Strategy definition

IBT helps you plan your effective and impacting online communication.

Before an effective web presence can be created, your organisation’s online strategy needs to be defined: what are your needs, what are your goals, what message do you want to get across, and who is your audience? IBT partners has the expertise to help you through this stage.

On-line marketing

IBT Partners designs a referencing and marketing plan based on your content and keywords to keep your website always visible and easy to find.

Having an effective online marketing strategy is the difference between your website being an expensive online brochure, and it being a source of steady relevant traffic that engages with your brand and converts into income and profits.

Immediate visibility and measurable responses make these an important part of an overall plan; as long as you keep in mind their benefits are short term.

Medium and long term strategies should include elements of email marketing, organic search, and social media marketing. These are more labour intensive, but the payoff is a steady stream of relevant traffic that will continue to produce results in the long term.

Social media marketing

IBT Partners helps you identify and manage your social media presence to support your development

Social media has become a necessary part of on-line marketing strategy providing opportunities to create relationships and interact with web users on a real time basis.

There is a world of social media opportunities out there for your organisation, including Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, social bookmarking, presentation sharing and Wikipedia, amongst others, where you can market your organisation and connect with your clients.

IBT Partners will help you choose the right social media appropriate to your organisation's structure and strategy. We will guide you on how to use social media to build your brand awareness, link customer service to your on-line reputation, develop your organisation by connecting you to your clients, and advise you on how to become a thought leader.

Additionally, we can also manage your social media presence on your behalf for marketing or client prospection purposes in order to generate new leads.

Webinars

IBT Partners helps you to efficiently communicate with a wider audience

Webinar is a modern solution for organising seminars for various group sizes across geographical borders, minimising the costs for both the host and attendees. We will help you with all phases of your webinar organisation, including publicising of the event, identification and prospection of attendees, contacting them and sending out invitations, preparation of the webinar agenda, recording of the webinar and its publication on your website, as well as follow up of attendees.

Web analytics

IBT Partners helps you analyse your website traffic to keep it efficient and relevant.

Visitor tracking and analysis is crucial to measure return-on-investment and for the ongoing improvement of your website as a business and communications tool. It helps you to see how users find your site, how they use it, and where they leave. The minimum information that you should have is:

  •   How many unique visitors are finding your website?
  •   What keywords are they using to find your site?
  •   Where they are coming from: search engines, other sites, email marketing?
  •   What are the most popular and least popular pages?

When analysed correctly, this data provides ‘actionable insights’ that can be used to boost marketing and business development. Most analytics packages are now focusing on real-time tracking and graphical representations of visitor data. We can show you how to make the most of your analytics tools, from click path analysis to long tail search queries for search engine optimisation.
