What’s Digital Marketing?
Digital marketing is an umbrella term for the targeted, measurable, and
interactive marketing of products or services using digital technologies to
reach and convert leads into customers and retain them. The key objective
is to promote brands, build preference and increase sales through various
digital marketing techniques. It is embodied by an extensive selection of
service, product and brand marketing tactics, which mainly use the
Internet as a core promotional medium, in addition to mobile and
traditional TV and radio.

“Digital Marketing is the use of digital channels to promote
or market products and services to consumers and
businesses.”

How is it different from ‘online marketing’ and other related terms?
The term ‘digital marketing’ and ‘online marketing’ are very much
similar, except that the former has become more popular than the
latter. The other similar terms such as ‘Internet marketing’ and
‘web marketing’ are rarely used.

What’s your Business Model?

Marketplace Model - bringing buyers and sellers together and enabling
transactions.

Advertising Model - in this model, a user gets something free, be it
content or information and in return, the user will get to see
advertisements.
Examples?

Examples?
Direct to Consumer (D2C) - this is a rather latest model adopted by big brands to
avoid the middlemen bypassing the traditional distribution model. One example for this is
when a user orders something directly on a brand’s website, the consumer gets it directly
from the manufacturer without going through the distributor-dealer-retailer chain.

Examples?
Subscription - Users are charged a certain fee per month or annum to subscribe
to a service.
Affiliate Model - let us say, you own a book review blog and get 100’s of
visitors to your blog. And, you signed up as an affiliate with Amazon and directed
some traffic from your blog to Amazon’s website to buy books. Now, Amazon pays
you a certain commission for each successful referral resulting a purchase.
On-demand - this is very popular now. It is mostly pertained to services. Let us
say, you need to get your house cleaned, you book a home services company. Let
us say, you need to go somewhere and book a cab, that is on-demand service for
you.

TV, print, radio, display ads, search marketing ads such as Google
AdWords, Facebook Ads, etc.
Owned media - you own the channel and have absolute control
of the channel(s). Again, the channel could be an online or offline
