What Is Digital Marketing?
We know what you might be thinking. What exactly is digital marketing? Digital marketing breaks down into the “five Ds”: digital devices, digital platforms, digital media, digital data, and digital technology. Essentially digital marketing consists of what, where, when, and how users consume digital technologies and media. A solid digital marketing strategy will help your company succinctly hit all these critical points in an engaging way. A consistent digital marketing strategy will:
- Establish your propane brand’s core message
- Make your propane services easy to find
- Boost your brand recognition among your audience & fuel delivery customers
Create a Successful Digital Marketing Strategy with These 4 Elements
Website and SEO
Your website is the hub of your propane delivery company’s digital presence and makes the first impression of your brand every time a user visits. In fact, it takes about 50 milliseconds (That’s 0.05 seconds!) for users to form an opinion about your website and determine whether they like it enough to stay.[1] Use engaging design elements that coincide with your brand message. Make sure your website is mobile responsive so that users on all devices can experience and navigate it easily. Eighty-five percent of adults think viewing a company’s website on a mobile device should be as good or better than its desktop experience.[2] To learn more about our website services, click here!
Pay Per Click
Strategic pay-per-click marketing can help you target your customer base with precision, experience immediate exposure, and increase your profits as a propane fuel provider. Plus, the main benefit is hidden in the name: you only pay for website visits you receive, hence “pay per click.” If people see your ad but don’t click on it, you’re still benefiting from brand awareness while the exposure doesn’t cost you a cent.

Today, social media users are buying more than ever before. Curalate found that 76% of U.S. consumers have purchased a product they’ve seen in a brand’s social media post.[3] A consistent social media presence is essential for growing your audience, gathering customer reviews, and showing the more personal side of your core message.
