Strategies considered \u2018marketing gimmicks\u2019 in the pre-pandemic world, are now a \u2018must-have\u2019. In fact, digital marketing is playing a crucial role in holding afloat many a one-foot-in-the-grave business. For, lockdowns might have forced people to stay indoors, but not their needs. Driven to surf online content endlessly, consumers are forcing companies to rethink their online marketing plans like never before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emerging trends and smashing success stories point out at some strategies and channels that all businesses should try. They don\u2019t require a lot of investment if implemented smartly and yet, promise phenomenal gains were you to put your finger on the pulse accurately. But before we explore those strategies, a quick look at how and why some of these channels are gaining momentum even as COVID-19 rages on\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Newer-ways-of-marketing-and-their-role-during-the-Corona-pandemic\"><\/span><strong>Newer ways of marketing, and their role during the Corona pandemic<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Big or small, all businesses now seek newer ways to reach out to the audience that is mostly sitting at home these days.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increasing brand awareness and reaching the right kind of audience can be a guaranteed factor in digital marketing if the key metrics are set right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The internet, if used smartly, can become a full-fledged strategy to target potential consumers and convert them into loyal brand advocates.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The right marketing channel helps you build long-term bonds of trust with the customers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Technology and automation help create user-friendly interfaces that can keep customers coming back to you for more&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most of these plans require minimal or nil investment, and yet, you can bring you revenue.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These practices give small businesses the scope to scale up rapidly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The real catch here is that digital marketing strategies do not cost a bomb to implement but can help the business grow exponentially.

One, it has hugely impacted their buying power thanks to salary cuts and shrunken pay-packets. Two, they are no longer able to physically go to supermarkets or shops and browse through the options of what they intend to buy. Result? The whole world is furiously searching the internet to order home what they want.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means as a seller of a product or services, you also need to rank up your business online. SEO is the simplest and the most powerful tool for enhancing your online presence. SEO is the \u2018word of mouth\u2019 of the digital era &#8211; a proven way to bring you high ROI.

But how do you come to know of this? Customer Rate Optimisation (CRO) is a good tool to know the \u2018intent\u2019 of your customers &#8211; potential and existing, by tweaking search words. For instance,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/unbounce.com\/conversion-rate-optimization\/how-to-optimize-contact-forms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> found that a firm saw a whopping 120% conversion rate increase when they shortened form fields<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spellchecking software Ginger increased their conversions by 15% by placing a video on their home page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emarketer.com\/Article\/Online-Reviews-Sway-Shoppers\/1006404\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Another study<\/a> found out that 61% customers rely on user generated content to decide which product or service to buy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In a way, CRO is about retro-fitting your service or product to the current needs of the consumers. No point wasting time and money on servicing customers who aren\u2019t going to convert, right?

It\u2019s a circle of semi-automated sales that can continue well into your future business growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a marketing tool, referral is absolutely free as opposed to the humungous budgets other forms of advertisements demand.
