What is Digital Marketing and how is it better than traditional marketing?

Marketing has pretty much been around forever in one form or another.

Since the day when humans first started trading whatever it was that they first traded, marketing was there. Marketing was the stories they used to convince other humans to trade. Humans have come a long way since then, (Well, we like to think we have) and marketing has too. The methods of marketing have changed and improved, and we've become a lot more efficient at telling our stories and getting our marketing messages out there. 

E-Marketing is the product of the meeting between modern communication technologies and the age-old marketing principles that humans have always applied.

What is e-Marketing?

Very simply put, e-Marketing or electronic marketing refers to the application of marketing principles and techniques via electronic media and more specifically the Internet. The terms e-Marketing, Internet marketing and online marketing, are frequently interchanged, and can often be considered synonymous.

E-Marketing is the process of marketing a brand using the Internet. It includes both direct response marketing and indirect marketing elements and uses a range of technologies to help connect businesses to their customers.

By such a definition, e-Marketing encompasses all the activities a business conducts via the worldwide web with the aim of attracting new business, retaining current business and developing its brand identity.

Why e-marketing important?

When implemented correctly, the return on investment (ROI) from e-Marketing can far exceed that of traditional marketing strategies.

Whether you're a "bricks and mortar" business or a concern operating purely online, the Internet is a force that cannot be ignored. It can be a means to reach literally millions of people every year. It's at the forefront of a redefinition of way businesses interact with their customers.
