Advanced Online Marketing Strategies Include Optimised Video


Businesses in need of better market reach for their product or service can use numerous tools and techniques to stay at the top of the game. New videos, for example, already have substantial value thanks to their engaging spoken and visual presentations of information. Optimising videos may allow for more mileage in search engines and bring in fresh customer traffic. The efforts to showcase a business’ offerings may not be lost on entrepreneurs in London, given the city’s status as one of the world’s technology and economic centres. A recent study by Cisco Systems estimated that video content traffic over the Internet might comprise 78% of all online activities by 2018, with UltraHD and 4K videos accounting for one-tenth of the pie. When your video materials should be tweaked or upgraded for more online visibility, consider your options with an online marketing company such as Alcyon WebBuild.

Why You Need a Mobile Friendly Website

In a city like London, it is not hard to imagine that most local businesses will have their own websites. If you want your company to be noticed, your site must be as accessible to as many people as possible. With more people browsing the Internet from their smartphones and tablets as opposed to desktop PCs, making sure your site works well on mobile devices is, therefore, a crucial business strategy.

We’ve all experienced the frustration of trying to navigate a site that is not mobile optimised. If this describes your site, you’re certain to be losing business to companies whose web presence is properly mobile-ready. Google has recognised the importance of this shift and from April onwards has begun penalising sites that are not mobile friendly by giving them a lower ranking on search listings.

There is another big advantage to having a mobile-ready site, and that is the ability to target customers in your local area. The geo-location features built into most mobile devices allow consumers to search for businesses close to where they are. Mobile optimisation is, therefore, an ideal way of targeting people in your part of London, whether they are residents or visitors looking for a particular service.

The Internet evolves quickly, and no one can accurately predict the future. Yet with wearables and other portable devices increasingly dominating the online arena, it seems certain that mobile use is here to stay. Businesses will need to embrace that reality if they want to succeed.

Aligning Online Marketing Strategies with Current Needs and Trends


The advent of new technologies has transformed the way consumers interact with businesses, shop, and make decisions. This means that business owners who want to remain competitive must adapt their marketing strategies and campaigns to meet the expectations of their increasingly tech-savvy customer base. In 2012, British businesses spent over £800 million in online marketing strategies and benefited from greater exposure and wider reach. Despite its growing popularity, the potential of online marketing is not fully understood by every business owner. Online marketing is an umbrella term that encompasses multiple digital strategies that range from web design to online reputation management. Web design is an integral part of modern branding and marketing strategies for companies big and small. A professionally designed website is a must for every company, as websites are the first point of contact with many potential clients.
