Marketing can either make or break a company, regardless of its size and how long it has been in business. In today’s digital age, where competition is fierce and algorithms can either benefit or harm a business, mastering search engine optimization and social media advertising can be expensive and time-consuming. This makes it challenging for most companies to stay relevant and visible in their industry because it is both ever-evolving and overwhelming, to say the least. And the stakes are high and somewhat daunting. According to LOCALiQ’s 2023 State of Digital Marketing Survey findings, 70% of the businesses that participated in the survey needed help to keep up. Of those surveyed, 46% preferred to outsource their marketing needs, including website development, search engine optimization (SEO) and digital advertising. Additionally, a quarter of the surveyed businesses plan to outsource more of their marketing needs in the future.

In 2024, marketing a business will be just as challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. At Credico, we have been in business for three decades. We have navigated the marketing world over several trends and changes. From print to radio to television, the computer’s introduction, websites, social media, and AI, we know how to help businesses grow in any marketing climate.

Owning a business is a challenging task that requires a great deal of effort. The process involves various ups and downs, and the key to staying in business and having long-term success is to make smart decisions. To remain relevant, a business must offer a good product, maintain a positive customer experience, and make sound financial decisions to survive the slow sales seasons. To stay competitive, it is crucial to identify and build a genuine relationship with your target audience. To develop a relevant and effective marketing plan, you should research the market and your competitors to determine whether the challenges your business is facing are industry-wide or specific to your company. This information will help you make the necessary adjustments to stay ahead of the competition.

 

Adopt an Omnichannel Sales Approach

This is a significant improvement over the global benchmark of 18%, as reported in the 2020 Hitting the Mark Global E-commerce Benchmark Report.
