Digital Marketing Mauritius: Strategies 2018

Mobile influences marketing strategies

Adissa Akanni (Verisure, Securitas Direct) insists on the victory of the mobile against the desktop. “The” Mobile Moment “remains one of the highlights of the last few months. This inversion in the relationship between mobile and computer will further accentuate the development of AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) formats. This global trend, highlighted in the 2017 Consumer Barometer, influences all marketing strategies. The contents offered on the sites and platforms adapt, companies must design customer experiences taking into account the properties of smartphones.

The decline of natural reach on social networks

Social networks will not die in 2018, but their role is changing little by little. Like many professionals in the sector, Diana Fellous (dermatological laboratories of Uriage), noticed the decline of the natural reach on Facebook. The social network state considered by the brands as “a real playground since 2008-2009” but “it is positioned more and more like a media, and therefore to be visible it is necessary to pay. You have to be there, but you have to have a media budget to give visibility to the content. ” Patrycja Mothon (Pandora) joins her and appreciates the effectiveness of dynamic advertising on Facebook (DPA, Dynamic Product Ads).

For Elodie Ragot (Xylem), the role of social media in terms of targets should be separated to formulate effective strategies. “The big digital trends are centered around social media in a role of lead generation for B2B and increased sales for B2C”.

On social media trends, we advise you to read this excellent analysis, published by Buffer earlier this week. We note that social networks (in their organic form) are becoming less and less like traffic acquisition channels.

Web Design Mauritius in 2017

Web design is halfway between form and functionality. It is therefore logical that new trends are largely influenced by technology, be it devices, operating systems, browsers or program libraries available on the market. But the recent aspirations of today’s graphic designers go even further, they also influence the very principles and philosophies of design. Recent years have been marked by unprecedented technological advances, including:

The democratization of mobile phones

The appearance of integrated dynamic 3D interface (via WebGL) The adoption of HTML5, CSS3 and the rise of JavaScript frameworks. As well as the increase of the speed of internet download (on computer as on mobile).

Together, these technological advances have created a real turning point in the history of web design, particularly with the emergence of adaptive sites (“responsive” in English) and more generally, mobile oriented designs.

In terms of aesthetics, we cannot ignore the supreme reign of flat design, three years ago. Then it was Google’s turn to introduce Material Design to push us further towards abstract design. In 2017, we have seen that the trends bring us a little closer to reality: 2017 has been the year of hybrids, in forms as well as in colors or functionality, where technology and reality come together to create experience so far unequaled.

Without further ado, here are the 3 trends that we believe have wreaked havoc this year:

How to write good content for your website?

To be more precise, your content must be relevant, digestible, interesting and memorable, identifiable by the search engines. And they must be kept up to date. And if your content is good, why reserve your talent to your website?

Relevant and digestible

When you write a text, strive to think like your readers. Address your visitors, your customers. Use specific terms. Go straight to the point in your texts and descriptions. What works best is necessarily short. Avoid any entrepreneurial jargon, talk like your customers would. Otherwise, they may never come to your site. And if they succeed in falling on them, they will not understand much of it, and will go to other heavens.

People do not read websites, they scan the screen until something catches their attention. If there is too much text to inspect, or if they do not find anything they expected, they move on to something else. Split your texts. Make short sentences and small paragraphs.

Choose your titles carefully. Do not say too much, or too little, it is the rule. And give care to the language you use, it’s important: If your site is for children, say “How to make paper flowers”, if it is addressed to specialists say: “Model for Origami: Pink “.

Use illustrations. A picture is worth a thousand words. If possible, replace some paragraphs with a photo or video.

Web Mauritius: Social Media Trends

Instagram is the second largest social network after Facebook. However, its operation is quite different from this one. So here are some tips s to improve your audience on Instagram.

Publish more images on Instagram

The image is the very basis of the social network and it must therefore be worked accordingly.

Images published on Instagram must be of good quality. However, they do not have to be taken with a high-end camera. The quality of photos taken by smart phones is currently largely enough to provide beautiful shots for the web.

To get an interesting picture, here are some tips:

  • Have a common thread. Determine the theme and tone to use on your Instagram account.
  • Think of lighting when you take pictures and enjoy the natural daylight. Use few filters or lower their intensity.
  • Think of the composition of the image and the framing. Do several tests and test several angles to get the best result.
  • Do not overload the image! Concentrate on a point of interest or contrast. Let it breathe by not trying to occupy all the space.
  • Publish regularly! If you lack imagination, here are more content ideas to animate your Instagram account
  • Get a tripod to stabilize the photo taking.
  • Practice a lot, publish little. Choose only the best photos.
  • Make more videos!

SEO Mauritius: How to get position 0 on Google?

What’s better than taking first place on Google? Occupy position 0 of course! Position 0 corresponds to the information box that sometimes appears before the natural results for some queries. It offers a lot of visibility and attracts a lot of attention from the internet users. Here’s how to get position 0 on Google:

  1. Understanding Position 0

First, you need to know exactly what position 0 is. This Google content is called Answer Box or Featured snippet.

The Answer Box, as its name suggests, is an excerpt of a website’s content presented in a box that precedes natural results. This famous position 0 may include several types of information. Generally speaking, the extract from the site will normally serve to answer a question of the Internet user.

It gives a lot of visibility and credibility to the website and is therefore very popular with SEOs.

It is true that an important part of the Answer Box of position 0 contains information from Wikipedia. However, it is also possible for small sites to appear there.

  1. Analyze results to find opportunities

Not all results pages have an Answer Box in position 0. So, you must first identify the opportunities. Perform tests with your keywords to find Answer Boxes in which you might appear. Formulate questions in your queries that can help find them. Also pay attention to Google’s suggestions.

What is Search Engine Optimization?

Basically, Search Engine Optimization or simply SEO is all about helping websites rank higher on the organic (or “natural) search results of search engines.

The higher the site ranks, the more visitors and hence the more customers you will get!

Search Engine optimization is the art of building a website in such a way so as to please both the customer and the search engine.

Why do we need Search Engine Optimization?

We live in an internet era in which consumers can tune through the surfeit of information. As matter of fact, 92% internet users use search engines on which a stunning amount of 100 Billion web searches are being carried out every month and 78 % buyers use search engines before buying their products.

Being visible on the internet will have no other effects than increasing your sales and hence your revenues.

Having good content, information, architecture, content management system and website infrastructure are ways of generating traffic on your website.

This is what exactly Search Engine Optimization is about.

10 Top Social Media Sites

Here is fresh top 10 social networking sites’ market share data in US. It has some interesting changes.

Moving up

Youtube has jumped to its highest level ever. Seems that people are watching more and more clips and that brings the video site to 24.15 percent market share of visits. LinkedIn is another site that has reached its highest market share of visits. I

t has grown from low 0.63% in December 2012 to a record high 0.89 percent last month. LinkedIn moved to 6th position in the top 10 overtaking Google+. April and May are the active business months that may help the business social network to grow its market share even more.

Tumblr is also at its highest market share of visits, reaching 0.42 percent in March 2013.

Moving down

Facebook has fallen to its lowest market share of visits in almost 3 years. Facebook continues to be the dominant social networking site but the loss of 3% of market share means 100 million visits.

Twitter is down, too. It has fallen to 1.72 percent of market share of visits. This is the lowest number in 12 months and the trend-line seems to point down.

Pinterest is slightly down. It has moved from 1.17% in February to 1.14% in March. Although a down this level seems to be stable for the pinning site. It is hard to say what’s behind the declining numbers if the leading social networking sites.

My guess is that one factor that brins down the numbers is the fact that usage through mobile apps is not tracked. The other factor may be that the market is saturated and people are less active when using these sites. This does not mean that they stop using social networking sites but there’s less “excitement” that translates to less frequent usage.

Instagram is back in top 10. Yahoo Answers continues to inch up. Google+ is moving sideways.
