The best way to get the most out of your advertising dollar is to understand your target audience and how they interact with your brand.

There are a myriad of tools, services and technologies out there to help you with this task. Some are more efficient than others and the most effective ones will deliver results that last.

One of the most effective and most cost-effective tools in your digital marketing arsenal is a well designed and implemented web site with a user friendly content management system (CMS). Your website should also be mobile friendly to maximize its reach across the globe, and a search engine optimization (SEO) plan to ensure you are listed high in the search engine rankings.

You have to be willing to take the time to learn about the best ways to make sure your business gets its fair share of online attention from prospective customers. With the right strategy, you will be able to increase your customer base, build a loyal fan base and ultimately grow your bottom line.

The best digital marketing strategies are the ones that straddle the line between traditional and new media.
