2. What is Digital Marketing? When it comes down to it, digital marketing is still just marketing. It's the way today's businesses get their message in front of their most qualified customers and potential clients. Digital marketing, also referred to as internet marketing, is the delivery of advertising via digital channels to promote brands and connect potential customers via the internet and other forms of digital communication such as: • Search engines • Websites • Social media • Email • Mobile apps • Text messaging • Web-based advertising
3. In a nutshell, digital marketing is any marketing campaign that uses any of the above online media channels. Today's consumers rely heavily on digital means to conduct product research. According to HubSpot Research, 77% of customers conduct online research on a brand before engaging with it. Meanwhile, 51% of consumers say they use Google to do product research before purchasing.
4. How does digital marketing work? Digital marketing utilises a variety of strategies to reach customers, whether the goal is to persuade them to make a purchase, raise brand awareness, or simply engage with your brand. Modern digital marketing consists of a complex network of channels, including: • Social media • Content marketing • Website marketing • SEO (search engine optimization) • PPC (pay per click) advertising
5. To realise the full potential of digital marketing, marketers must dig deep into today's vast and intricate cross- channel world to discover engagement marketing tactics that work. Engagement marketing is the process of developing meaningful interactions with potential and repeat customers based on data gathered over time. By engaging customers in a digital landscape, you boost brand awareness, create yourself as a thought leader, and position your company at the forefront when the customer is ready to buy.
6. Why is digital marketing important? Marketers can collect valuable data into target audience behaviours while also opening the door to new methods of customer engagement by implementing a customer experience digital marketing strategy. Companies can also expect an increase in retention. According to an Invesp report, companies with strong omnichannel customer engagement strategies keep 89% of their customers. In comparison, companies with poor omnichannel programmes have a 33% retention rate. Digital marketing is still evolving. For example, the growing number of wearable devices available to consumers opens up new avenues for marketing to them.
7. The differences between B2B and B2C marketing. You've almost certainly heard of B2B and B2C, but do you understand the distinctions? Because B2B refers to business-to-business and B2C refers to business-to-consumer, your marketing efforts must be tailored to each audience. Language and communication B2B marketing is concerned with directly contacting and trading with other businesses, whereas B2C marketing is concerned with marketing to consumers and customers. For example, in B2B marketing, you're more likely to focus on messaging to educate potential customers, using professional language and industry terms — you can be formal and direct. The focus of B2C marketing may be on enticing customers, creating brand awareness, and telling a story.
8. Decision-making. Another significant distinction is the decision-making process. With B2C, the customer can make a quick decision to purchase from you. Of course, your digital marketing strategy must first earn their trust. However, when it comes to retailing items like clothing or kitchen gadgets, one person is frequently the sole decision-maker. When it comes to bigger ticket items like vacations, things can get a little more complicated. However, the purchasing process is shorter and less complicated. With B2B marketing, a company may have to persuade multiple stakeholders — for example, you could be selling building materials directly to large construction companies while competing with similar providers. Finally, knowing your target customers and tailoring your marketing to them is critical.
9. The benefits of digital marketing. Digital marketing can help you get to know your audience, learning important information about them, and offering metrics that will lend credibility to your marketing team. The following are a few of the benefits of using digital marketing: 1. You would become acquainted with your audience. Digital marketing is an outstanding way to get to know and establish relationships with your target audience. You can check offers and texts and learn when people are most likely to visit your website. If you have a social media strategy, which you should, you can develop relationships with them more quickly and easily. When you pay close attention to your audience, you will gain credibility that will set you apart from the competition.
10. 2. The price is reasonable. Digital marketing is less expensive than traditional marketing strategies. Less expenses are incurred. Using one of the many templated systems or spending more for a custom design, you can create a polished, professional website for a fair price. You can collaborate with an email newsletter provider for a reasonable cost and create social media accounts for free. Digital marketing is appropriate for even the smallest businesses due to its relative affordability. 3. Anyone, anywhere can be marketed to. Your potential audience with digital marketing is enormous. In multiple time zones, you can communicate with clients just as easily as if you were placing an advertisement in your neighbourhood paper (easier, in fact).
11. 4. Digital marketing can be modified. You can be quick, adaptable, and nimble in your approach when using digital marketing. Try out alternative strategies, evaluate the results, and try something new the following month—or week. Don't wait weeks to see the results of a campaign; get access to real-time data to help guide your business decisions. 5. Channel personalization is an option. For your marketing to reach customers where they are at that precise moment, cross-channel functionality from teams with diverse skill sets is required. For instance, the audiences and expectations on each social media platform vary, so marketing may look different on each. This covers your post's tone, imagery, offers, and scheduling.
12. 6. Setting KPIs and analysing campaigns are options. The effectiveness of your marketing can be assessed using a wide range of metrics supported by digital marketing. Setting your goals and preferred metrics for each channel must come first. You can monitor the number of leads and conversions, website visits, and much more, giving you a wealth of useful information to advance your company.
