INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL MARKETING

Digital marketing refers to the practice of promoting products, services, or brands through online and
electronic media channels. It encompasses various techniques such as content marketing, social media
marketing, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising, email marketing, and
more. Unlike traditional marketing, digital marketing allows for real-time interaction, personalisation,
and the ability to measure success quickly and accurately.

Example: A startup uses Google Ads to target people searching for home fitness equipment, leading to
an immediate boost in website visits and sales.

Importance of Digital Marketing in Today's World

In today’s digital age, people spend a significant portion of their time online—shopping, researching,
and socialising. Digital marketing helps businesses:

Build brand awareness across multiple platforms.
Compete with larger companies on a level playing field.

Reach mobile users and increase accessibility.

Engage customers in meaningful ways through social media and email.
