DIGITAL MARKETING
What is Digital Marketing ?
Digital marketing is also known as online marketing is the use of the internet to connect and influence potential customers. Digital marketing is a powerful tool that is used to create brand awareness. Digital marketing when compared to traditional marketing is more effective because of its nature.
Digital VS Traditional MARKETING. Which should i go for?
We get questions like this from clients, usually, we always chose the former but if you have the budget, it is okay to do both. We feel that digital marketing is more powerful and effective than traditional marketing because digital marketing uses the internet as a medium to achieve its goal while traditional marketing uses radio, billboards, television, magazine, newspapers…. to achieve its goals. This means that digital marketing can reach more people in a very cost-effective way without geographical barriers.
Now, this is not to say that traditional marketing is old-fashioned because it is still effective as traditional marketing tends to target a specific audience. We sometimes advise some brands to go for traditional marketing depending on the brand goals and its audiences or sometimes we advise both.
