What is a marketing strategy?
Marketing is an indispensable part of any successful business. However, you cannot simply set about it haphazardly: a marketing strategy is vital for every business.
In an online strategy, we answer questions such as: “Who is your target audience?” and “What are the current trends in your sector?”. By researching these issues, we can decide which marketing techniques are best suited to your business. In this way, we create a successful marketing strategy for all our clients.

Why is an online strategy important for your business?
An online strategy forms the basis of all the marketing activities your company undertakes. There are many different services that fall under this umbrella, such as link building, SEO & SEA, social media or marketing secondment. All these services will deliver different results for your business, but they must also all be deployed in different ways. Before you utilise a particular service, it is important to know exactly what that service is best suited for. Furthermore, not every marketing service is relevant to your objectives. By establishing a clear strategy, you ensure that you know why you are using a particular service, and also what results you can expect from it. This means you can take a much more targeted approach.
It can be challenging to successfully implement a marketing strategy. As a performance marketing agency, we’re happy to help you with this. Our strategists are able to draw up a targeted online strategy for your business, taking into account not only your general requirements and objectives, but also your market position, the behaviour of your competitors and the needs of your customers.
Types of marketing strategy
There are various types of marketing strategy you can employ. We’d be happy to outline them for you. The marketing strategy you choose depends on how you wish to position yourself in relation to your customers, as well as on your company’s objectives. We’d be delighted to help you successfully determine the right strategy for you!
Portfolio
You focus on your own product range: which products to sell and which not to?
Loyalty
The client comes first! You’ll do everything you can to build a strong relationship with your existing clients, ensuring that their next purchase will also be with you.
Brand positioning
It is not your product or service that takes centre stage, but you yourself. This means you focus strongly on building relationships.
Direct
Communication with the client is direct. Here, too, loyalty is a key priority.
Based on competition
You don’t just look at yourself, but also at the behaviour of your competitors. By responding to this, you put yourself in a unique position.
Functional
This online strategy focuses on the marketing mix: Product, Price, Distribution and Promotion.
Digital
The agency utilises various forms of digital marketing, such as search engine optimisation and advertising, as well as email marketing and content optimisation.
Segmentation
You will focus on the various segments of the market and choose your own market segment within this.
Content marketing
Your strategy focuses on creating content, both digital and offline.
An effective marketing strategy
You now know why a marketing strategy is an essential part of your business, but you’re not yet sure how to ensure it’s implemented effectively. At Traffic Today , we achieve this by working according to the SMART method. This enables us to take a targeted approach and ensures that clear objectives are set for your marketing strategy. If we notice that the desired results aren’t being achieved, we’ll be flexible and adapt your marketing strategy accordingly.
To ensure you work effectively, your marketing strategy can be divided into three levels:
- Basic: At the basic level, we examine the core of your marketing strategy: where are you currently and where do you want to go? Specific goals are set, and we assess which models your marketing strategy will be based on.
- Direction: Once your online strategy has been in place for a while, you can steer it in a more direct direction. The first results of your strategy are now becoming apparent, and you can, of course, build on these. If you notice that things are already heading in the right direction, you can strengthen your strategy, but if this is not yet the case, you can also choose to adjust certain elements. Flexibility is essential at this stage of your strategy.
- Implementation: At the operational level, you focus primarily on collaborations: who is all involved in helping to achieve a particular result? This enables you to actually determine the outcome of a process for your own company.
Marketing strategy as part of your marketing plan
A common misconception among many companies is that a marketing strategy comes at the expense of your overall marketing plan. This is by no means always the case: we actually implement a marketing strategy as part of your marketing plan. First, we define the strategy, and we then build the plan around it.
To define your online strategy, we carry out various activities. For example:
- Target audience analysis
- Market analysis
- Keyword analysis
- Competitor analysis
Once all these factors have been determined, we can apply them to draw up your marketing plan. We incorporate the concept of your plan into the strategy: your plan, in turn, sets out exactly how you will implement this and who will carry it out. So one really does not have to come at the expense of the other: quite the opposite, in fact.
Tips for developing a marketing strategy
To make your marketing strategy as successful as possible, we’d love to share a few tips with you!
Don’t just focus on your own requirements
When you’re drawing up your strategy, you’re quickly tempted to focus solely on your own wishes. However, it’s also important to be critical and ask yourself whether this is actually the right choice: perhaps you could generate much more turnover by focusing specifically on the client’s wishes.
Don’t be afraid to mix things up
There are many different models available online that can help you develop a successful marketing strategy. This does not mean you have to choose just one model and stick to it. The beauty of marketing lies precisely in creating a successful online strategy by combining different models!
Don’t do everything yourself
As a business, it might be tempting to do everything in-house, but this isn’t always the wisest choice. By actively seeking out collaboration, you’re choosing to multiply your experience and knowledge, which will take you to the next level online!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you maintain a fresh perspective on my marketing strategy?
We maintain a fresh perspective on your marketing strategy because we work in client teams at Traffic Today. Your dedicated performance manager consults extensively with other marketing specialists, each of whom brings their own perspective to the implemented marketing strategy. Based on everyone’s input, we make adjustments to the marketing strategy where necessary.
What makes Traffic Today ’s marketing strategy different from that of other agencies?
Our marketing strategy is truly tailored by a team of specialists, each of whom has their own unique perspective on digital marketing. Furthermore, we only include those services in our sales proposals that we believe will genuinely help you move forward. Traffic Today never uses a fixed template or a ready-made marketing strategy. We genuinely map out a path that we believe is best suited to your business.
How are the results of your marketing strategy measured and analysed?
We use advanced analytics tools and techniques to measure the performance of our marketing strategies, but Google Analytics and the Google Merchant Centre feature heavily in our marketeers’ browser history.
