Why Digital Marketing?
The paradigm shift in technology and the recent pandemic has changed our perspective on marketing. Advertisers now prefer marketing their products and services online due to obvious reasons. Digital Marketing helps target specific people who are indeed interested in a product or service. Traditional marketing comprises advertising to the masses irrespective of their interests and wants. Imagine a TV ad on purchasing credit cards. How many of the total viewers shall be actually interested in purchasing one? How about targeted to those potential buyers and persuading that small group of interested peeps to purchase credit cards? Sounds fun right?
