4. Use Social Media to Be Social
Most businesses make the mistake of using social media to blast their followers with promotions. Research shows this may actually turn consumers off and make them tune out your posts. The reason why people come on social media is to engage in social interactions, not to see promotions so it’s best if you put the ‘social’ aspect in your digital marketing and provide valuable content to your target audience, they will be much more likely to pay close attention to the few promotions that you mix in there.

5. Encourage Online Reviews
Claim your listings on ratings and review sites. Use links on your website or in your emails to encourage your customers to write reviews of your business. Monitor your reviews and quickly respond to any that are negative.

6. Use Email Marketing
Email is one of the most effective digital marketing tactics out there. Just about everyone checks their email. Create a monthly email newsletter or send out regular marketing messages with special offers, news, and discounts.
