Investors now welcome Utah-based companies to the investing table since many technology/software businesses like Qualtrics, Pluralsight, and Domo had risen over $1 billion (New York Times).
So, how does this affect your small business? Customers and investors compare your digital marketing to Utah technology powerhouses and see that you’re lagging.
Small businesses need to step up and refresh their digital marketing games to match big businesses’ credibility and online presences. Owners need to simplify their marketing: rediscover and specify their brands, implement modern tactics, and track and improve the customization of those tactics.
- Rediscover and Specify Your Brand
Branding: one of the most important aspects of your small business. Without a specific brand, buyers can’t distinguish your company from competitors. A good brand builds credibility, loyalty, and an emotional connection to customers. Ultimately, well-developed brands push customers to “see you as the sole provider to their solution or need,” (The Balance) and motivate them to buy.
As Lake stated, “A brand should require very little thought and contemplation.” Example: Utah’s new brand, the “Silicon Slopes,” relates Utah’s tech prowess to Silicon Valley’s while highlighting its unique qualities.
2. Implement Modern Tactics
Today, your small business needs to have a powerful online presence to reach potential customers. Also, matching big businesses’ modern tactics, such as captivating content, social media marketing, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and intriguing web design, while employing cost-effective strategies, is essential for any small business. However, owners rarely succeed in implementing, continuing, and updating their tactics and strategies; often, they cut digital marketing first to save money and stress.

Then, you should track tactics’ progress to prevent funds from going to waste.
