For people to buy your product, they first need to know about it. That sounds logical, but it can be confusing to know where to spend your budget. While your choice of marketing channels and platforms may seem to grow more complicated by the day, one fact remains abundantly clear: Consumers prefer to hear about your product from trusted sources. Explore the abundance of options available to you on Publicity.com!
Where do most people enter the buying process?
The answer depends in part on your audience’s demographics, including their age range and the benefits they’re seeking. Today, many start their research on social media, then they may interact with companies’ ecommerce stores from their mobile devices.
Quite a few Media Relations Agency clients also have great success with sending newsletters that include purchase incentives to their customers and prospects. And, we’ve seen an uptick in influencer marketing as well as the overall use of videos to educate potential buyers about products.
Every company should also be blogging! Blogs are a fantastic way to capitalize on SEO to attract prospects to your website. Blogs keep people on your site by providing valuable information and convert them to buyers by linking to your sales funnel.
What about traditional publicity (TV, radio and print)? That’s very relevant. Much like everything else, these platforms are evolving. But one of the pillars of traditional publicity is that media coverage (unlike video shorts or social posts) gives you plenty of space to tell your complete story. You have room to explain why your product or service will improve someone’s life, and even give a few examples!
Even better: With traditional PR, you typically get additional exposure. Once a story runs, the station or publication will often repost it to their own website with links to yours.
