Initial Market and Target Location Review
The first thing you should do before starting to implement your digital marketing strategy is to define what your primary target market locations are because if you are targeting specific and multiple countries in Asia then you may need to prioritise different channels and marketing platforms in different countries.
For example, in Indonesia Instagram should be prioritised over Facebook for B2C targeting and also over LinkedIn for B2B targeting.
The map below will help you to define what platforms you should look to prioritise depending on what countries in Asia you are looking to target.
Defining your B2B and/or B2C Audience
As well as defining your target countries, you should also define which platforms are most relevant to your business model on a B2C and/or B2B level in your target countries.
Do Your Research Before Implementing Your Strategy
It’s important you do your research regarding the usage of key marketing platforms in each country. One very useful report that provides the insights you need to help prioritize channels and countries is the annual Digital Global Overview Reports that has been compiled by WeAreSocial and Hootsuite over the past few years.
Another useful tool to use is http://gs.statcounter.com/ where you can compare key digital marketing factors such as search engine share, social media platform share and mobile device share by country.
