This article is for all the business owners who have many questions in mind and need answers, BSMART creative agency has the answers, and the first question is why it’s the online marketing time?
, to reach out for more, the easiest way to reach out to a massive number of targeted clients is through marketing. Reaching will create brand awareness, then engagement, and finally sales, and sales is what keeps your business up and running.
But why specifically online marketing? Cause it has its benefits over offline marketing like it’s cheaper when it comes to marketing cost, it spreads faster, and it’s nowadays world direction. But using one of them and ignoring the other isn’t the best-case scenario here; if there are capabilities, using both Online and Offline Marketing is the best-case scenario.

Your second question will be: I have my relations, and I can operate my business based on my connections; why should I go for Marketing?
First of all, “your relation & communications” itself is a type of marketing called “Public Relations (PR) marketing.” PR is one of the most potent marketing types that is built upon word of mouth. Currently, it has its’ own digitalized form through writing website articles and publishing it on creditable websites to increase your credibility when you appear in your target audience’s search.

Great question and its’ answer is two words “Marketing Strategy.” A strategic marketing plan that is built upon the 4Ps of Marketing will create the solution to your pain point.
