To initiate a digital marketing campaign without paying much attention to Search Engine Optimization can be a greatest flaw which you need to avoid.

Neglecting to remarket

One of the great digital marketing mistakes that businesses do is neglecting the customers who have already shown interest in their products. Usually all the businesses tend to focus more on gaining the new customers, apart from focusing on the leads. To avoid this you can create an email marketing campaign to get emails from your audience and make them think about the products again, so that you can create interest in them.

Using clickbait 

Usually many digital marketing analysts in order to improve customer engagement focus on investing content which sounds much appealing to customers, without having proper content strategy. To avoid this mistake, focus on creating content which offers actual value to the end users, and let the users know exactly what they can expect inside the post. By doing this your website visitors will never be disappointed and become regular visitors due to the availability of quality content.  

Ignoring video marketing

You need not spend much money to make good videos on the social media platforms which can convince the end-users. Most of the mobile phones have great camera functions which make real-life videos to show a considerable impact on the target audience.

Not replying to customers  

According to research, while using the internet users spend 28% of their time on social media. Most of the users make use of online platforms to get a proper reply from their shopping brands. Users who came across your post on social media may comment on your posts or may ask any queries which you must answer promptly. In case if you don’t reply or reply inappropriately it may affect your business a lot as there will be many users who come across those comments.
