Nigeria: Effective Marketing Channels to Grow Your Business or Brand

27 October 2024

Video Marketing

Video marketing is one of the fastest-growing channels of marketing, and arguably has the most potential today. Video can boost conversions, generate leads, improve ROI, and establish a stronger emotional connection between your brand and audience than any other medium.

Email marketing

Email marketing is a powerful and low-cost way to engage with both existing and potential customers who've shown interest in your product, service, website or brand. Email marketing gives you complete control over the content your subscribers get, and when and how often they receive marketing messages.

Paid Search (search engine marketing)

Paid search, also known as search engine marketing (SEM) or pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, can help build awareness and generate leads for your business. When you run a PPC campaign, your ads will appear above the organic search results for the search terms you've nominated. Paid search is an excellent option for businesses with new websites that won't initially rank well organically.

Influencer Marketing

Influencer marketing is a super effective advertising channel that gets your products in front of a highly engaged target market. Influencer marketing uses what we call 'social proof' to get people to buy into products and services. That is, people are more likely to make purchase decisions when hearing about it from someone they trust. Influencers usually have a large following of loyal and engaged followers who trust them implicitly, will listen to their opinions, and act on their recommendations.

Content Marketing

Content marketing is the process of creating, publishing, and distributing content to attract and engage your target audience. By creating content that delivers value and solves your customer's problems you can establish yourself as an authority in your field and reach new customers in the funnel.

Public Relations

Public relations or just PR is a type of marketing channel that aims to get recognition and publicity from the press and includes getting news about your business on blogs, TV, newspapers and magazines. This works well if your audience is more active on traditional types of marketing channels.

Partnership Marketing

Partnership marketing is when two brands collaborate to create campaigns that are beneficial to both parties. It's a great way of amplifying your reach by getting in front of another brand's audience.
