Digital Marketing

The term “Digital Marketing” was first used in the year 1990 and has since evolved to cover different elements of online sales and service, being more refined during the first decade of 21st century. The first ever website (info.cern.ch) was published on August 6, 1991 by British physicist Tim BernersLee while at CERN, in Switzerland. And now the total number of Websites over the internet has passed 952,518,350 in count and it is increasing with a speed of 5+ websites per second contributing to 320 websites per minute.

Digital marketing differs from traditional marketing because it involves the use of channels and methods that enable a company to analyze its marketing campaigns and understand in real time what is and isn’t working. Here you can get the reasons for why you should go for online business and use digital marketing strategies to generate sales.

1. Digital Marketing has opened a trunk of opportunity for small and medium sized entrepreneurs (SMEs). Efficient use of digital marketing increases the chance to compete with the big names in the market in the same industry and attract their share of targeted traffic. SMEs have got new resources in the form of digital marketing to increase their sales and marketing processes that were previously available only to large corporations. Using digital media, SMEs can handle all the queries of their customers without establishing any call center for it. They can manage multiple customers from any part of the world virtually.

2. Digital Marketing is cost effective than traditional marketing. Basically in the initial time period, most of the SMEs have very much limited capital as well as resources and this is the reason why to step towards Digital Marketing. It gives SMEs a much more cost effective marketing channel. It can be seen in a survey result announced by Gartner that 28% of business owners surveyed will shift marketing budget allocations from traditional one to digital online marketing.
