Here’s a guide to assist you in deciding which channels to keep and which to add to your marketing strategy this year.

Understand Your Objective

You can begin by establishing solid marketing objectives that are current, relevant, specific, quantifiable, and realistic (SMART).

Here are some thoughts to get you started.

• Develop into a thought leader in your sector.
• Create trust and authority with customers online.
• Increase brand awareness.
• To cultivate and produce top-notch leads.
• Entice visitors to your website.
• Build a following on social media.
• Create sales.
• Improve ROI.

Investigate Your Target Market

Conduct market research to find out which channels your target audience favors if you're unsure.

• Where do they go to use the internet?
• What kinds of information and subjects are they drawn to?
• How do they take in the media?
• Whom do they regularly follow online?

To find out more about your audience, look to your direct competitors: ISpionage, BuzzSumo, Alexa, SEMrush, and more helpful programs that analyze competitor data that's available.

Establish a Marketing Budget

When creating your budget and selecting your channels, keep the following costs in mind:

• Bringing an in-house marketing team as opposed to contracting with a company.
• Strategy, web development, and content generation.
• Software and tools for marketing.
• Your advertising spending cap
• Costs in general for each digital marketing channel

Understand Your Competitors

Which platforms are your principal rivals using? Go where they are to catch up if their digital marketing methods are more effective than yours.

Finding gaps where your competition isn't investing time and money is another option. Take advantage of the opportunity to expand your audience if there is enough of it.
