Webmarketing is a global strategy that should facilitate the achievement of the objectives that have been defined in the business plan. For it to be effective, it is not enough to simply create a Facebook page, open a Twitter account or create a blog. These are just elements of a tactic.

Setting up a web strategy

The first thing to do is to know the status of the typical customer and his position within a family, is it a father, a son or other? If it is a company, is the target the human resources manager or rather the marketing director? The personas will then have to be given a name, a level of education, a city and an age. Segmenting prospects avoids unnecessary spending.
Set up an objective on the Internet
It is necessary to know precisely why one invests on the internet. Is it to be more visible, to work on a specific element of notoriety or simply to transmit values? Is the objective to get a head start or to create traffic on the web? Is the goal to create leads or contacts to turn them into future customers? These are just a few questions that need to be asked before setting up an objective. It is crucial to point out that even if the internet represents a real asset for companies, it can also easily betray its users. It can therefore happen that a marketing team may not achieve their objectives even by implementing actions that may seem relevant.
