There’s little doubt that you’re already using the Internet in your business to send emails, make payments and browse new business opportunities and ideas online.

You may even have a website and social media portfolio too. All of which is a good starting block. The question we’re asking is – how is the Internet working for you?

How can you take your business further by embracing what you already have?

Get your Online Inline.

Think about how you consume the Internet for a second.
Where is your starting point?

If you answered Google, you’re on the right track. More than 200 million Internet users default to Google on their Internet browsers - each day!

Ever wondered how Google knows what results to show you when you type in, say, “door frames”? It’s down to how well your website has been optimized for that keyword.

Ctrlroom sets about to optimize your website by ensuring that the keywords your potential clients type into Google result in your website being seen.

Now think about how your customers are consuming the Internet…

Someone just clicked the link to your website –
now what?
Your website’s home page has less than a second to command a visitor’s attention. That’s less time than it took you to read that sentence. If a visitor to your webpage doesn’t feel that it fulfils their needs right away, they will click back faster than you can say “But wait, there’s more…”

Your website landing page is what sets you apart from your competitors. And trust us – there are many competing for the same customers as you are. At Ctrlroom, we optimize the design of your webpage to ensure your customers stay interested, while giving them the best possible user experience online.

You’ve put the bait out.
Now set the hook.

Conversion rate optimization is a science. It’s the process of fine-tuning a website to lower the bounce rate and lead visitors to the action you want them to complete.

Think of conversion optimization as corrective surgery for your website. Issues like outdated content, broken links, confusing layout design and other issues turn away potential customers.

By fine tuning your calls-to-action, streamlining contact forms and other elements which users interact with, Ctrlroom optimizes your webpage. And not only do we make your webpage and online content better –
we make it covert!

Driving Through The Line

To coin a phrase – “Digital marketing can be thought of as the combination of push and pull Internet technologies to execute measurable marketing campaigns”. The keyword here is `Measurable'.

Digital marketing practices allow for accurate reporting to gauge effectiveness. This means you have real-time insight into your campaigns, unlike traditional Above and Below The Line practices. These insights give you the intelligence needed to optimize your campaigns to their optimal performance capacity.

So how does Ctrlroom help you?

Ctrlroom develops digital strategies around your business, merging them with your traditional landscape. By going Through the Line, we create a holistic view of your marketing portfolio, with measured results.

Newsletters

Email marketing is often used in the same sentence as ‘Spam’. Sadly, unethical business practices have given the humble newsletter a bad name. But it needn’t be that way. Ctrlroom can create a newsletter strategy for you – crafting beautifully designed emails that appeal to your customers. And encourage clicks to purchase.

PPC

Pay per Click advertising, or PPC as it is known in our circles, is best described as online advertising. The ‘pay per click’ jargon refers to the mechanic these campaigns are built on. Simply put – we create ads that are targeted to your potential customers, online, using clever copywriting and keyword insight. These ads are often seen in Google or Facebook. Once an ad is clicked, you get charged. If it doesn’t get clicked, you don’t. Simple as that.

If online content is king –
social media is amplification.
Without preaching the usual social media gospel so well versed by other digital agencies, we simply say this – digital marketing isn’t a fad anymore. It’s a critical component to your overall marketing strategy.

We know that your customers are more likely to engage with you via social media than other traditional touch points. So we integrate customer service with carefully devised content pillars, creating meaningful conversations. These conversations help us understand what your customers think of your business. But more importantly, these conversations allow us insight into what you need to do to better serve your customers.

At Ctrlroom, we’re all about building communities around your brand. It’s no longer good enough to simply plug social media in and hope it works. Your business needs to become social to make it work.

Your website is more than an online business card.
It’s an ever evolving conversion tool.
Think of your website as a shopping centre. If you had 100 000 people visiting it every day, but none of them bought anything, you’d know there was a problem. Your webpage is much the same.

Because it's digital, a reporting engine can be layered within the back-end of your website, allowing real-time analysis into which aspects of your website are, or aren’t, performing. Analytics such as what is being viewed, how often, how long, as well as response rates and purchases made, can all be tracked and analysed to further enhance your online offering.

Ctrlroom is able to not only manage these reports, but also offer educated recommendations.
Think of it as an unfair advantage over your competitors.

Ctrlroom isn’t ye ole’ digital agency.
We’re online optimizers.

Thing is – we came to realise very early on that the world of traditional retail and service offerings was evolving faster than business owners cared to pay attention to. As such, we became the crutch for the late bloomers to use, to step up their digital portfolio and rise to the times.

What we learnt through this process was that digital agencies and conversion optimizers are very similar.
But their goals differed.

At Ctrlroom, we talk about our “customer’s customers”. We believe in building insightful communities around brands, as opposed to brands shouting at customers. After all, the best press you can get is from the mouth of a happy customer. And what better way to get them talking than on social media?

This brought us into another mind-set of community management, aiding in providing sterling customer
service solutions, digitally.

While we do design and build websites, create compelling copy and create engaging digital content, we view this as an integrated approach to optimizing your web presence. Ergo, leading to an optimized conversion rate.

After all, you don’t have to be first to market to be successful. You have to be best to market.
Ctrlroom gives you that edge.

Hashtags on Facebook? #BraceYourself

Once the realm of chatrooms and Twitter iconic champion, the hashtag, is (#allegedly) making its way to Facebook…

Despite being around since the early days of Internet chatroom sites, hashtags have been assimilated most successfully by Twitter where the practice (of preceding a term or group of words with the # sign) has pretty much come to represent the online platform itself.
