Developing a Digital Growth Strategy
18 November 2018
What Effective Digital Growth Strategy Consists of?
These include the implementation of a structured approach combined with constant developments and experimentation. Balancing these contrasting elements is essential for developing strategy which brings results.
When developing a growth strategy, it’s fundamental to initially create a Growth Framework in which a skilled team are able to run optimised experiments for achieving better results. Consistent optimisation requires an efficient process in order for insightful data to turn into sustainable results. Aligning with key performance indicators (KPI) such as providing more online leads or content creation, is essential in generating the ideal outcomes.
Once KPIs have been established, strategic processes can be implemented. A process will start by determining goals, generating ideas, aligning them in relation to the KPIs, dividing work efficiently among team, measuring results, and assessing results. This framework can be broken down in to smaller stages using methodology such as SCRUM, providing an efficient measure for proper results. Aspired results can change through yearly meetings and goals.
Identifying The Hurdles That Hinder Your Company’s Growth
An essential step for market growth strategy is to identify points for growth across the marketing funnel, product development, sales segments, and other sectors of the business. Identifying these points will optimise and stimulate growth for companies.
An example of identifying a stimulate for growth is turning blog readers into subscribers. Having more subscribers than blog readers will enable more data to be used in marketing areas and elevate the sales process. Converting free leads into paying customers must be made a comfortable progression, which may include options such as paywalls, usage limitation, and most importantly increasing both new and old customers’ experience.
Growth software tools are growing in the market like never before and will give a competitive edge to whoever takes advantage of the new program, software, or tools they offer. Growth hacking apps and software are more important than ever for marketing managers and start-ups to identify and reach their audience, generate results and provide insights into future strategies. Many software tools focus on small niches and are relatively unknown, but they will still create a more efficient marketing process and offer a competitive advantage for those who use it.
