Advances in technology are quickly moving us towards a digital society with every aspect of our daily lives now seemingly influenced by the online world. Whether it’s communicating with friends and family, completing our daily workflow or just ticking tasks off our ‘to do list’, the digital world is now intertwined with our physical world.
This digitalisation of society has many implications, particularly for businesses that are vying for the attention of consumers who are bombarded with marketing messages online. Digital services matter for businesses as they present an opportunity for business owners to connect with their target audience in multiple ways with very little friction.
Examples of digital services
A digital service is any service or solution that connects a business with its customers. There are numerous examples of digital services, many of which you are probably aware of, such as food ordering systems, online reviews, booking systems, websites, mobile apps and social media management, amongst many others.
The modern day person consumes information across multiple platforms online as well as different devices, such as computers, tablets and mobile phones, therefore it’s important that businesses harness the power to connect with customers across multiple touchpoints.
How can business owners leverage digital services?
Digital services for businesses are an important component of building a unified online strategy. Having visibility across different online platforms, whether it’s a responsive website, regularly posting content on social media or ranking for keywords on search engines, enables businesses to target customers in a more precise way than traditional marketing initiatives that are generally designed as a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
However, many small business owners struggle with leveraging digital services as they don’t have access to the resources, teams and infrastructure afforded to bigger companies to compete across multiple online platforms.
This often means small businesses focus on 1-2 touchpoints to attract and retain customers as opposed to building an online strategy that combines different platforms in an organised and effective way.
