# Selling on the Internet

Of course, you live on this planet and yes, you've realized that the Internet is today your number 1 tool to sell. **Large companies that sell only in a traditional way** (a physical store subject to schedules and that forces people to travel in order to buy something) **are seeing their sales decline** facing the stores that sell more everyday thanks to their digital strategies.

## **Why on the Internet?**

If what you want is to increase your sales these days, you know that you need to make use of this great tool that is Internet (the sooner the better!), even if you keep your physical stores open. Why? Because:

- You will be able to close the sale on your physical store yet, the **opportunity that the client has to get in touch with your brand**, to see you and know you beforehand thanks to the Internet, is unparalleled since:
- Being present on the network allows you to **be there for your customers and attract them** to your company from any computer, tablet or cell phone, 24/7, 365 days a year. There is no better hook! They are already there, looking for what you have... **be there too!**
- These days, if you don't have a physical store doesn't mean that you can't sell big time. Nowadays, you can have your own **virtual store** and close sales right there on the internet! You'll send your products to your clients via parcel. This will allow you to save store costs (rent, employees, electricity, telephone service, etc.). You will also do a great favor to your customers by keeping them from traveling to your store and by being there for them 24/7.

## **Which are your options?**

We see then that the internet actually helps **not only for sales but for marketing as well.** So, depending on your interests, there are several options that you have:

### **1. Social Networks Marketing**

You know them: facebook, instagram, twitter ... Publishing continuously on these networks helps you build brand presence and have your clients know you and your products or services. It has its [limitations](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/why-website-more-important-than-social-networks?hsLang=en) if it isn't carried out withins a broader strategy, but it definitely allows you to be present in on the feed of those groups of people who follow you.

### **2. Email Marketing**

Personalized email marketing that, when [done properly,](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/email-marketing-perfect-solution-reach-clients?hsLang=en) allows you to maintain open communication with your customers. Keep in mind that you must follow a few rules so you don't end up being considered SPAM.

### **3. Paid Ads on Search Engines**

Today, if we have any questions about any purchase that we want to make, or a service that we want to hire, **we first look it up on the internet**, using the service of a **search engine** (such as Google) and ask the questions that we have about the matter, that is, we [investigate](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/educating-your-clients-with-content-a-key-strategy-for-inbound-marketing?hsLang=en).

What every company wants, is for their website to **appear in the first results of this search,** that is, to be the answer that potential customers find first on the network (and they are *potential* because with their keywords, we know they are already looking for what you have).

There are two ways to make it as a *first result*:

- **Paying for it (which is this option)**. It offers immediate results, but:
- **Earning that place [organically](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/internet-search-engines-seo?hsLang=en) (fully explained in the next option of this article)**.

### **4. Creating a Website**

Depending on the approach (and results!) that you want to take, it can be used in different ways:

- **To have a *[static](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/website-design-dynamyc-or-static?hsLang=en)* presence in the network.** Some sort of a traditional brochure with information that never changes. A web page where people can go to in order to find basic information (location, telephone numbers, schedules, services and products that you offer ...) and period. There isn't really a marketing or sales strategy here. It's like appearing in a business directory and nothing else.
- **Sell your products online ([E-commerce](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/-inbound-marketing-work-e-commerce-success-case?hsLang=en))** - A 24/7 virtual store where you offer your products and where the purchase can be make.
- Carry out an [Attraction Marketing](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/what-inbound-marketing?hsLang=en) strategy and, if you want, also close sales on your site. Your website will be built based on constant publications that offer all the [information](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/product-service-ideas-choosing-the-right-blog-content?hsLang=en) that your customers may need. By doing so, search engines will offer your results organically (without you having to pay a penny to them) because you've proven that you offer relevant, true and useful content to those who ask questions (Google also cares for its customers). In this content that you'll offer, you'll include automated steps to follow so that your client continues moving forward towards taking his [buying decision](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/what-buyers-journey-how-used-marketing?hsLang=en), so with this strategy you aren't only doing marketing but you are [selling](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/sales-marketing-possible-marriage-inbound-marketing?hsLang=en) as well.

As you can see, **a website offers many more marketing and selling options than any other digital tool.** If you have a website you can do any of the options mentioned before within a whole strategy:

- A website's content can be published on social networks
- Your website can make use of a [CRM](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/what-is-crm?hsLang=en) to automate email campaigns with your clients
- A Website can help you place your content as a first result on search engines's results... and much more!

**Why use only a tool or two when you can have it all?**

## **Sales Strategy**

What you should be very clear about is that,** in order to be successful with any of the options above**, **you first need to design a [sales plan](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/how-design-sales-plan?hsLang=en) **so that you can:

- Follow a whole strategy that makes use of several digital tools
- Have a clear target and aim to achieve specific and obtainable goals.
- Continuously evaluate whether the results of your campaigns are close to the goal you've set in this plan or not (and in any case, rethink the strategy and redirect efforts when necessary).

We recommend you look for an [expert's](https://www.databranding.net/en-blog/choosing-best-inbound-marketing-agency?hsLang=en) advice so you have support with:

- The design of your sales plan
- The launching of your campaigns
- The training of your sales and marketing teams
- Or even working together along your whole project
