In order to start your digital marketing strategy, you need to understand the situation that your technology company is in. The starting point for this is conducting judicious and appropriate market research to help you get a better understanding of your key markets. By doing this, you can evaluate your competitor’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as potential threats and opportunities that your business could be affected by and use this to firmly position yourself in your market.
Your longer-term strategy can also be decided by a PEST analysis, taking into account the political, economic, social and technological factors that are affecting the technology market. Once you’ve established these key facts, you should know exactly what level of customer you are aiming at and be able to price your products or services accordingly.
It isn’t enough to just simply find out the information, however. The best technology companies are the ones that are able to justify ‘why’. Why do you sell the technology product or service that you offer? In order to define this, you need to understand your brand’s core values.
This is what separates the run of the mill technology firms with industry-leading icons such as Apple. Although they appeal to a broad audience, their marketing tactics are always unique and create an aura of exclusivity around their products. It’s up to you to create a similar quality and reputation for your technology firm. To begin forming this reputation, you should be able to answer all of these questions:
It isn’t enough to just create a strong website, however. Technology firms need to have a presence on all relevant social media platforms – Twitter and Facebook to engage with their customers, provide insight and offer customer service, and LinkedIn to promote their professional network and form business relationships with relevant companies that can help to enhance their technology company.
By completing all of this, you’ll be giving your technology company the best chance to have a strong digital presence and have taken the first steps to effective digital marketing for your technology firm. This shouldn’t be viewed as a one-off activity, however. Like the best technologies, your digital marketing for your technology firm should always be evolving and adapting to new market trends and behaviours, to ensure you can keep a strong and engaged digital audience. You might see the value in your technology, but there is no guarantee your customers will unless you show them the benefits of it through effective digital marketing.
