88% of people start their search online before buying a product or service, so depending on what product or service you have, this can be a huge game-changer for you. This percentage was before the virus. So this percentage is going to be 90+%, as a lot more people were forced to search online and they got comfortable searching online.

95% of purchasing is emotional. So if you understand how high the numbers are – you will realize how critical it is now to have an online presence and what is even more important – to understand the needs of your customers.

So if you find the solution for your customers, you are wining.

People will be even more comfortable searching online than ever. 

Those who position well online right now, are still getting clicks and new costumers. But at the same time, don’t think it is too late. No, it is not too late.

Some companies might be canceling marketing right now, so their ranking will go down a bit, so take advantage of it.

The question is where your business is going to be when everything opens up. A lot of our companies made a smart decision to continue with marketing so that their rank doesn’t fall down. So if you can, even if it is every other week for right now, but continue. Don’t just stop, otherwise, it will be that much harder to pull you back up.

It is a Competitive space – if you don’t move forward or stop, you will be falling behind.

Start budgeting 5-7% for marketing – it is the bare minimum! Ideally, eventually, it should be 15%. Once you realize how many more clients you can generate, you will realize the power of online and it will be NOT the expense, it will be the best investment into the growth of your company.

Marketing is your growth driver!
