How should I promote my business in 2020 in Marbella? Should I hire Social Media Instagram and Facebook advertising? Where should I advertise my events and services?

I have 11 years of experience on how to do marketing in Marbella, one of the most luxurious tourist destinations. Every year I work with a different marketing strategy, and I have seen so many openings and closings.

Following this idea, I know exactly what you need.

If you want to start a new business in Marbella, I advise you to have business consulting. We also offer business plans and strategy consulting services.

Today I am focusing on online marketing, social media, and branding in Marbella 2020.

Ask yourself, Does Social Media marketing work for Your Business Today?

Yes and No!

Why Instagram and Facebook social media post doesn't work for your business anymore?

The answer is simple they are not enough! You can hire someone to do your social media ads, videos and posts. It will cost time and money!

And this doesn't benefit your business! Why?

• They are too expensive to keep
• Short term –last less than 24 hours for histories
• Low ranking in Google searches.
• You can’t search it events in Instagram and Facebook isn’t the best either
• You can’t control the future of your page
• Even paid advertisement costing today 3x more than 1 year ago

Today Social Media costs are too high, revenues too small and the effects too short!

But YES you have to keep your accounts and make updates weekly or monthly because people use social media. Also, you need your website where people can get your contact information and find out about your services. But don't build up all your marketing strategies around Social Media platforms.

How to make your marketing work more for you?

1)    Make your info last forever

2)    Make your material repeatable

3)    Make your information easy to find

To fulfill these 3 criteria, you need a well-established website where you can publish all your marketing material. This website should have history, relevant content, and constant traffic to be trusted by Google.

In i-Marbella.com, for example, we meet all these criteria. 

Long-lasting, repeating and easy to find information are the keys to future marketing. 

The Internet is already full of junk, and we are producing more than 1 billion pieces every minute. How does this end? Chaos and waste ground like plastic in the ocean! The Internet is just a virtual junk pin, where you can’t find what you need easily!

How to make Long-lasting, repeating and easy to find online marketing steps by steps:

1)    Find the right media partner who writes, publishes and talks about you and your business.

2)    Publish your information on a well-established website with your website links. (your webpage ranks higher in Google search)

3)    Publish the same material on your site and include media partner links 

4)    Publish multiple articles and news to different target groups.

5)    Now you can share these materials on social media

Well-established website Advantages?:

• you can share these articles links multiple times
• you are visible in the Google’s engine
• people will find your marketing material quickly
• you can send the same link to your clients and partners 

Why is this good for your brand marketing?

• It's better for your client if someone outside your business says you're good.
• Creates a brand with past, present, and future
• It's securing your brand credibility and results.
• Protects your brand

How to get the most maximum marketing benefits from your events?

There are 3 ways to put your event in the mouth of everyone:

Repeating

You can talk about your business multiple times before, during and after the event! It works best for marketing- repeating. 

Covering

Publishing a picture gallery from events, celebrities or other information news creates the brand’s recognition and facilitates maximum reach.

Getting organic

People will like your next event advertisement more after the previous positive published gallery. Maybe they even will come to the next event or share it in their social media.

What is your "business friends" and support group?

It can be PR people or all kind of influencers in the area, who can benefit your business:

• social life butterflies, long term local, seasonal local, professional PR people

Make your "Business friends"! Create your business support group

It can be paid or not paid people, it is up to you, but for sure you have to give something back! Free drinks or invitations or contract them! Look for a group of people or employees who talks positively about your business and regularly publish information about your business in their social media! 

People follow people !!!

Establish human relationships and get out from behind the computer.

The worst things I have seen, is friendly talk in messenger or WhatsApp and in real life you meet ice-cold, arrogant and speechless people when they see you :)))

Who will come back? 

Be the same friendly and open like you are in messenger or online talk!
