How do I sell Digital Marketing Services?
If the question of a ‘How’ surrounds your mind, then the first and foremost thing is that you must know how to execute your plans. The initial point is that you must know your customer. Knowing your client or customer means what your client must be searching for when he wants Digital Marketing Services and what is that your client requires. Here are three categories that explain a client that needs Digital Marketing Services.
- Beginner
The client might have an existing client base, but his web presence may not be able to understand how e-commerce usually proceeds further. Therefore, they may say, “We want the people to know us.” Alternatively, they might say, “We want to become visible and want to put ourselves out there.” In fact, they mean that they want people to recognize them by putting themselves out for their audience. The opening clients are always willing to make primary investments, and as a Digital Marketer, it becomes your job to measure what is the most essential, which you must focus on, as well as how much investment is required.
- Intermediate
Now, the client in the primary stage has invested, but that investment is not sufficient because they have many things that are to fix. They might have things that are broken and require accuracy and perfection. There will be many things running smoothly, but also there will be many other things that are to be corrected. Surely, this is the stage where the Digital Marketer can cater to the problems of issues.
Some of the clients require viewing the website, looking at the system, and fixing what is breaking. This allows the digital marketing agency to work more. In short, it is not wrong to say that a client who is in the intermediate stage more or less is looking for a ‘Break or Fix’ answer.
- Advanced
When the client reaches the advanced stage, he demands speed. They are now established in the digital world and also have a strong following and now want ‘Return on Investment’ or ‘Return on Ad Spend.’ In short, they want to gain what they have spent on digital marketing. They want to run, want to improve the scale of what they have spent, and now want to achieve what they aim for. Because they require their investment back, they now want to have a figure; in fact, they want now to generate leads and earn money. The money they want is actually the profit of the surplus.
How must a Digital Marketing Agency Price its Digital Marketing Services?
Well, this is a point to understand that the pricing cannot be the same for all clients. Many things are to bring under consideration because the niche and demand are both different when it comes to Digital Marketing services. Most of the clients ask for many other services as well; for example, they do not even have a website, and they require web development and other digital marketing services for a good start. Therefore, that is why the package or the pricing cannot remain the same. As mentioned before, the client is in different stages, and those stages demand varied charges. But there are some particular price evaluation points that can allow you to understand how you can categorize your pricing and how much the pricing can increase.
Scope
First, determine the scope of work as small projects might take a bigger scale, so first, determines the requirements of the client. This will make things easier for you to understand how much ‘Time Investment’ it requires. Prepare criteria by which you can distinguish client demands. For instance, make packages for specific workflow; likewise, beginner, intermediate, and advanced. When the scope of work is out of one particular category, then push the price up.
Intricacy
When the project is more complex or intricate, then the price range is due. The intricacy of the plan can be easily determined by your sketched categories. You must know your range on a particular client demand; for instance, if the client requires eight (8) components in a seven-(7) component package, then for sure the price will increase up to the next level, and indeed the cost will increase because the cost of the services will be altered.
Chance
Additionally, clients want Digital Assistance from digital marketing agencies; they want to give the next level to work so. Definitely, there must be an increase in the value of money. The more additional work is added, the more rates will increase. Thus, you must define and design a workflow and pattern that will elaborate the work quantity and the charges for it. Speeding things up or demanding more services will call for more value for money.
