Digital Marketing Trends in 2020
The benefit of advertising online is that you can do so much with it. You’re not limited to one particular medium, such as television. It’s easy to branch out and utilize social media, as well as create organic and paid ads.
There are many types of online advertising available, and we offer all of them. These include:
- Display advertising
- SEM/SEO
- Native advertising
- Social media
- Marketing ads
- Pay-per-click (PPC)
- Affiliate marketing
- Remarketing
- Video ads
When it comes to 2020 trends in website design, we know what our customers want. For example, serifs are now going to be on the screen, when, in the past, sans serifs were used for computers and mobile. Black-and-white is also quite appealing now, so more websites are only using these tones. However, a pop of color or two is always an eye-catching option!
Of course, websites are always set up to be filled as a systematic grid, but now smooth lines and natural shapes are all the rage. Geometrics, such as rectangles, squares and triangles are still there, but comfort and accessibility are where it’s at now. Make sure your customers want to stay on your page!
What We Do For Our Clients

Establishing Presence
Today’s business must be founded with a digital end in mind. From website development to listing distribution and reputation management, it is essential that key components of your business are in place from the start. Proper setup, tagging and benchmarking give business owners a clear understanding of where their business lives in the digital landscape.

Developing your brand
After the birth of your business online, your brand must be developed, defined and distributed through your website, search engines and social channels to your target audience. Content development, search optimization and community management tell the story of who you are, how you are different from your competitors, and why customers should choose your product or service.

Amplifying your voice
Once you have established a presence and developed your brand, it is time to shout from the mountaintops. This is where smart, targeted digital marketing drives and converts traffic from chosen channels to your site, your phone, or your brick and mortar location. With budgets determined and success metrics established, growing revenue through paid channels is a must for long-term success.
