Why Digital Marketing Doesn’t Work
The world of digital marketing is complex and highly competitive. Understanding how to position your business correctly and utilise the numerous marketing channels correctly requires a lot of specialist knowledge and experience.
As digital marketing exposes your business to the world you have access to a much larger pool of prospective customers than traditional direct marketing channels – however, you are also competing with a significantly larger pool of competitors.
Being exposed to the world through the various channels means you have to be able to filter your marketing efforts to only target customers relevant to your business. Too broad in your filtering and you will overspend and waste money targeting people who aren’t interested in your services. Too narrow in your filtering you might not get enough reach to sustain your business.
Understanding how to filter your marketing efforts whilst competing against a large pool of international competition requires a lot of knowledge and experience with the various marketing channels. Attempting to compete in the enormous digital marketing space without the right knowledge will result in poor results. Typically most businesses performing improper digital marketing experience a negative ROI. Causing many businesses to give up on digital marketing, believing that it doesn’t work without ever experiencing the significant rewards it can bestow.
What You Need A Digital Marketing Agency For
The reason digital marketing is so difficult is because digital marketing channels are constantly evolving. The Channels have to constantly change their systems to remain relevant in the digital marketing space. Keeping up with these changes is a full time job – what worked in PPC last year might result in massive losses this year.
Digital marketing agencies specialise in keeping up to date with these channels, understanding the changes as they happen then figuring out the best way to use the platforms moving forward. As most businesses simply do not have the resources to manage this on top of the day to day operation of their business they outsource their digital marketing efforts to an agency.
As digital marketing agencies will always execute better for your business on the various channels due to their specialised knowledge and extensive experience using them most companies outsource to an agency. This common practice is why most companies have such a low probability of success with their digital marketing efforts.
Generally all but the largest companies outsource their digital marketing to an agency. So when you are competing with your local competitors, if their marketing efforts are handled by a digital marketing agency you are trying to compete with extremely experienced experts in the field. What this means is your efforts will likely be costly in terms of time spent and budget expended, yet your results will be insignificant or an outright loss for your company.
As digital marketing Agencies spend all day everyday working with digital marketing channels through lots of different companies we develop systems that provide repeatable results for all our clients. If we weren’t able to provide a positive ROI for our clients through these marketing channels we would not remain in business very long. The fact that Intertec Data Solutions has been in business for over 20 years is testament to the fact that we are experts in our field who deliver consistently positive results for our clients.
