Social Media Management
Businesses love to advertise on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, but at their core those forums are there to create social connections for users, first and foremost.
A common mistake businesses make is to use social media platforms as a tool to bombard their target audience with relentless promotional messaging. This could be a tremendous mistake that may turn your audience away instead of attracting new followers who are loyal to your brand.
Great social media management includes regular sharing of personal posts -- images that give a glimpse behind the scenes of your business, employee highlights, holiday celebrations, and so much more.
Aside from being business people, we are all consumer, too. Think about what brands you like the most on social media. A company that engages its social media audience, listens to suggestions and complaints, interacts and responds and shares -- those are the brands that are successful on social media.
At CORE Digital Brands we know how to manage your social media pages in a way that leaves customers and prospects coming back for more of your social content.

Geo-Fencing
Put your storefront location to work with geofencing, a location-based service that uses WiFi, cellular data, or GPS to trigger ad service to nearby customers and prospects via cell phone notification.
As the name implies, geofencing creates a "fence" or boundary around a specified geographic area -- a neighborhood, a zip code, a radius around a storefront, etc. Persons within that boundary, depending on other targeting factors, receive a promotional message designed to draw foot traffic from potential customers already in the area.
Geofencing is a win-win: potential customers are notified of great deals nearby that they may be interested in, and business owners receive more spontaneous foot traffic. Of course, the advertiser doesn't have to have a storefront location -- perhaps you simply want to zero in on a certain geographic area. This could be a neighborhood with certain demographic features, or a city district that serves special interest groups that match your ideal business audience.
If you have a storefront (and even if you don't!), let's talk about geofencing!
-
Mobile ads with geofencing have double the click-through rate.
-
Geofencing is compatible with 92% of smartphones.
-
The average consumer spends 5 hours a day on their mobile device.
-
3 out of 4 consumers complete an action after receiving a message when approaching a specific location
-
53% of shoppers visited a retailer after receiving a location-based message

Email Marketing
Email marketing has existed for just about as long as email itself, as companies quickly figured out its usefulness to communicate brand messaging, sales events, and more.
Email marketing is an excellent tool to get and stay in front of the customer and reaches target audiences at every stage of the marketing funnel. Highly customizable, extremely flexible and with convenient automation options, email marketing is a highly effective technique for just about any marketing budget.
Email marketing can significantly improve web traffic by leading interested prospects to your site.
With the right messaging and creative assets, email marketing can generate warm leads that can then be nurtured and remarketed to, pushing potential customers further down the sales funnel until a purchase decision is made.
