Multi-Facet Digital Marketing: Using All Available Digital Channels In Your Marketing Efforts5 min read

As someone who is deeply involved with the minutiae of web design and digital marketing, I know how overwhelming it can seem when deciding which digital advertising channels to use in your marketing efforts. But the answer is a lot less complicated than it might seem.

In designing an effective digital marketing campaign, variety is key. There are many ready tools available to help spread your message to the waiting internet audience, so why not avail yourself of them? Consider using a mix of digital advertising channels such as social media, search engines, display advertising, email marketing, and content marketing based on your particular business goals, target audience, and budget. But this is just the beginning.

How should you choose the right channels, measure your success, and optimize your campaigns for better results? The answers are here. Sit back and we’ll dive into the world of digital advertising together.

Why Should I Diversify My Digital Marketing Efforts to Use Multiple Platforms and Channels?

As a digital marketer, you may have heard the phrase “Never put all your eggs in one basket” before. In the world of digital advertising this is wise advice, indeed. While it may be tempting (or seem easier) to focus all your attention on a single platform or channel, diversifying your efforts provides many benefits. Utilizing multiple platforms and channels expands your reach, improves your targeting, and reduces your risk.

According to a recent study by HubSpot, companies that diversify their digital marketing efforts through multiple channels see a 72% higher conversion rate than those that use only a single channel. Since different platforms and channels reach different audiences, using multiple channels enables you to reach a wider audience, improving your chances of converting them into customers.

Diversifying your efforts will also help you improve your targeting. Muliple channels have different targeting options; using multiple channels will enable you to reach your ideal customer with greater precision. For example: if targeting a younger demographic, social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat may be more effective, whereas if you seek to target business professionals, LinkedIn may be the best choice.

Diversifying your digital marketing efforts can help reduce risk. If you rely too heavily on one platform or channel and it suddenly changes its algorithm or goes out of business, you could suddenly lose a significant portion of your audience and revenue. Use multiple platforms and channels to mitigate that risk and ensure your marketing efforts continue to reach your target audience, even if one platform or channel changes.

Diversifying your digital marketing efforts to use multiple platforms and channels expands your reach and improves your targeting, maximizing the downstream effect of everything you produce and disseminate. By taking a diversified approach, you maximize the effectiveness of your digital marketing efforts and drive greater success for your business.

How Do I Choose the Right Digital Advertising Channels for My Business Goals and Target Audience?

The next big question is how to choose the right channels for your business goals and target audience.

First, define your business goals and target audience. For example, if your goal is to increase brand awareness among younger demographics, social media channels like Instagram and TikTok might be more effective than email marketing. If your goal is to drive sales for a specific product, search engine, and display advertising might be a better fit.

Next, research your target audience’s digital behavior and preferences. Where do they spend their time online? What type of content do they engage with the most? This information will guide you in choosing the channels that will reach and resonate with your audience the most.

Lastly, consider your budget and resources. Some channels require more investment than others, and some might require specific skills or expertise. It’s vitally important that you use channels that are both effective and feasible for your business.

How Do I Measure the Success of My Digital Advertising Campaigns?

Once you’ve chosen your digital advertising channels and launched your campaigns, it’s important to measure their success to determine if they’re meeting your business goals and if you’re getting a return on your investment.

The metrics you track will depend on your goals and channels, but some common metrics to measure include impressions, clicks, conversions, cost per click (CPC), cost per acquisition (CPA), and return on ad spend (ROAS). Google Analytics and social media analytics tools can help you track these metrics and analyze your campaign performance.

It’s important to regularly monitor your campaign performance and adjust your strategies as needed to optimize for better results.

How Do I Optimize My Digital Advertising Campaigns for Better Results?

Of course, optimizing your digital advertising campaigns is a continuous process that involves testing and refining your strategies to improve performance and maximize your return on investment. Some ways to optimize your campaigns include A/B testing different ad variations, adjusting your targeting and bidding strategies, and experimenting with different ad formats and messaging.

It’s important to regularly review your campaign performance and make data-driven decisions based on your analytics. Don’t be afraid to try new strategies and take risks, but also be willing to adjust your approach if something isn’t working.

By following these best practices and continuously optimizing your digital advertising campaigns, you’ll achieve greater success and drive better results for your business. That’s why discussing these tactics with your digital marketing team is important. They can help you identify the necessary steps required to set your plan in motion to achieve marketing success.
