This includes analyzing what resources you have on hand and how they can be utilized, what your current market is like; both your target audience as well as what your competitors are doing.  \nAfter doing your due diligence, it is imperative to determine what you want to achieve with your digital presence and how to go about executing it. The first step is to define what exactly a digital strategy is. It refers to a business’s overall game plan to attract potential clientele by effectively communicating the benefits of their business via a digital platform. With that goal in mind, the next step is to outline what objectives need to be completed to achieve this and what tactics will be utilized to execute on this plan. This section will outline just how to do your research and how to design a digital strategy using that data to maximize your business’s potential.  \nAssess Current Assets  \nThe first step here is to assess what you have on hand and how effective it is currently. A good practice is to standardize your assessment by using a SWOT analysis (see below) .  \nDigital presence Improvement Guide  \nOpportunities (External; Positive)  \nThreats  \n(External; Negative)  \nWeaknesses (Internal; Positive)  \nWeaknesses (Internal; Negative)  \nStrengths-OpportunitiesTactics How can you leverage your business’s strengths to maximize future opportunities?  \nWeaknesses-Opportunities Tactics How can you leverage potential opportunities to minimize your business’s shortcomings?  \nStrengths-Threats Tactics  \nHow can you leverage your business’s strengths to minimize the impact on potential threats?  \nWeaknesses-Threats Tactics  \nHow can you minimize your business’s shortcomings to mitigate potential threats?  \n4  \nSWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) is a method of analysis that allows you to evaluate both internal and external factors that can affect your business’s growth in a positive or negative manner.  \n Strengths  \nYou want to highlight what your business is doing well.
