What is Digital Marketing?

Marketing and the advent of digital media

Marketing refers to identifying needs of consumers and providing goods or services to them. Products and services are created and modified based on consumer feedback to cater to customer needs. Once such products or services are produced, extensive advertising is done in order to create awareness of the products or services and their features and benefits amongst the target users over a well defined geographical area. This advertising mostly utilizes advertising media like: brochures, flyers, letters, newspaper ads, yellow pages ads, radio ads and TV commercials. These were and still are common media of mass communication for advertisers. However, due to advent in technology, the internet came into existence in 1983 followed by the world wide web (www) in 1990. In the same year, email also came into existence. Websites started emerging in 1993 and this gave rise to search engines. Then came smartphones in 1995.

Immediately after their invention, more and more people started using the internet, email, search engines and smartphones. This digital audience has been growing at an exponential double digit growth rate every year.

An estimate shows that people using digital media are more likely to try out new products or services as compared to people not using it.
