Digital Marketing As A Subset Of Business Development Strategies

One point that it is wise to focus on when considering developing and refining top level business development strategies is that…

… The Integration Of The Digital Marketing Activities Into That Of The Top Level Business Development Plans Are Essential For Success With Any Tactical Activities…

It is indeed quite possible for organisations to be taking part in daily social media or online internet marketing activities taking place on a daily basis and for these activities to be shown to be having little [in some cases none at all] effect on key marketing parameters such as…

>>> Marketing Funnel Interaction

>>> Lead Generation

>>> Target Marketing

These are but a few of that which we consider to be business fundamentals and how these key business imperatives dovetail into the core internet marketing activities are fundamentally important to the organisation’s overall marketing activities effectiveness.

If the case exists where the top level business strategies have not been clearly defined and there are significant online marketing activities [in terms of social media interaction, paid advertising and content creation and publication for search engine marketing purposes] then the conclusion may be drawn that as a consequence there is no real foundation on which to base the digital marketing activities.

In the cases where the business has taken the steps to develop and to base their activities on foundational marketing planning then in these circumstances – these plans can be used to serve as a basis on which to base the digital marketing; search engine and social media activities upon.

Main point being – We Cannot Forget The Marketing within the “Digital Marketing” phrase. With so many daily activities that can be executed such as…

  • micro blogging
  • email marketing
  • blogging
  • guiding prospects through specific marketing funnels
  • video marketing
  • keyword analysis

… more and more the higher up the organisation that ‘over the internet’ marketing is visited then the great effect will be seen in terms of product / service awareness; increase in brand equity which culminate in revenue generation.

With so many digital marketing tools out there that the digital marketing professional can make use for customer interaction, brand development and product / service promotion and; with the ‘noise level apparently increasing on a weekly basis,

the case for increased focus on the integration of digital marketing with core business development planning must be highlighted.

Taking this one step further by factoring in search engine and social media marketing at the strategic business phase will ensure that the online marketing implementation serves the company to maximum effect.
