Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) December 16, 2014 -- Business professionals in all industries and sectors are on the hunt for the latest marketing tips and tricks to help boost business, generate leads and conversions. In Toronto they converge at Donate & Learn business events created by Green Lotus, a renowned online marketing agency.
At the December 2, 2014 Donate & Learn event, sponsored by Constant Contact, KA Media and the Canadian Association of Marketing Professionals, hundreds of Toronto entrepreneurs and business professionals joined to learn about the latest trends in online marketing, email marketing and search engine optimization.
Top 5 takeaways from Donate & Learn Keynote Speakers:
1. Email Marketing Matters
Almost all professionals and businesses include email marketing in their overall marketing strategy, and most recognize email marketing as the most effective tool to generate leads and conversions.
2. Have a Specific Call-To-Action
Whether it is emails or other marketing channels, including social media, it is vital to have a clear call-to-action. Be specific and keep it simple. Provide one clear action for your audience to perform, and make it obvious.
3. Have a Clear Online Presence
Start with a solid website foundation, and stay on top of website development to ensure that there are no ‘red flags’ including broken links, missing meta descriptions and tags, and an XML sitemap (which is used by search engines to classify websites).
4. Optimize for Search Engines
Search engine optimization is crucial for any business. Optimize for specific keywords and relevant locations to improve ranking on search engines and improve visibility online.
5. Spy on Competitors
Research the keywords and backlinks of competitors that rank well on search engines. Conduct an analysis to understand how and why competitors are succeeding in the online race. Implement changes in keywords, and increase the number of backlinks to your website.
