As we begin a new year in 2015, the writing is on the wall. Digital marketing is not only here to stay but it is consistently becoming a larger part of most companies marketing budgets every year. According to Emarketer.com, in 2010 companies spent twice as muchon TV than they did on digital. By the end of 2015, TV anddigitalspendwill be just about equal.
So what does this mean for you? Well if you dont have your website up to date, arent engaging in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Content Marketing or some kind of Search Engine Marketing strategy you might want to make a business case for doing so. It also means more and more companies are diving head first into digital marketing and buying into the hype of various buzz words they see online or on social media. Yet many times they still lack true understanding ofwhat they should expect from their digital marketing efforts or from adigital marketing agency.
Here are some tips to help you avoid what I would consider the 3 biggest mistakes companies make in digital marketing.
Mistake #1: Poor Planning
In the Navy we used to say Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. When it comes to digital marketing this may be the biggest mistake companies make. The lack of an organized cohesive strategy will lead to wasted time, money and opportunity. Before you invest real dollars towardyour digital marketing efforts you should have the following planned out.
The plan is the key component to your marketing foundation and without it your chances of success are very limited.
Mistake #2: Unrealistic Expectations
While running a digital marketing agency, we see companies of all shapes, sizes, and budgets. And it never fails, whether the company is spending $5,000 a month or $500,000 a month on their digital marketing efforts they all have the same expectations of immediate results. In most instances the ink isnt even dry on the contract and our phones and emails are going crazy with questions like Why arent we on page 1 for Google already or Why isnt our Pay Per Click campaign hitting its Cost Per Acquisition goal? Even when expectations have been clearly set. Or so you thought. The idea that digital equals instant results is one of the biggest misconceptions, especially for companies newer to this practice. The fact is, even digital campaigns take time to be developed, optimized, and improved to where you are seeing the results you are hoping for.

HONG KONG-- Alibaba Group Holding said Wednesday it has bought a controlling stake in a Chinese Internet marketing firm in a move aimed at expanding its advertising business.
The e-commerce giant said its investment in AdChina, an online advertising firm, makes Alibaba a majority shareholder in the company. Alibaba didn't disclose the size of the investment it would take in Shanghai-based AdChina.
AdChina will work with Alibaba's online marketing technology platform, Alimama, to develop a digital platform that provides marketing services to businesses, online media clients and third-party service providers, Alibaba said in a statement.
Advertising accounts for more than half of Alibaba's revenue, according to estimates by iResearch.
Alibaba raised $25 billion in the largest initial public offering in history when it went public on the New York Stock Exchange in September. A major challenge the e-commerce giant faces is finding ways to shift its lucrative advertising platform to mobile apps from personal-computer websites.
Alibaba's advertising business involves selling search-linked ads. Merchants selling their products on Alibaba's Taobao marketplace, for example, would participate in auctions of search keywords--in a similar way to spending on Google's search-linked advertisements. It also charges for other ad spaces on its e-commerce platforms' home pages.
In 2010, investors led by Norwest Venture Partners and including News Corp, publisher of Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall Street Journal, backed AdChina with $40 million.
