Here is a good YouTube video that I found that talks about how internet marketing professionals dress:

With internet marketing - he says there really is no dress code mainly because you are not client facing and no one is really meeting you. However, this completely changes if you are meeting with potential clients. You want to always dress appropriately for your customer because first impressions are very crucial.
I can't stress how important your appearance is because it tells a lot about a person (though people may sometimes disagree). The first time I think is very important to gaining or losing a client. Not necessarily am I saying to wear a suit to meet you client because this can sometimes go the other way around and scare them off because they'll think you're too "posh" for their business. However, say you are doing internet marketing and you are meeting a potential client - I would suggest wearing the following:
Slacks, Button down shirt. Here are some images that will show you what is good and what is overboard:
- this is a good choice depending on who your clients are (big firms, etc.)
- this means some serious business (dress like this if you're making a big deal with a large company)
- this is very appropriate and would recommend this to be safe.
- I would only advise this if you know exactly who your client is and they are okay with being a little bit more casual.

More than anything, common sense is the most important tool. Depending on how important is your meeting, or how big is the deal, more formal dressing will be required, like you said.
ReplyDeletein my current job, I am not required to dress formally on a daily basis, but I try to keep jeans use to a minimum. And, although we are not required to do it, when a client or someone from corporate in Germany is around, I try to avoid a suit as much as I can, but alaways wear a tie.
