er business partners. Internet or online marketing is the major component of Digital Marketing. Digital

marketing also uses digital channels to promote products & services to consumers & business. Email

marketing is a marketing method that uses email to send a marketing message to a targeted audience.

Online marketing is a marketing method that uses Internet tools such as email, search engine

optimization and banner ads to send marketing messages to consumers. Mobile marketing is a

marketing method that allows marketers to send marketing messages to consumers through the

technologies found on a consumer’s mobile device. Consumers opt in to receive messages.

She also addressed the students about the difference between Marketing and Digital Marketing and

about Search Engine Optimization. Marketing is the process of communicating to customers the value

of product or services while Digital Marketing is the process of communicating with customers the val-

ue of product or services. Digital Marketing is interactive, iterative, consumer driven and un-

constrained but marketing is broadcast, fixed, message driven and constrained.
