Whether you’re a small business reaching a local market or a large business trying for an international reach, digital advertising is here and it is the key to business success.

Digital advertising has been around since the mid-1990s, albeit on a relatively small scale and only used by big business. With the introduction of Google Ads in the early 2000’s and Facebook in 2007, digital advertising was made accessible to small and medium businesses across the globe.

While many businesses have taken a long time to pick up on the idea of digital advertising to develop a successful business, digital advertising in today’s market is an absolute necessity for any business within any industry.

“Digital advertising has far too many advantages for any business owner to ignore,” says Derek Cafferata, CEO and President of franchising experts All State Franchise Finders. “If you are trying to sell something, no matter what that something is, you need to have a digital advertising presence.”

Among its main benefits, digital advertising is used to generate leads, increase brand awareness, establish customer loyalty, build engaged communities and increase sales.

Different Types of Digital Advertising

Digital advertising is a way for companies to promote their brand, product and/or service to their target market on a local, regional, national and international level.

Digital advertising utilizes any online digital medium, such as social media, email, websites, mobile apps, search engines and affiliate programs.

Understand Your Customer through Digital Advertising

One of the most significant benefits of digital advertising for any franchise business is the data-rich content that it can produce on a target audience. Digital advertising shows in-depth results of a particular advertising campaign, giving business owners the ability to see how successful or unsuccessful their advertising is.

And in seeing this information, digital advertising also gives the business owner an in-depth look into how is buying, or not buying, their product or service.

“With digital advertising, you can fine-tune your advertising to reach a very specific consumer market,” says Derek. “This data-rich feedback you can receive can give great insight into your ideal consumer, whether it be based on age, gender, location, occupation, interests or likes and dislikes.”

Increase Franchise Leads with Digital Advertising

With an online presence, a business has the potential to reach a far greater audience. With digital advertising, you can reach your local target audience just as easily as reaching a target audience on the other side of the globe.

“But don’t think that digital advertising is only for those who want to reach beyond their local geographic area,” says Derek. “Utilizing digital marketing for your local neighborhood is about the most effective way to get your name out there to those around you.”

And it’s not just about sales when it comes to digital advertising. Digital advertising enables you to interact and connect with your customers.

“Be social, be attentive, be present and be honest with your digital presence,” says Derek. “You will quickly build a loyal community of customers that will grow exponentially, taking your business from one success to the next.”
