It’s fair to say that, for most of us, the past year hasn’t exactly gone according to plan. Business owners, in particular, have faced the need to pivot and adapt to the new normal. A big part of that means finding new ways to leverage existing assets and resources, which might include your business website.
Email overload is a familiar feeling. Most of us have somehow found ourselves on mailing lists that overdo it, flooding our inboxes with daily messages that get promptly deleted.
Small business owners often dream of “organic” website traffic… visitors who trickle into their sales queue sheerly based on their interest in the company’s products or services. While organic traffic is certainly desirable, the reality is that many of your visitors are going to need a little push. Simply put, you have to make people aware of your business, your product and service offerings, and your website if you want them to pay you any attention.
Even among experienced marketers, it’s easy to overemphasize the visual: For example, many of us tend to think about digital marketing solely in terms of Instagram stories, YouTube videos, and images shared across Facebook, Snapchat, or Twitter.
At enCOMPASS, we have been steadfast in our advocacy for email marketing: We consistently see the proof that it offers immense value to marketers and small business owners, and represents a cost-effective way to connect with customers, drive website traffic, and increase sales.
Throughout this tumultuous year, good news has often seemed pretty scarce. But here at enCOMPASS, we’ve found a few reasons to celebrate lately. On the heels of our six wins at the 2020 W3 Awards, we’re now pleased to announce that enCOMPASS Advertising Agency has won another six trophies at this year’s Davey Awards. In fact, our team was honored for every site that we entered!
It’s no secret that 2020 has been a difficult and disorienting year, with all of our lives disrupted by the pandemic and its ensuing economic uncertainty. One of the things we’re proudest of here at enCOMPASS Agency is that, despite the extraordinary challenges, our team continues to do amazing work each and every day.
Email marketing may not be new and it may not seem flashy, but the fact is that it remains a powerful tool for reaching customers… especially customers who you may not be reaching through social media or through traditional advertising.
There’s a very simple case to be made for why businesses and brands should have a presence on YouTube. That argument is reach. With more than two billion users logging in every single month, YouTube is the second most popular website in existence.
By now, the effectiveness of video content is indisputable. Studies have confirmed again and again that video gets more engagement, and more shares, than any other type of online content. The issue that many small business owners face isn’t that they don’t value video, but rather that they’re simply unsure of how to produce it.
We use microdata on all of the sites we build to make sure important details like address and business hours are passed on to Google and other search engines, making it easier for your customers to find you both on and off the web.
