Internet marketing tools have long been part of the online sales strategy of many successful companies. Their main advantage is efficiency even with a small investment. Hence, if your business is going through hard times, it makes sense to turn to online marketing. This will allow not only to stay “afloat”, but to increase sales on the Internet, which will accordingly affect the improvement of profitability.
To increase sales on the Internet, there can be a variety of ways, for example, launching contests, challenges and setting temporary discounts. In addition, videos showing your product can come to the rescue. An important aspect is also the use of various third-party resources to promote the product to the masses, for example, social networks.
Why do online marketing techniques work even in times of crisis? Firstly, due to the much larger coverage of the target audience. Customers come to an offline store from a district or from all over the city (at best), while the customers of an online store can be residents of any corner of the country. Secondly, the number of Internet users is growing steadily, which means that you will never lack customers.
How the crisis manifests itself in business:
Real income among the population is declining
Decreased purchasing power
Demand for many types of goods / services is decreasing
Sales level drops sharply
Profit decreases exponentially
In such a situation, it is recommended:
to reduce the staff;
stimulate sales with promotions and effective online advertising;
reduce costs for offline promotion.

If you are a successful offline entrepreneur and you have your own website, but it is not in great demand, you can improve your financial situation by focusing on the development and promotion of the web resource. Optimizing the web portal and promoting it in the Google and Yandex search engines will bring undeniable benefits:
reducing the cost of attracting new customers;
inflow of a large number of interested users to the website;
high chances of repeat sales;
the possibility of feedback;
increasing awareness and increasing trust.
The more visitors come to your web resource, the greater the likelihood of conversion actions - a call, order, purchase, subscription, etc.

If you are an online business owner, then search engine promotion alone may not be enough to improve your financial situation. The e-commerce will also benefit from ways to increase online sales, such as:
Contextual advertising. An excellent solution when you need an instant result. With its help, you can increase traffic and sales by 30% or more in a short time.
Internal optimization. Sometimes the reason for the low purchase rate lies in the usability of the website. Having improved it, you can increase the number of applications without even resorting to advertising. And all because it will be convenient for visitors to interact with the information presented. This way of selling on the Internet depends to a large extent on the constant support and maintenance carried out on your website.
SMM. If your profitability has decreased due to the fact that the competitors' sites have become more popular and in demand, promotion on social networks will help in this situation. Your portal will be able to “grow” a community of like-minded people, earn reputation and trust, as well as confidently strengthen its position in the eCommerce market.
