Making sense of advertising and digital marketing

Adsensia is a comprehensive resource of all the tools and tactics you need to build out a compelling digital marketing strategy. At a high level, digital marketing is just all the things we do to grow an Internet business through multiple digital channels.

That can mean anything from:

  • Acquiring more traffic
  • Pulling in more leads
  • Closing more sales
  • Increasing repeat purchases

There are a ton of different ways to do this. For example, if you’re interested in more traffic, you could:

  • Increase your rankings on search engines and drive more free, organic traffic
  • Post great content on social media and get more people visiting your site
  • Send more emails to your existing users and get them visiting you more often

If you wanted to pull in more leads, some things you could try are:

  • Create some great new content and give it away, in exchange for an email address
  • Set up a sales funnel that asks users to enter their phone number to receive a free quote
  • Launch an Adwords campaign with the goal of getting prospects to schedule a call

If you were interested in closing more sales, you might try:

  • Create a page that ranks on Google for “<competitor name> alternative”
  • Set up a remarketing campaign for users that visited your site but didn’t purchase
  • Create an abandoned-cart email that reminds users to complete their purchase

That’s a brief overview of what digital marketing is. Here’s a list of some of our favorite tools and services to help youdevelop a digital marketing strategy and achieve any of these goals.
