Henry Ford once said, “A man who stops advertising to save money is the man who stops his clock to save time.” More importantly, the man who advertises without an effective advertising strategy is a man awaiting failure. Advertising strategies are the blueprints that help businesses sell products or services to consumers. New products that will be launched or old products that need to be marketed should be accompanied by an effective advertising campaign. An advertising campaign is a set of advertising messages revolving around a single idea and is designed based on the advertising strategy. Advertising efforts can achieve benefits, such as brand awareness and increased sales, for the company.

The digital marketing industry is in an era of constant change. What may have worked for you six months ago no longer works today. Keeping up with the Joneses when it comes to marketing may seem like an impossible task, but if you're extremely passionate (like the team at Marketing Eye) you incorporate market research into your everyday routine. Below is a list of 3 digital marketing trends we feel will disrupt the digital marketing industry in 2019.

Content is King. This phrase is a marketer’s bread and butter. But what about consistency? It’s important to pull branding through across every user interface. Think about big companies like Apple and Google. When you see an iPhone, you know it’s an Apple product. The Gmail app has the same look and feel as the desktop version. Why is this important? It lets consumers know that from platform to product, the website, and logo, it’s all the same brand. Same colors. Same functionality.
The trust fall. It’s the ultimate team building exercise. The test of exactly how much you can rely on the people around to no let you unflatteringly crash to your detriment.
The tide turns from time to time - that's a fact. When a business is doing incredibly well, most seasoned entrepreneurs know that some months will follow that are not living up to their expectations.
Reinventing your marketing team should be something all companies do on a yearly basis. Keeping everyone on their toes, but more importantly, encouraging everyone to stay relevant is critical to your company's success. If your marketing team doesn't have their heart in it and are not determined to be successful, then you may see that written in red on your balance sheet.
