Understand digital marketing and avoid common mistakes

Dispelling Digital Marketing Myths

Effective marketing is not difficult -- it just takes a specific strategy. I agree that in order to best reach your audience you need to know what works and what does not.

Brenner explains what digital marketing means to your business and how to make it successful.

Here's what caught my attention:

• It's good practice to consistently produce great content. Articles need to be quality, and grab the reader's attention.

• A negative reaction online isn't always a bad thing to happen. Avoid trolls, but engage with those who are your loyal audience.

• Digital marketing encompasses many different mediums from blogs to email, and more. Be sure your content in these places is relevant to your target market.

Understanding the affect of innovation and the Internet of things in business.

How Technology Has Changed Companies

We are experiencing new technological changes like never before in Internet history. I agree that we need to understand this affect for our own business productivity.

Satell explains the various changes in technology, and which industries have been affected.

Here's what caught my attention:

• Agriculture is greatly impacted by innovation. Ecology is now data driven, which directly affects our water systems. This sector is now partnering with big tech companies like IBM.

• Digital connectivity continues to transform physical machines. The age of the computer has evolved instead of gone away.

• Water is the new oil because of technological advances. This means that we can be more efficient commercially and that is good news for politics.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Tony Zambito because it explains how outdated buyer insights can affect our B2B sales.

You can reach your prospects through a better understanding of why customers make a purchase.

Exploring the B2B Buyer Journey

The digitization of business has changed the buyer landscape significantly. I agree that your customers will respond as you reach them where they are at.

Zambito shows you several ways to gain better insights on your prospects and how to improve your B2B sales.

Here's what caught my attention:

• B2B companies have to come to the realization that they are living within their own digital bubble. This includes over-reliance on activity-based data intelligence.

• Digital transformation is felt mostly in channels and distribution. For example, the way consumers purchase a book is now far different than in the past.

• Cloud-based platforms are now affecting how people take action and make decisions. A new virtual dependence is emerging merging users and buyers into one.
