5 powerful online marketing ideas for small businesses to make your business a success<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"MarketingNow that the Internet has become the go-to place for consumers to look for products and services, marketing your small business has become easier and more affordable than ever before. Forget about scrimping to pay for print advertising \u2013 online marketing methods are less expensive, have a longer effective life, and give your business a much broader marketing reach than you could ever achieve otherwise! To help you get started, here are five easy, effective online marketing ideas for small businesses<\/a> that you can implement without a large investment.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Switch to a responsive web design to attract on-the-go customers
    \n<\/strong>Upgrading to a mobile-friendly website helps your small business in several ways. You\u2019ll get a big SEO boost, which will raise your search rank and make it easier for customers to find you. Since your website is the first point of contact you have with many prospective customers, the fact that your website performs perfectly on every mobile device will give your business more credibility and help it seem more reputable.<\/li>\n
  2. Use local marketing strategies to ensure customers can find your business
    \n<\/strong>Most customers search for businesses online using local search terms, so it\u2019s important to make sure that all the contact information customers will find in listings is correct and consistent. Claim your business on Google and verify that your name, address, phone number, and other information is correct on your profile. Incorporate local keywords into your website and list your business on local online directories to boost your profile further.<\/li>\n
  3. Engage customers with a series of \u201cHow to\u201d videos
    \n<\/strong>This is one of the easiest     online marketing ideas<\/a> for small businesses to implement, and it works with virtually any type of company. That\u2019s because you are just passing on the specialized knowledge you have already acquired in the course of running your business. If you have a retail business, you can create videos that feature projects created using the various products you offer, whether that is how to create a signature look, or how to complete a weekend home renovation project. B2B companies can shoot videos full of informative tips on how to build a successful business.<\/li>\n
  4. Use email newsletters to offer discounts
    \n<\/strong>Create a loyalty club and keep members returning again and again by sending out discount offers through monthly or biweekly email newsletters. You don\u2019t have to offer a huge discount; often a 10% or 15% discount on a single popular service or product is enough to entice customers to stop by for a visit. You can get even more mileage with this online marketing idea when you encourage your members to share it with an extra \u201cfamily and friends\u201d discount code.<\/li>\n
  5. Add Facebook Ads and other paid social ads to your PPC strategies
    \n<\/strong>Social networks are pushing their paid strategies, so they\u2019ve begun making it harder to achieve a broad organic reach for posts. You\u2019ll have more success with social marketing strategies for your small business if you shift some of your PPC marketing spend to Facebook Ads, sponsored stories, and other paid social ads.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
