The Advantages of Digital Marketing

Digital marketing encompasses all marketing efforts that use an electronic device or the internet. Businesses leverage digital channels such as search engines, social media, email, and other websites to connect with current and prospective customers.

The advantages of digital marketing, today, is enormous and it plays a pivotal role in building and promoting new businesses. Now, it is important for every business to have a presence online, and embark on marketing through digital means.

With the right approach and strategies, new business can increase their reach. Business owners now employ digital marketing tools to build their business. Social networking services have been a crucial avenue to do so. For instance, a shoe manufacturer can set up a Facebook Page for the shoe-making business. The Facebookposts published on the Page can be promoted by boosting to reach wider coverage of people, who are potential customers.

Unlike traditional marketing tools like Radio and Television which are more expensive and not selective and specific about the market reach. Digital Marketing avails us the opportunity to pick a particular age range, location, where the market will reach. Customers can be easily targeted. Digital Marketing is the most cost-effective method to promote a business. Because it is exceedingly difficult and challenging for small business owners to market their products on television, and radio platforms, but it is cheaper through digital marketing.


With a small amount of money, a business can promote their products and services online which is not possible with offline marketing methods as they are exorbitant and the fee for advertising are outrageous. And that is why, it is possible for small business to compete with big business nowadays because digital marketing is affordable, and provides great value to mini businesses to showcase their products and services.

Also, digital marketing provides businesses to have a global reach. Businesses can have customers across the world because the internet is a global community, and anybody can order a particular product anywhere across the globe. The impact here is showing in the fashion, manufacturing industry. For example, a sponsored Facebook or Instagram post of any post can reach anybody.

Moreover, there is an opportunity of connecting businesses with customers through digital marketing. It allows engagements between customers and owners of the business – as they can exchange messages to further boost the levels of trust.

Furthermore, data can be collected and gathered easily through digital marketing compared to the traditional media tools.

In the build-up to the 2015 General Elections, digital marketing tools were used by the two leading political parties. The country’s political class invested resources in digital marketing, and it contributes to defining the political process and engagement then.

Political actors market their aspirations on Facebook, Twitter, Web, and Instagram. Their messages reached the youths, who constitute a major bloc in the election. In 2015, most of the candidates who contested for political offices promoted their messages for the citizens, rather than only investing in the traditional media tools.

Today, digital marketing is here to stay, and its tremendous contributions are shaping new business across the globe. It is important for new businesses to embrace the trend in order to maximize profits.
