Here are the digital marketing activities to help you take your business to new heights in 2024. Use them in combination with each other for the best results.
1. Online Display Banners: Utilise online display banners to share promotional messaging on relevant third-party websites, social media platforms, or within related apps. This is one of the top digital products out there for businesses looking to generate brand awareness. It not only allows you to position your messaging alongside industry-specific content but also offers extensive reach.
2. Email Marketing: Email marketing is still alive and will remain one of the most trending marketing trends in 2024. It is highly effective in delivering your message directly to the mailboxes of your prospects. Team up with industry-specific content publications that share branded newsletters with their audiences. Securing a spot in their newsletters will help you get in front of the right audience and expand your reach. Or offer a newsletter subscription for your prospects to sign up to. Once they do, capture their valuable data and keep them engaged by providing them with timely updates, industry news, and exclusive offers to boost your brand awareness.
3. Webinar Sponsorships: Going beyond conventional content delivery, webinars stand out by providing live, vibrant experiences. They not only attract high-quality leads and strengthen brand reputation, but also help brands easily connect with their audience in real-time. According to the Content Marketing Institute’s B2B Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends: Insights for 2023 research report, 47% of marketers voted for webinars (second only to in-person events) as the content asset that produced the best results. Find a sponsorship collaboration opportunity that helps you reach relevant audiences interested in market topics specific to your brand. This ensures direct access to a relevant audience to generate leads for your product or service.
