Digital marketing can seem overwhelming, especially for those new to the concept. Rather than trying various ideas and philosophies, such as launching a blog or social media channels and seeing what type of results that will provide, it is a much better idea to first take the time to craft a well-thought out digital marketing strategy.

To some the idea of writing out an entire strategy might seem daunting however it is important to understand that a strategy does not have to be a 20-page report or hour-long PowerPoint presentation. Strategies can be short and simple as well. While there are companies that are currently using digital media effectively without a written plan, most likely they are missing opportunities for better targeting, engagement, or optimization. Today NY based Digital Marketing Company, Lounge Lizard, shares 5 reasons to use a digital marketing strategy.

    --  It provides a clear direction - Taking the time to create a complete
        digital marketing strategy is a similar concept to crafting a business
        plan; it helps provide a clear direction and focus for your activities.
        Surprisingly many businesses do not take the time to plan, discuss, and
        then write out an actual plan complete with goals and expectations for
        their marketing efforts. That is a lot like packing a sailboat with
        supplies and casting off without a destination, map, or checking the
        weather. A successful business relies on clear objectives so that
        resources can then be applied to reach those objectives with analytics
        used to determine the success or failure of those efforts followed by
        evaluation and adjustment to continually work towards those goals; not
        just sailing aimlessly hoping to see land.

    --  Better understanding of a business's online marketplace - Part of any
        good strategy involves research which is a critical component in
        learning and understanding more about a business's position within the
        marketplace. What is the customer demand for a particular product or
        service? What types of customer profiles relate to a specific niche?
        What behavior, channels, and propositions will work best for those
        customer profiles? There are a host of digital marketing tools that can
        help a business discover the level of demand, check the intent of
        searchers based on keywords, or find out how many people are interested
        in products or services such as Google's keyword planner or Facebook IQ.
        This then allows for a more focused approach to meeting goals.

    --  It will result in a better ROI - The lack of a clear plan and focus can
        result in wasted time, money being spent on activities that won't
        produce results for a specific goal, or even misused time and resources
        due to duplication of tasks by different people or departments. A strong
        digital marketing plan outlines all of the marketing actions, which
        position or departments are responsible for specific function, and
        reporting of activities and results to other departments. By reducing
        wasted actions and redundancy the return on investment of marketing
        efforts will be better.

    --  Provides deeper understanding of online customers - While analytics are
        very useful in discovering keyword usage, volume of visits, or where
        visits originated, they won't help you learn more about customers
        intent, needs, or what they might think of a particular business. A good
        marketing strategy incorporates tools such as surveys and other user
        feedback options to learn more about customers and identifying weak
        points in a business which then allows those aspects to be addressed and
        corrected to better meet the wants and needs of customers.

    --  It allows a business to keep pace or pass the competition - The fact of
        the matter is that some businesses do have a clear business plan as well
        as a digital marketing plan in place which they are executing to improve
        their market share. Those businesses not following a strong plan without
        clearly defined goals and strategies risk falling behind and losing
        market share. Playing catch-up typically ends up being more expensive
        and labor intensive compared to sustaining and increasing a market share
        over both existing and new competitors.
