet direct sales and marketing was not as realistic in many industries and one had to rely heavily on either a local sales team or representatives.

Effective International online marketing and multi language search engine optimisation allows organisations to target specific countries and territories with a localised country specific website and international online marking campaign.

Cost effective

Another advantage of online marketing is that it is a very cost effective marketing option compared with traditional marketing methods. Online marketing gives an organisation more control over marketing costs due to online marketing's measurability.

Measurable

One of the key benefits of online marketing is its measurability. In traditional media it can be difficult to measure the success of a particular marketing campaign. With online marketing it is possible to measure where your users come from, as well as record their spend and control your costs much more closely.

You Can Target your market

Professional online marketing enables organisations to target their online audience more effectively than many other traditional marketing approaches. It is possible to understand more about your prospective customer and target your marketing campaign more specifically.

Get Customers coming to You

Search Marketing where people look for your products and services is a pull based marketing mechanism as it is initiated by the user. This has a number of advantages. The prospective customer has already decided they need your product or service this means they are already in the sales decision process.The customer comes to you instead of you having to go and look for customers this saves a lot of time and money.

Now is the time to grow your online market share

Online marketing is an emerging marketing channel as such there is a very large opportunity to gain market share over companies that are not early adopters or as receptive to the opportunities that exist. The internet offers a level playing field. It is probably the only place where you can see a small firm market themselves more effectively than a large blue chip organisation.

With inbound links becoming such an important factor in enabling more users to find your site and search engines ranking your site over other competing websites the quicker companies adopt a consistent long term approach to online marketing including link building the better for that company in the long term. It is clear that the internet is in its infancy and now is the time to begin to think seriously about your online marketing.
