How to make a digital business successful?

5. Protect your online reputation

   Building one's identity in a digitalised society requires effort, but tarnishing one's image is relatively simple. One negative post about your company on social media or a media portal can quickly spread, tainting your brand's reputation and costing you customers.
    
   Interaction is the most effective way to overcome or avoid this situation. Check your social profiles and website for comments regularly, and respond quickly to customer inquiries. You can also register your brand on Q&A platforms such as Quora or discussion forums such as Reddit to see what people are saying about it.
    

6. Automate and delegate

   There are countless tasks in an organisation that are repetitive in nature. Deploying personnel to perform such activities not just wastes time but increases costs as well. It is best to use RPA to complete such tasks. RPA technology is ideal for data entry, billing processes, after-sales support systems, and human resource management systems.
    
   You must also know how and when to delegate the tasks and to whom you need to assign the tasks to get the best results. Also, cross training your employees will help you build a multifaceted army.
    

7. Email Marketing

   For many years, email marketing has aided business growth. It allows notifying customers of new product launches, price changes, special offers, and other information via a personalized contact list.
    
   To implement these digital business tips, you must first contact email service providers (ESPs) to request bulk emailing permission. Using regular email may cause a bandwidth problem. Remember that a well-planned email marketing strategy helps increase brand awareness, conversions, and customer loyalty.
    

8. Connect with digital influencers

   The way brands promote themselves has dramatically changed. Influencer marketing is the new way to connect with prospects. Find people in your industry who have a large number of followers on social media. You can request them to speak about your brand or publish content about it in exchange for either money or free products. This will eventually drive traffic to your website while providing your sales team with a good number of leads for conversions.
    

9. Local listing

   Local directories list a company's phone number, address, and website. Assume you own a small coffee shop in Delhi that relies on the internet to attract customers. When someone searches for the 'best graphic designer in Delhi' on the internet, the search engine and various directories containing information on the same will appear in the search results. Hence, it is vital to get your company listed in directories. Also, create a Google My Business account and fill it out with your contact information, operating hours, offerings, and other details.
