With so many different digital marketing channels and marketing options out there, we thought it would be interesting to see where small businesses are investing. Which digital marketing channels are businesses investing more of their money and time in?
By understanding this as a business owner, it shows you where your competition is spending their time and money. This, in turn, may show you which digital marketing channels you should be spending your time and money.
We recently came across some research by The Manifest in their 2018 Digital Marketing Survey. They asked business owners and digital marketers which digital marketing channels they will invest more in. 501 people were involved in the survey and these are the top 6 answers they got from respondents in this survey;
