5 Digital Marketing Mistakes You Should Avoid
Holiday marketing is where it’s at this month. Holidays are the perfect time to connect with your audience and help them in their search for the perfect gifts. According to the National Retail Federation, 2 million more people than last year are expected to be shopping from thanksgiving day through Cyber Monday. And with many big-name retailers like Walmart and Costco, launching seasonal sales and discounts much earlier, expect consumers to take advantage of that! This means you need to have your marketing strategy intact and ready to go now! That’s a lot of sales you can be making.
But sometimes, planning your holiday marketing strategy can be stressful and digital marketing mistakes are made.

3. Focusing On Quantity, Not Quality.
You need to focus more on creating high-quality content for your customers and the world. Take your time to produce material that is helpful to your audience. Don’t concern yourself with Search Engines, write content for your customers!

Make sure you are testing your website. The last thing you want is to find out your website is down on Black Friday and miss out on the holiday shopping revenue. Test your website often.
5. Not Using Google Ads!
Google Ads is the most powerful marketing tactic on the planet! Your customers don’t go online, they live online. Search engines are the go to destination for researching items on holiday shopping lists! Your Business needs to be there at the right time with the right message on the right device.
