<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBelow are seven less popular methods of digital marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Video Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When the content marketed is produced in a video format it is called video marketing. A video is created and posted on various online platforms like on the company\u2019s website, YouTube and on other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. This is done to give a boost to brand awareness, to increase conversions and generate revenue. There are many apps that are used to analyze the leads that a company is getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Voice Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Do you know Amazon Alexa, she is a great example of voice marketing. People can ask their doubts and queries to these voice search platforms. Now a days companies are including voice search in their digital marketing strategy. If your website is well optimized for voice search then it will help to draw organic traffic to your site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. Conversational Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It is the art of influencing people by meeting them and having a one on one conversation with them. This includes live chat, emails, phone conversations, texts, Facebook messenger, WhatsApp messenger and more. The medium of communication is decided after figuring out the distribution of audience on various platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, more number of audience is available on Facebook then your priority should be connecting with them through Facebook messenger and along with that you will also connect with your audience via emails, texts and phone calls. This ensures a non-breakable chain of communication by using multiple channels so that you can shift between them. This method also rules out slow responses, internal mis-communication and loss of productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Buzz Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Viral\u2019 term is always surfacing on the internet especially on social media. Regularly\u00a0you can see a video or photograph going viral on the internet.\u00a0So what happens before something goes\u00a0viral. There is a whole marketing strategy behind it\u00a0most of the times. Buzz means creating interest in a product or service by drawing attention of the people towards a particular product. For example, the new\u00a0Apple macbook is creating a lot of buzz on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An environment of anticipation and Interest is created\u00a0in this viral marketing strategy\u00a0for a\u00a0product, an event and taking help of influencers to create word-of-mouth marketing for the launch of the product. So, before an Apple\u2019s macbook\u00a0launch or a new\u00a0Harley Davidson bike\u00a0launch a buzz is created weeks before the actual date of launch by the marketers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This works best when you collaborate with a social media influencer to promote and create a sense of suspense\u00a0or\u00a0excitement about the product.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Stealth Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In stealth marketing, a company hires famous celebrities or uses pseudonyms to promote their product or service where audience don\u2019t realize that they are marketing the product to them. For instance, a business will hire a famous actor who will subtly promote the product to the audience, using sockpuppets and partnering with social media influencers to promote their products by posting it in such a way that the audience don\u2019t realize that it is actually an ad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. User generated Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Opinion of the audience\u00a0is really important when it comes to marketing a product. Big brands constantly conduct polls on social media about their new products and they ask for\u00a0queries and\u00a0customer\u2019s feedback as well. In user-generated marketing, brands ask the audience for ideas, information and their opinions on social media<\/a> or\u00a0they\u00a0run polls and contests to know how they can improve a particular product or what\u00a0adjustments or changes\u00a0they\u00a0can\u00a0make in a new product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n7. Persuasive Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Have you watched that\u00a0Samsung ad where the technician is trying to reach a remote place and when he make it to that place\u00a0he finds out that the kids living there are blind and this must have made you emotional.\u00a0It made me emotional when I first watched it. After watching that ad many people must have felt that Samsung is an amazing brand and it cares about its customers and provides them with the best after services which it does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the point here is that people connect with these types of ads.\u00a0This is persuasive marketing.\u00a0It utilizes people\u2019s emotions to promote a product.\u00a0People tend to continue with things they are emotionally associated with. So businesses take advantage of this aspect. They try to connect their product somehow with people\u2019s emotions and sentiments to kind of persuade them to buy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To sum up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There are many other forms of marketing as well. It is not possible to use all of the forms of marketing because it demands time and manpower, which for a new business might not be possible. But you can try them sequentially and with the right planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
