The start of the year will be here before you know it… which means that, for small business owners, the time to brainstorm a 2020 social strategy is now.
Here at enCOMPASS, we put a big focus on the merits of video advertising. There are a number of reasons for this, but what it really boils down to is this: Video advertising works. Because it’s easy to digest, online consumers have come to prefer it over text and even images. The rise of video has completely changed the way people consume information on social networks. What’s more, video content is easy to share. And, for business owners who may not feel as comfortable writing content, video can be a more relaxed fit.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become the two most consequential shopping days of the year. Indeed, these two days often prove record-breaking, not only in the number of dollars spent and the number of ecommerce purchases made, but also in the number of marketing emails sent.

Over the last few years, concerns over the nature of online privacy have reached a boiling point, and many prominent online platforms have been forced to take a more proactive approach to safeguarding user data. The most obvious example of this is Facebook, which caught fierce criticism in the wake of the 2016 Cambridge Analytica scandal.
One of the most exciting aspects of digital marketing is that it’s easier than ever before for advertisers to address consumers at different stages of the sales funnel. As a case in point, consider display advertising. Display advertising is a strategy that’s proven highly effective at building brand awareness and even engendering favorable attitudes from consumers, before they reach the point of purchase.
It’s increasingly commonplace for marketers to use customer data to inform their strategy and approach. Statistics show that an overwhelming majority of marketers have increased their reliance on data in recent years, and most marketers at least say they’re going to become more data-driven in the months to come.
What’s the goal of your business website? It’s not a trick question. You naturally want to achieve results through your site, and that’s only possible when you set some clear benchmarks. For most businesses, the ultimate goal of the website is to boost conversions, whether that’s email inquiries, phone calls, appointments, or online purchases. In some cases, you might even define conversions as email newsletter subscriptions or engagement on social media.
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.
