Marketing has changed. It used to be that you could post an ad in the phone book once a year, and customers would call or find you. Today, things are a lot more competitive. Paper phone books are long gone, and in the digital age, businesses in Vancouver face fierce competition for online visibility. To stand out and make it easy for customers or clients to find you, an ongoing digital marketing approach is essential. And the emphasis is ongoing. If you just blast your marketing for one week, or even one month or even three months of the year, it’s really not enough—not when your competitors are likely investing in their marketing 12 months of the year. A monthly digital marketing plan can be the game-changer that fosters growth, boosts engagement, and solidifies a strong online presence.

Why Ongoing Marketing Efforts Matter

Digital marketing is not a one-time effort. Imagine planting a tree and expecting it to flourish without water or care. Online marketing works the same way—it needs consistent nurturing. Stopping all marketing activities—like social media posts or blog updates—can severely impact your SEO, leave your business irrelevant on social media, and cause your audience to lose interest. This can undo the hard work you’ve put into building your brand’s presence.

We’ve seen this happen firsthand. In 2024, one of our clients hired us for a few months but significantly slowed their posting after we parted ways. In the four months after leaving us, their social media presence declined, and they lost 3,600 Instagram followers—a 16.8% decrease. It’s possible their audience grew bored, frustrated, or disengaged due to infrequent or poorly executed posts. Without consistent posts, audience engagement, giveaways, or fresh content, their online momentum faltered, and their brand presence suffered.

Some Vancouver businesses attempt to handle social media on their own, but the results often look unprofessional. Overuse of low-quality graphics, sporadic posting schedules, or endlessly reusing the same content creates a lackluster presence that drives low engagement and weakens the brand. A professional, ongoing strategy ensures your content is cohesive, professional, and impactful—keeping your audience engaged and your business growing.

The Cost Of Inconsistency

When businesses stop posting or rely on sporadic efforts, they face several challenges:

Loss of Audience Trust: Customers value consistency, and a neglected social account suggests a lack of professionalism or care.
Declining Engagement: Algorithms prioritize active, engaging accounts, making it harder for inconsistent accounts to be seen.
Missed Opportunities: Regular posts provide touchpoints to showcase your products, share testimonials, and build brand awareness.

These challenges can directly impact your business’s reputation and ability to grow. By committing to a monthly digital marketing plan, you keep your brand in front of your audience, maintain trust, and ensure continued engagement.
