The Covid-19 pandemic had amazed the world with its unforeseen debut. Like on the snap of fingers, everything around the globe just flipped, even the highly advanced countries were in stress.

One thing observed during the phase was, the business world got divided into two segments; one in which the industries still grow well (pharmacy, groceries, local vendors) and the others which were puzzled or at-a-loss (hospitality, tourism, events, and other businesses). 

Because of the state of this epidemic, marketers who were suffering found a way to make strategic investments in their companies' digital activities, maintaining at least a point of digital contact with their consumers as they already hunkered down at their homes, and the only option left was to carry out their activities online.

This raised the importance of digital marketing up a notch and the online presence grew significantly. From top companies to small businesses, everyone was just trying to be an ace in their digital game. Where top companies required little effort; Small businesses needed more hard work and efforts. By now you can understand that the value of digital marketing is indisputable and in order to survive in the market, you need to make the best use of its capabilities, especially when you are a small business.

So, here we are with the Digital Marketing Tips especially for Small Business:

1. Strong presence: Your only channel of communication with your customers is digital. Your customers are out there on Social Medias and Search Engines, all you need to do is garner their attention with relevant social platforms and a website.

2. Impeccable content- Just having a mere presence online won’t work; you need something that steers consumer’s attention towards your business, which is perfectly created content.

3. Improve your ranking- Being on the first page of the search engine’s result page is automatically a booster for your business. This can only be achieved by improving your SEO tactics.

4. Encourage reviews- Your online reputation is the ultimate determining factor for your brands. Reviews of the customer tell about your business, product, and services. In other words, reviews are the main factor client or customer sees before buying a product or services from your company.  

5. Email marketing- You might be getting huge website traffic and might have converted some of them into leads easily but that doesn’t imply that your leads are ready to make a purchase, that only shows the interest of your website visitor in your product or service. With the help of email marketing, you can always be in their minds by sending out newsletters, offers, discounts, and sometimes even personalized service which will definitely startle them and drive them to make at least one purchase. With free tools like HubSpot Email Marketing, Sender, mail chimp, and many others you can ideate a great marketing strategy.

6. Paid ads: Paid Advertising Increases Your Company's Prestige and Credibility. When people see an advertisement for your company (especially a good ad) they automatically assume that the business has money. And if they think a business has money they assume it is doing well, which means they have more customers or consumers.
