What Works in Online Marketing

As a marketer, have you ever wondered:

• What other marketers are spending their money on?
• What strategies other marketers are using?
• What results other marketers are seeing?
• Where does the marketing community think trends are heading?

Of course, you have. We all have. The answers to these questions can help you understand your place in the marketing world, come up with better strategies, and prepare for the uncertain future of online marketing in dozens of specific areas. 

Unfortunately, these answers aren’t clear; even if you talk to every marketer you meet in person, you’re still only getting a narrow perspective of the marketing landscape. 

To gain a broader understanding, it's essential to explore various digital marketing channels, from social media marketing to search engine optimization. Balancing traditional marketing methods with innovative online advertising and content marketing can enhance your overall marketing strategy and ensure a successful campaign across different search engines.

At AudienceBloom, we’ve attempted to go a step further by creating, executing, and analyzing a survey to uncover the answers to these questions, and then some. Sprawling over 50 questions, we collected information from 357 of the nation’s online marketers, and the results spell an interesting and dynamic future for some of the most popular marketing strategies of our era. As a general trend, marketing budgets are on the rise, but that only scratches the surface of what we found. 

Our findings indicate that an effective online marketing strategy must incorporate various digital channels, such as email marketing and Google Ads, to reach potential customers. By refining their social media marketing strategy and search engine marketing campaign, digital marketers can maximize their online marketing efforts and drive traffic to their web pages.
