Digital Marketing, Layers | Brandom Digital Marketing

Digital Marketing is Layered One of the most essential acknowledgements with digital marketing is that it is not 'one size fits all.'  Marketing solutions need to be tailored to meet the specific needs of a particular group or client. As a basic example, a marketing firm would not offer a google ads plan worth $1900 per month to a small business that brings in $90K per year.  The numbers just don't make sense. Opposingly, if you are managing a large scale business, the marketing solutions have to be robust and responsive enough to keep pace and serve all business channels properly. For digital marketing to be successful long-term, it has to keep a keen focus on the following: Scale of marketing solutions needed :  what solutions fit client A well consider budget consider return (pre-planning of plan offerings) Changing landscape :  Is solution A still effective?  Why? observe the landscape something 'new' is not necessarily better (but it could be) test out new...

Wordpress | Web Design made Efficient

Wordpress So why is Wordpress so efficient?  The first thing that comes to my mind is plugins.  The thousands of plugins that are available for download makes it a convenient one-stop shop. Many of these plugins are free, though some have 'pro' upgrades.  This large collection of plugins can be thought of as the intelligence from different sectors of the web design industry, all available from one screen (for the most part). Since taking on web design in Saskatoon, our company Brandom.ca has really advocated for the genius that is Wordpress.  Some of our favorite themes include Neve and Divi Builder (theme builder). With Divi Builder, wordpress website design is a breeze.  You have a solid plan set out for yourself and the business, and then the ultra gui-friendly frontend of Divi Builder (Elegant Themes) allows you to visualize (no, really visualize) your progress as you design.  The modern, responsive technology available in this theme is multi-function...
