1. DIGITAL MARKETING:
Digital marketing is the component of marketing that uses digital technology based
on online environments such as desktop computers, mobile phones and other digital
platforms and media to promote products and services. Digital platforms and media
like Apps (APP), Social media marketing, Search marketing (SEO & SEM) and Email
marketing, Content marketing, website/blog, etc. to reach consumers.
When you get the hang of it, digital marketing is simply marketing .
That's how businesses today get their message across to their best and potential
customers.
In marketing is to make the right offer at the right time and in the right place .
Digital marketing puts you in the same channels, so the best potential customers can
see you, learn more about you, and even ask questions to learn more about you and
your products or services. If you are new to digital marketing, you may feel
overwhelmed thinking about mastering all the online marketing tactics used in digital
marketing.
We understand that...

2. There are different tactics that you will need to learn. But they all work together to
create the foundation for your business: attract leads, nurture relationships, and
make an offer your audience will appreciate and respond to. Let's take a closer look
at how that happens.
How does Digital Marketing work:
In many ways, digital marketing is no different from traditional marketing. In both,
smart organizations seek to develop mutually beneficial relationships with leads ,
prospects, and customers.
But digital marketing has replaced most of the traditional marketing tactics as it is
designed to reach today's consumers. As an example...
Think about the last major purchase you made. Perhaps you bought a house, hired a
roofer, or changed the paper supplier in your office. Whatever it is, you may have
started by scouring the Internet to learn more about the solutions available, who
provided them, and what your best options are. Then, your final purchase decision is
based on the reviews you've read, the friends and family you've consulted, and the
solutions, features, and prices you've researched. Most purchasing decisions begin
online. In that case, an online presence is absolutely essential — no matter what you
sell.
The key is to develop a digital marketing strategy that takes you to all the
places your followers have been, and then uses a variety of digital channels to
connect with them in multiple ways:
Content updates industry news , the problems they are facing and how you
solve them
Social media: Social media to share that content and then interact with them
as friends and followers. Search engine optimization ( SEO ) to optimize your
content, so it shows up when someone is searching for information you wrote
about. Advertise to drive paid traffic to your website where people can see
your offers. And email marketing to track your audience to make sure they
continue to get the solutions they're looking for.
When you put all these pieces together, you have an effective digital marketing
machine that is easy to operate. And while building that machine from scratch looks
intimidating, it's a breeze to learn and integrate one digital marketing tactic at a time.
