The time for South African businesses to advertise online is now

If your business is not advertising online, or has not adopted a digital-first approach to marketing, the time to change is now.

This was the message from Google’s Marketing Insights team, who recently published a report on why companies need to digitally transform.

While online advertising has been growing rapidly in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this process.

The reasons for this are easy to understand:

• People are spending more time online: learning, reading news, shopping, and watching series and movies.
• Remote working is here in full force, and may businesses plan to make “working from home” a permanent option for employees.
• Strong digital marketing can boost a company’s revenue and lower costs.

In South Africa specifically, Nielsen’s Media ROI Benchmarks report showed that digital advertising gives companies the best return on investment when compared to TV, Print, Cinema, Radio, and Billboard/Outdoor advertising channels.
