Digital
Marketing Training center in Noida :- My recent blog post on digital marketing trends shows the latest
innovations, but here we go back to basics to define digital marketing. This is
important since for some in business, particularly more traditional marketers
or business owners, 'digital' is simplistically taken to mean 'our website' or
'our Facebook page'. This thinking limits the scope and opportunity of what's
managed and it means that activities that should be managed may be
missed.Display technology has developed so marketers can now look across the
bid opportunities received on a daily basis and calculate how many impressions
the advertiser will win, and the cost of those impressions. This allows buyers
to see how incremental increases in bid price can drive more wins in real-time
marketplaces, which in turn will increase the probability of conversions.
Predictive media planning is now in play. If marketers want to average a $5
cost-per-action, they can look along the curve to see how many conversions they
will get at that rate.
Types of digital
marketing
We prefer to use the
terminology "digital marketing channels" rather than
"types" as each channel that can be used to reach potential customers
can be complex depending on the level of integration and tactics you apply
across your digital marketing strategy and campaigns. Our RACE planning
framework maps the online customer journey across all potential touch points,
showing the scale and opportunity digital marketing provides - more than just
"a website" or "a Facebook page".
To understand the
importance of digital marketing to the future of marketing in any business,
it’s helpful to think about what audience interactions we need to understand
and manage. Digital marketing today is about many more types of audience
interaction than website or email... It involves managing and harnessing these
‘5Ds of Digital’ that I have defined in the introduction to the latest update
to my Digital Marketing: Strategy, Planning and Implementation book. The 5Ds
define the opportunities for consumers to interact with brands and for
businesses to reach and learn from their audiences in different ways:
Digital devices –
audiences experience brands as they interact with business websites and mobile
apps typically through a combination of connected devices including smart
phones, tablets, desktop computers, TVs and gaming devices.
Digital platforms – most
interactions on these devices are through a browser or apps from the major
platforms or services, that’s Facebook (and Instagram), Google (and YouTube),
Twitter and LinkedIn.
Digital media – different
paid, owned and earned communications channels for reaching and engaging
audiences including advertising, email and messaging, search engines and social
networks.
Digital data – the
insight businesses collect about their audience profiles and their interactions
with businesses, which now needs to be protected by law in most countries.
Digital technology – the
marketing technology or match stack that businesses use to create interactive
experiences from websites and mobile apps to in-store kiosks and email
campaigns.
Defining digital
marketing
The use of the Internet
and other digital media and technology to support ‘modern marketing’ has given
rise to a bewildering range of labels and jargon created by both academics and
professionals. It has been called digital marketing, Internet marketing,
e-marketing and web marketing and these alternative terms have varied through
time. Digital Marketing is the term most frequently used today, as we can see
from these digital marketing definitions, so that is the term we focus on.
Because of the recent debate about the use of the term ‘digital marketing’, we
thought it would be useful to pin down exactly what digital means through a
definition. Do definitions matter? We think they do, since particularly within
an organization or between a business and its clients we need clarity to
support the goals and activities that support Digital Transformation. As we'll
see, many of the other definitions are misleading. Boiled down to its simplest
form, digital marketing is defined in my book Digital Marketing: Strategy,
Implementation and Practice as simply:
"Achieving marketing
objectives through applying digital technologies and media."
I expand on this
definition of digital marketing to explain that, in practice, digital marketing
includes managing different forms of online company presence and presences such
as company websites, mobile apps, and social media company pages. This is in
conjunction with online communications techniques including the likes of search
engine marketing, social media marketing, online advertising, e-mail marketing
and partnership arrangements with other websites.
These techniques are used
to support the objectives of acquiring new customers and providing services to
existing customers that help develop the customer relationship through E-CRM
and marketing automation. However, for digital marketing to be successful,
there is still a necessity for integration of these techniques with traditional
media such as print, TV and direct mail as part of multichannel marketing communications.

If we look at these other
definitions of digital marketing such as this definition of digital marketing
from SAS: What is Digital Marketing and Why does it matter? or this alternative
definition of digital marketing from Wikipedia we can see that often there is a
focus on promoting of products and services using digital media rather than a more
holistic definition covering customer experiences, relationship development and
stressing the importance of multichannel integration. So for us, the scope of
the term should include activities across the customer lifecycle:
1.Digital media and
communications channels Digital and mobile experiences such as web design and
mobile apps Prospect and customer relationship management through marketing automation.
Digital strategy and integrating multichannel communications and experiences
Digital technologies and platforms to manage all digital marketing activities.
The role of digital platforms in supporting integrated multichannel marketing
is an important component part of digital marketing, yet is often overlooked.
In many ways, this highlights how important it is to break down silos between
‘digital’ and ‘traditional’ marketing departments. Online channels can also be
managed to support the whole buying process from pre-sale to sale to post-sale
and further development of customer relationships.
The digital ad industry
is incredibly myopic. In the past year or so, the industry adopted the term
programmatic to describe how technology has permanently changed media buying.
Prior to that, the latest and greatest ad tech advancement was realtime bidding
(RTB) -- the trading of online media in an auction based environment. While the
focus has shifted beyond RTB to the bigger picture of programmatic media
buying, many are still guilty of using these terms interchangeably.RTB is not
programmatic. Digital
