- 3. Excite the customer When you are trying to excite the customer marketers usually will use all kinds of digital offers which include, apps and games, to get them excited about that product. For example, you could excite your customer by advertising your product on an app and get the customer interested in it. Exciting your customer is always the first thing you should do to get them to buy your product or even find interest in it.
- 4. Educate the customer You need to have a well developed digital marketing plan that is clear and concise to draw your customer in and educate them well on the product. Most of the time the customer is already educated on the product and just needs to be educated and remind on why tha product could be so good for them.
- 5. Experience the Product or service The customer can experience the product or service through going online to watch videos with others experiencing the product or service and can see if they really enjoy it. It’s like having a free subscription for a month on amazon prime or disney plus, they’re letting you test out those two things before you actually decide whether or not you want it. Experiencing the product is always good for customers to do before deciding to buy the product or service.
- 6. Engage the customer When you engage the customer, you’re almost creating a relationship between you and the customer and you hope they stay loyal to your product or service. You can actively engage with your customers usually through microblogging or blogging. You can even use apps for stores to engage with your customers, or there’s the websites that have someone who is there to talk to you 24/7, engaging with you.

The content should be aligned with the target market otherwise this won’t have a target market anymore. You have to be consistent with your content to make sure it’s successful. ● Community is like blogging and microblogging. It helps you connect with others that have the same interests and then you can talk to those people through your blog or anyone else’s blog.
