Indeed, it is part of digital marketing.<\/p>\n For Malaysia SME business, many often put lower priorities on digital billboard, TV & radio as the budget entries are higher. It is also part of outbound marketing strategies which target mass audiences.<\/strong><\/p>\n For example, the big brands like Coca-Cola, Nike, Adidas, Apple have the budget to reach a broad audience using digital billboard, TV & radio ads. It is suitable because every consumer is their target audience.<\/p>\n On the other side, inbound marketing targets a specific group of audience. You only show your message to those who are interested in your products or services. With the rise of Google search engine and social media, it becomes easy for Malaysia SME business.<\/p>\n In this guide, I will focus on digital marketing services for inbound marketing in Malaysia.<\/p>\n It’s in 2020. A lot of things have changed compared to 5- 10 years back. Due to the popularity of mobile devices, search engine and better internet speed, traditional marketing method are no longer work. Everything moves to online. Fewer people read the newspaper or watch TV. Putting up banner ads or sending brochures is not cost-effective now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you want to grow your business in today’s competitive marketing, digital channels are the way to go. Here are the benefits of digital marketing:<\/p>\n Web design services<\/a> are in high demand and shortly follow by digital marketing campaigns.<\/div><\/div>\n More people will search online and consuming more of their time on social media sites.<\/p>\n Implementing digital marketing strategies on your company is no longer a choice but a MUST now.<\/p>\n Now, let’s see what type of digital marketing Malaysia’s<\/a> strategies that you can use to reach your potential customer more effectively. Each of them might have their pros & cons.<\/p>\n SEO refers to Search Engine Optimization<\/a>. It is a process involving changes on your website (on-page optimization<\/a>) and promoting your site to get more reference links from other high-quality sites (off-page optimization<\/a>) to improve the organic search engine rankings.<\/p>\n It doesn’t cost anything like paid ads once your site ranks well.<\/strong><\/p>\n For example, if you search for a florist in Kuala Lumpur, you will get the result as below. The SEO result indicates in the red box.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n SEO can be applying on Google search engine result, Google map and YouTube<\/strong> (the second largest search engine after Google). Find out more SEO benefits here<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, SEO is a long-term process<\/a> where it usually takes 3-6 months to see the result. Unlike paid ads, you can get the result within days.<\/p>\n Google Ads (Search Engine Ads) refers to pay per click services. Everyone sees Google Ads<\/a> every day and everywhere in Malaysia.<\/p>\n For example, If I need plumbing service in Petaling Jaya, I will search for a plumber PJ in Google search engine to find the right plumber.<\/p>\n I have money ready in my hand to spend and fulfil my needs.<\/strong> Thus, you can quickly get the sales leads from visitor comes from Google traffic (Ads and SEO) because they need your product and services urgently.<\/p>\n For Malaysia SME business, Google Ads will be a good option to get started and look for quick result.<\/p>\n Social medial marketing is another popular option to promote a business in Malaysia.<\/p>\n In Malaysia, Facebook<\/a> is widely used compared to other social media platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn as the user-based and audience demographic is better compared to others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Same as Google search engine, Facebook marketing also divided into Facebook paid ads, and free traffics from Facebook page or group.<\/p>\n But unlike the Google platform, Facebook is not designed to fulfil urgent demand from the consumer. You will not search a locksmith or plumber on Facebook, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n You are browsing Facebook newsfeeds looking for news, jokes, funny video from family, friends or news website.<\/p>\n In between, you might see some interesting ads message trigger you to find out more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n We often say Facebook marketing help to create demand and not fulfil demand.<\/p>\n If you have new products or services that nobody knows, Facebook is the social media platform for you.<\/p>\n It has a vast audience, and you can set detail targeting based on their interest and demographics.<\/p>\n Content is a big part of inbound marketing, where you can use content to show your knowledge & credibility.<\/p>\n You can use Facebook paid traffic to drive more visitors to read your content and slowly turn them into your customer. It is also useful to bring in free organic traffic once the articles rank well in Google search engine.<\/p>\n The content team will help you plan out the type of content related to your products or services and also attract the right potential customer to follow your brand.<\/p>\n Waze<\/a> is one of the most popular map navigation apps in Malaysia. Waze ads will be suitable for local businesses, especially the F&B and automotive industry. And you also need to make sure your company able to find in Waze app to ease your customer looking for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To add your business location into Waze, simply register and verify a Google My Business (GMB) page. It will appear in Waze after some time once you verified your GMB page. Waze bought over by Google. So, business data in GMB will be shared in Waze as well.<\/p>\n This is not the old-time email marketing where you buy thousands of emails database to blast to unknown recipients about your business.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Never do this anymore. It brings more harm than sales to your business.<\/p>\n Your email will only either end up in the spam folder or being ignored by everyone. It doesn’t work anymore in today’s business world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n Opt-in email strategy gives the user some value in advance to encourage them to subscribe to your mailing list. The value should able to solve one particular problem of your potential customer.<\/p>\n This way, you can start to build the customers relationship with them. One day when they need the services, they will look for you first because they already trust you.<\/p>\n According to Statista report, there are 3.5 billion smartphone users in 2020. It definitely has its potential.<\/p>\n If you wish to use mobile ads, just sign up with the right Mobile Advertising Networks and place your ads. Here are few popular mobile advertising networks:\u00a0Millennial Media<\/a>, AdMob<\/a> (Under Google), Chartboost<\/a> and Tapjoy<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I often heard many asked\u2026 Should I create a mobile app for my company?<\/p>\n The answer is NO unless your business is a platform like WhatsApp, Grab, Food panda or e-Wallet.<\/p>\n Ask yourself, how many apps you have downloaded for the past 30 days? Do you think others will download your app just to access some information or checking booking status?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n Honestly, a mobile-friendly website plus email is more than enough to handle everything. I don’t recommend to build mobile apps for local business.<\/strong><\/p>\n The chatbot is getting popular nowadays. The main reason is the open rate is sky high, close to 100% compare to email. It works similar to opt-in email marketing where you get people to subscribe to your FB Messenger chatbot. You can then blast out your message to your audience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I used ManyChat for some of our clients which is very useful for F&B business. I strongly recommend signing up a free account to collect from contact from FB messenger.<\/p>\nDigital Marketing Malaysia – What it is?<\/span><\/h2>\n
