Tackling Digital Marketing Hurdles: How We Address the Common Concerns Regarding Investing in Digital Marketing

Today’s blog comes from Carl Lefever, founder and growth strategist at Improve & Grow.

I founded Improve & Grow as a digital marketing agency with one mission: We help our customers grow their businesses by generating more leads without resorting to random acts of marketing.

With over a decade of experience helping over 100 business owners grow their revenue with digital marketing and fifteen years before that using the tools of Lean Six Sigma to drive top-line sales growth and bottom-line profit improvements for several large corporations, I know what it takes to get results.

I also know the many fears and worries that most business owners have when it comes to investing in something significant, like a new digital marketing strategy. In this post, I share how we can overcome these challenges together and create an environment where you can confidently invest in marketing, knowing you are working with a team that puts your success first.

Exploring Top Digital Marketing Concerns and Our Solutions

1. Seeing a Good Return on Investment

One of the biggest fears about digital marketing is the worry about whether your investment will pay off. At Improve & Grow, we craft a specific plan for your business called a Growth Road Map, which focuses on using our proven 9-step process to develop an inbound lead generation strategy engineered to meet your financial goals. Our clients have generally seen their businesses grow by 30-50% within the first year, giving them a 3X or better return on their investment.

2. Understanding Digital Marketing

The world of digital marketing can seem complicated. That’s where we come in. Our team is devoted to staying on top of the ever-evolving digital marketing trends and using this knowledge to help your business expand. Every team member lives by our core values, which include Excellence and Continuous Improvement.

3. Reaching the Right People

Finding the right audience for your business can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. Our strategies are guided by the maxim of “right people, right time, and right message”. We make this process easier by helping you identify your ideal client and use what we learn to build audiences who match this profile.

4. Protecting Your Brand’s Reputation

Your brand’s reputation is priceless. We help ensure your brand is represented well across your website, social media, and other platforms. We’ll even assist with press releases, case studies, and gaining positive customer reviews.

5. Making Sense of the Numbers

Data can be overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be. We use tools like Google Analytics to track performance, which allows us to make smart, informed decisions for your business. Your Growth Road map and service agreement will include specific numbers for what you can expect us to deliver. We’ll provide you with a detailed monthly report on our progress, and you’ll always have real-time access to your key performance metrics.

6. Saving Time and Resources

Managing your digital marketing requires a team with expertise in search engine, content, social media, and email marketing. You’ll also need design, development, copywriting, and analytics skills. Why build your own team when you can rent one at a fraction of the cost? We offer a full team of digital marketing specialists who pursue excellence in their fields and focus their skills on helping your business grow while saving you significant time and resources.

7. Adapting to Constant Changes

The digital world changes quickly, and it can be hard to keep up. Our team stays current on the latest trends and changes in the industry so your business remains competitive.

8. Reducing Dependency on Outside Experts

Relying on external help can feel risky. At Improve & Grow, we ensure transparency in all we do. We give you all the information you need, and you retain full control of the process. Want to bring aspects of your digital marketing in-house? No problem. We tailor our services to complement the changing needs of your team.

9. Managing Costs

Digital marketing can seem expensive, especially without guaranteed results. We align our plans with your financial goals and ensure a minimum 3X return on your investment, providing you with an affordable marketing solution.
