How To Boost Small Businesses Through Digital Marketing

There are many blogging platforms which are free of charge and come with beautiful template design. You can make changes in your template with a few clicks of your mouse, so you don’t need a web designer. If you wish you can also pick a self-hosting blog with a domain name in a very small amount of money. It is good to be careful before choosing the right blogging platform. You can use for example wordpress or blogger.

However there is one great thing when you are having a website – content management. As you are a small businessman you don’t like to hire a developer or web designer. As you are planning to manage content yourself, you must look for a platform that allows you to build websites and focus on content management. Website builder like wordpress is one of the best and appealing platforms which offer a nice inline editing and drag&drop based interface that really focuses on content.

Studies say that email remains among the ultimate marketing tools for small businesses. It has a high ROI, bigger conversion and new customer acquisition rate, and it is more measurable than social media advertising. It is also found that if you follow this as a formula in your blogging practice that you can use “80% relevant content and 20% sales pitch” this can increase your brand’s credibility.
