Hi, Business Owner!
Do you run a small shop?
Are you a home baker, a saree seller, a mechanic, a tutor, or someone trying to grow your business in Chennai?
If yes, this blog is just for you.
My name is Jagadishan Durairajan, and I’m an Affordable Branding Freelancer in Chennai. I help small businesses look professional, grow online, and attract more customers with simple digital marketing tricks.
Let me explain in easy words why digital marketing is not only important in 2025, it’s super necessary.
What Is Digital Marketing?
Digital marketing refers to utilizing the internet to promote your business to potential customers.
Like this:
- You post about your cake on Instagram
- You run a Google ad for your tailoring shop
- You share your business card on WhatsApp
- You get your business listed on Google Maps
Yes, all of that is digital marketing!
In short:
“If your customer is online, your business should be there too.”
Why Is It So Important in 2025?
Let’s keep it real. Here’s why digital marketing matters more than ever:
1. Everyone is Online!
- Over 92% of Indians use smartphones
- Most people spend 5–6 hours daily on their phones
- Even grandma watches WhatsApp videos now
If your business is not online, people will not know you exist.
2. It’s Very Affordable
- ₹500 flyer? Maybe 20 people read it.
- ₹500 Instagram ad? Can reach 2,000–5,000 people.
Digital marketing is cheaper than old-school marketing.
And the best part? You can start small.
3. People Search Before Buying
Customers search for things like:
- “Best tiffin center near me”
- “Affordable branding freelancer in Chennai”
- “Logo designer in Saidapet”
If you’re not on Google, they’ll never find you.
Your competitor might get your customer!
4. Build Trust Easily
When people see:
- A clean logo
- A website
- Reviews
- Social media posts
They trust you more.
Even a small tea shop can look big online.
5. Learn What Works
Digital marketing shows you:
- Who clicked your post
- Who visited your website
- What time did they visit
This helps you make smart decisions.
A True Story from Chennai
One tea shop owner in Saidapet came to me. He had:
- No logo
- No online listing
- No customers
I helped him with:
✅ Logo
✅ Poster
✅ Google My Business listing
✅ Instagram setup
Within 2 weeks, his daily customers went from 10 to 40.
That’s the power of digital branding. And yes, all this was done under ₹2,999.
How Can You Start?
Don’t worry. You don’t need lakhs or a big team.
Here’s a small business starter plan:
1. Get Your Branding Done
Start with:
- Logo
- Business Card
- Poster
- Color theme
- Font selection
I offer all this starting at ₹999.
2. Set Up Google My Business
- Add your shop on Google Maps
- Add your photos
- Ask happy customers to leave a review
It’s free and works like magic.
3. Be Active on Instagram & Facebook
- Post about your offers, work, and happy clients
- Use trending and location hashtags Example: #ChennaiSweets #TiruvanmiyurSnacks
4. Run Simple Ads (Even ₹500/month)
You can say:
“Show my ad only to people in KK Nagar who love fashion.”
Boom! Perfect targeting.
5. Build a Simple Website
Even a 1-page website builds trust.
Add your logo, services, phone number, and reviews.
