To start with, I would like you to think about how the internet is influencing the Indian Consumer.
2015 saw what is called the “Age of the Digital Baba” in the Indian Consumer.
70% of Indian consumers know the exact brand and model they want through online research before entering a store, a study conducted by Google India has said.
The study highlighted two facts about internet in India:
Internet helps in awareness and impacts decisions of final purchase
It is impacting decision in Semi-Urban India as well and mobile seems to be a strong medium to connect to the internet
This clearly shows how offline behaviour of consumers is changing with increasing internet/ digital penetration in India.
Hence, it has become important to strengthen a companies digital assets to reach its audience effectively.
Digital marketing strategy, tools and solutions can be integrated into your marketing efforts seamlessly.
Digital marketing can help companies reach its marketing objectives by:
Increasing brand exposure
Providing market insight
Developing loyal fans

In today’s rapidly changing marketing landscape, digital marketing has become an indispensable part of a business’ overall marketing strategy.
Marketers today have understood the importance of digital marketing and the mammoth difference that a well-executed, result-oriented digital strategy could make to the overall growth and profitability of a business.
Crafting a winning digital plan entails understanding the business in and out, clearly defining its goals and drawing up a profile of its target audience.
All these differ from business to business and hence there is no one size fits all strategy.
However, here are certain key ingredients which must be effectively incorporated into every digital strategy to successfully drive business growth.

On Page SEO is critical to drive higher traffic.

Off Page SEO
Given the importance of inbound links in acquiring traffic, we work on your Off-page SEO, to build links from high quality sources which is an excellent and viable long-term strategy.
White Hat SEO
Strictly stick to White-hat techniques which are widely accepted by search engines. Black-hat techniques trick search engines into increasing the rankings for pages and can get the site penalized. Also stay clear of grey-hat techniques which tread the thin line between black-hat and white hat. Grey hat techniques are controversial with some techniques which were grey hat yesterday have become black hat today.
Social Media Marketing
Creating creative campaigns on social media helps brands attain higher visibility and business results.
Run campaigns across relevant social media tools: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest and blogger networks.
Facebook
With over 115 Million Indians now on Facebook, there is no better way to connect with your audience and build top-of-mind recall.
For impulse purchase categories (e.g. restaurants, fashion products), Facebook is an attractive channel for lead generation as well.

Google Adwords
Google is the world’s most widely used search engine. Nearly 70% of all worldwide searches are done on Google. For India, that number is a whopping 97%.
Google’s advertising network Adwords, is the world’s largest and most powerful network with a reach of over 86% of all internet users. It makes perfect sense for you to harness this massive reach and use it to expand that of your business.
Advantages of Google Adwords
PPC:
You only pay if someone clicks on your ad. So if someone views your ad but doesn’t click on it, you don’t pay anything.
Budget Control:
Advertising budget control has never been easier. You decide how much you are willing to spend and specify an upper limit for your daily budget spend which will not be exceeded.
Target Audience:
Your ad is only displayed to people who are looking for the products/services you offer. You can also target based on location, ensure they appear only to people in your city, region or country.
Measurement and Analysis:
This is by far the biggest advantage of Adwords. You can effectively use Google Analytics and myriad other diagnostic tools available to analyze your campaign to know what is working and what is not. This allows constant optimization of thee campaign and an eventual increase in conversions.
Facebook Advertisements
Facebook has over 1.19 billion active worldwide users and 65 million of them are Indians. India is Facebook’s fastest growing market, growing at a phenomenal 47%. As more and more people get onboard this Social Network, no growing business can afford to ignore this massive potential audience. With FB Advertisements, we ensure you get the most of this virtual universe of engaged customers.
Benefits:
With over 250 million unique visitors per month, FB is the world’s most visited website after Google – This allows for a large Ad exposure
Targeted Audience:
FB allows advertisers to target people based on location, demographics, interests, connections and a lot of other options. This allows you to target a niche category of people who you’d like your ad to be shown to.
PPC:
You only pay if someone clicks on your ad. So if someone views your ad but doesn\’t click on it, you don\’t pay anything.
Budget Control:
Advertising budget control has never been easier. You decide how much you are willing to spend and specify an upper limit for your daily budget spend which will not be exceeded.
FB fan page:
Once the Ad campaign has been used to popularize the FB page, the attracted customers can be kept engaged through creative content and promotions.
Multiple Ad views:
FB offers multiple Ad views as people visit the site multiple times a day.
Create Image-based/Larger Ads than Adwords
Access to Smart phone users:
Large number of users access FB through smart phones.

Retargeting Ads
Has a visitor to your site abandoned his shopping cart? Window-shopped and left? Retarget him. Bring him back.
Retargeting, also known as remarketing, is a form of online advertising that enables you to show ads to customers who have visited your site but left without making a purchase. These ads appear on other sites that the person is browsing through, keeping your brand visible to him, recapturing his attention and bringing him back.
Statistics show that about 2% of shoppers convert on the first visit to an online store. Retargeting attempts to bring back the other 98%.
Benefits:
Higher CTR: Click rates higher as compared to Adwords as the brand and the product/service are still fresh in the visitor’s mind.
Higher conversion rates:
The ads are targeting visitors who were already interested in the product/service and so they convert faster.
High CTR X High Conversion = Good ROI
Bring back bounced traffic
