Today’s online marketplace is extremely over-crowded and building a loyal customer base isn’t easy. The key to mastering customer acquisition online is to have an effective digital marketing strategy and plan – something many companies still don’t have.

Here are five key components for a digital marketing plan to take your customer acquisition to the next level.

Researching your market is the starting point for any effective marketing plan. Understanding key search statistics, conducting competitor analysis and knowing where your customers are online, will help. Armed with this information you can be more sure you’re setting off in the right direction.

2. Craft, Create and Curate

You can create and write with confidence knowing you’re addressing the topics and content that will attract your target audience. Don’t forget, as well as creating, you can also curate – post and use other people’s articles that have relevance to your own readers. Don’t forget, if you’re going to include their copy in your own articles, always ask permission and give the appropriate credit. Having done the work from number 1 above, you’ll also know where to post your content to get maximum engagement.
