Introduction of Digital Marketing
Digital marketing is an umbrella term for
the marketing of products or services using digital
technologies, mainly on the Internet, but also including
mobile phones, display advertising, and any other digital
medium.
Digital marketing is the promotion of products or brands
via one or more forms of electronic media and differs
from traditional marketing in that it involves the use of
channels and methods that enable an organization to
analyze marketing campaigns and understand what is
working and what isn’t – typically in real time.
History of Digital Marketing
The term digital marketing was first used in the
1990s, but digital marketing has roots in the mid-1980s,
when the SoftAd Group, now ChannelNet, developed
advertising campaigns for automobile companies,
Digital marketing became more sophisticated in the
2000s and the 2010
Digital media growth is estimated at 4.5 trillion online
ads served annually with digital media spend at 48%
growth in 2010.
Why Digital Marketing Is Important
Digital media is so pervasive that consumers have access
to information any time and any place they want it. Gone
are the days when the messages people got about your
products or services came from you and consisted of only
what you wanted them to know. Digital media is an ever-
growing source of entertainment, news, shopping and
social interaction, and consumers are now exposed not
just to what your company says about your brand, but
what the media, friends, relatives, peers, etc., are saying
as well. And they are more likely to believe them than
you. People want brands they can trust, companies that
know them, communications that are personalized and
relevant, and offers tailored to their needs and
preferences.

Digital Marketing Advantage
Use content to connect to consumers online
According to NewsCred, 72 percent of marketers think branded content
is more effective than advertising in a magazine, and 69 percent say it is
superior to direct mail and PR. Maintaining a dominant online presence
is crucial to both customer convenience and marketing success.
Track customers from the first interaction and throughout the entire
buyer's journey
With analytics for digital marketing, you can track a potential
customer's actions, decisions and preferences, so you have true insight
into your audience's behavior.
Optimize for conversion
The ability to track a customer's journey beginning at the first click
allows you to test and optimize your website for conversion on an
ongoing basis.
Mobile Connect with customers
Having a dominant online presence that is optimized for smartphone
and tablet users can influence buying behavior. 82 percent of mobile
searchers use their phones to check on prospective in-store purchases,
and 65% look for the most relevant information to their queries. 33
percent of mobile users have purchased from a different brand than
the one they had in mind because of the information listed.
Realize higher ROI and revenue
Increasing your digital outreach is a more predictable way of increasing
your revenue than traditional marketing methods. Additionally, digital
marketing provides you with real data, and predicting and realizing ROI
is much easier done with real data in hand.
Analyze and adapt easily
Because digital marketing provides real, timely data, you can observe
and adapt to trends and the actions that real people are taking. You
don't have to rely on a sample data set or make some educated guesses
— plan, execute, and adapt on the go based on true performance data.
Become more competitive
Digital marketing is how businesses are working now, and will continue
to work in the future. If your business is not already in the digital
marketing game, then you're behind. Ensure your business is
competitive by employing a smart digital marketing strategy.
Disadvantage of Digital Marketing
Easier to have outdated information on the internet, update timing is a
critical issue here.
There is a lot of competition in the market and by the time visitor
reaches the product they have already gone through many links and got
the required product. Unless they find what they are looking for
quickly.
There are many pros and cons of internet marketing. It’s important to
consider each when creating an internet marketing strategy.
