UNDERSTANDING DIGITAL MARKETING

Digital is the promotion of products or brands through digital media.?By using digital marketing methods and channels we can analysis our business marketing campaigns to be able to analysis what is working and what isn’t working in real time. Then the ability to use these channels to engage our audience.

Digital media is everywhere, and your target audience can access information wherever, whenever, and how ever they want it, they are no longer influenced just by what you say about your brand, fact is they are influenced by what others say or what they have seen about your brand online. The reality is that people prefer brands that they can trust, companies that know them, communications that are personalised and relevant. Offers that are tailored to their needs, and preferences. Digital marketing can deliver all of that, though there are 3 main channels that one has to overcome.

Competition is intensifying – this is due to how cost effective digital channels are compared to with traditional media such as print, making them easy to do inhouse within your business.

Exploding data volumes – when your target audience uses a digital channel, they leave behind a massive trail of data, this data is often not integrated with data from other operations and business activities, resulting in businesses finding it hard to get the right data to make strategic and tactical decisions.
