Abstract: Marketers are faced with new challenges and opportunities within this digital age. Digital marketing
is the utilization of electronic media by the marketers to promote the products or services into the market.
The main objective of digital marketing is attracting customers and allowing them to interact with the brand
through digital media. This article focuses on the importance of digital marketing for both marketers and
consumers. We examine the effect of digital marketing on the firms’ sales. Additionally the differences
between traditional marketing and digital marketing in this paper are presented. This study has described
various forms of digital marketing, effectiveness of it and the impact it has on firm’s sales. The examined
sample consists of one hundred fifty firms and fifty executives which have been randomly selected to prove
the effectiveness of digital marketing. Collected data has been analyzed with the help of various statistical
tools and techniques.
Keywords: Digital Marketing, Promotion, Effectiveness, Customer Reach
1. Introduction
Digital marketing is one type of marketing being widely used to promote products or services and to reach
consumers using digital channels. Digital marketing extends beyond internet marketing including channels
that do not require the use of Internet. It includes mobile phones (both SMS and MMS), social media
marketing, display advertising, search engine marketing and many other forms of digital media.
Through digital media, consumers can access information any time and any place where they want. With the
presence of digital media, consumers do not just rely on what the company says about their brand but also

they can follow what the media, friends, associations, peers, etc., are saying as well. Digital marketing is a
broad term that refers to various promotional techniques deployed to reach customers via digital
technologies. Digital marketing embodies an extensive selection of service, product and brand marketing
tactics which mainly use Internet as a core promotional medium in addition to mobile and traditional TV and
radio. Canon iMage Gateway helps consumers share their digital photos with friends online. L’Oréal’s brand
Lancôme uses email newsletters to keep in touch with customers and hence tries to strengthen customer
brand loyalty (Merisavo et al., 2004). Magazine publishers can activate and drive their customers into Internet
with e-mails and SMS messages to improve re-subscription rate (Merisavo et al., 2004).
Marketers increasingly bring brands closer to consumers’ everyday life. The changing role of customers as co-
producers of value is becoming increasingly important (Prahalad and Ramaswamy, 2004). Khan and
Mahapatra (2009) remarked that technology plays a vital role in improving the quality of services provided by
the business units. According to Hoge (1993), electronic marketing (EM) is a transfer of goods or services
from seller to buyer involving one or more electronic methods or media. E-Marketing began with the use of
telegraphs in the nineteenth century. With the invention and mass acceptance of the telephone, radio,
television, and then cable television, electronic media has become the dominant marketing force. McDonald’s
uses online channel to reinforce brand messages and relationships. They have built online communities for
children, such as the Happy Meal website with educative and entertaining games to keep customers always
close to themselves (Rowley 2004). Reinartz and Kumar (2003) found that the number of mailing efforts by
the company is positively linked with company profitability over time. The primary advantages of social
media marketing is reducing costs and enhancing the reach. The cost of a social media platform is typically
lower than other marketing platforms such as face-to-face sales or sales with a help of middlemen or
distributors. In addition, social media marketing allows firms to reach customers that may not be accessible
due to temporal and locational limitations of existing distribution channels. Generally, main advantage of
social media is that it can enable companies to increase reach and reduce costs (Watson et al. 2002; Sheth &
Sharma 2005).
According to Chaffey , social media marketing involves encouraging customer communications on
company’s own website or through its social presence . Social media marketing is one important technique in
digital marketing as companies can use social media form to distribute their messages to their target audience
without paying for the publishers or distributor that is characteristic for traditional marketing. Digital
marketing, electronic marketing, e-marketing and Internet marketing are all similar terms which, simply put,
refer to marketing online whether via websites, online ads, opt-in emails, interactive kiosks, interactive TV or
mobiles Chaffey & Smith, 8 . Giese and Gote (2000) finds that customer information satisfaction (CIS)
for digital marketing can be conceptualized as a sum of affective response of varying intensity that follows
consumption and is stimulated by focal aspects of sales activities, information systems (websites), digital
products/services, customer support, after-sales service and company culture.
Waghmare (2012) pointed out that many countries in Asia are taking advantage of e-commerce through
opening up, which is essential for promoting competition and diffusion of Internet technologies. Zia and
Manish (2012) found that currently, shoppers in metropolitan India are being driven by e-commerce: these
70
consumers are booking travels, buying consumer electronics and books online. Although spending per online
buyer remains low, some 59% of online consumers in metropolitan India already make purchases online at
least once in a month. Dave Chaffey (2002) defines e-marketing as application of digital technologies -
online channels (web, e-mail, databases, plus mobile/wireless & digital TV) to contribute to marketing
activities aimed at achieving profit acquisition and customers retention (within a multi-channel buying
process and customer lifecycle) by improving customer knowledge (of their profiles, behavior, value and
loyalty drivers) and further delivering integrated communications and online services that match customers’
individual needs. Chaffey's definition reflects the relationship marketing concept; it emphasizes that it should
not be technology that drives e-marketing, but the business model. All types of social media provide an
opportunity to present company itself or its products to dynamic communities and individuals that may show
interest (Roberts & Kraynak, 2008). According to Gurau (2008), online marketing environment raises a series
of opportunities and also challenges for social media marketing practitioners.
The main objective of this paper is to identify the effectiveness of digital marketing in the competitive
market. The supportive objectives are following:
 To show the various elements of digital marketing;
 To focus on the basic comparison between traditional and digital marketing;
 To discuss the effects of various forms of digital marketing on the firm’s sales and other
activities;
 To show the various advantages of digital marketing to the customers.
2. Theoretical and conceptual framework
2.1 Traditional Marketing versus Digital Marketing

Traditional marketing is the most recognizable form of marketing. Traditional marketing is non-digital way
used to promote the product or services of business entity. On the other hand, digital marketing is the
marketing of products or services using digital channels to reach consumers. Some comparisons are
presented below:
Traditional Marketing Digital Marketing

Traditional marketing includes print, broadcast, Digital marketing includes online advertising, email
direct mail, and telephone marketing, social media, text messaging, affiliate
marketing, search engine optimization, pay per click
No interaction with the audience Interaction with the audience

Advertising campaigns are planned over a long Advertising campaigns are planned over short
period of time period of time

71
products or services
Success of traditional marketing strategies can be Success of digital marketing strategies can be
celebrated if the firm can reach large local audience celebrated if the firm can reach some specific
number of local audience

innovations can be introduced within any campaign

Table 2.1 Traditional marketing and digital marketing comparison
Advertising mediums that might be used as part of digital marketing strategy of a business could include
promotional efforts made via Internet, social media, mobile phones, electronic billboards, as well as via digital
television and radio channels. Digital marketing is a sub branch of traditional marketing and uses modern digital
channels for the placement of products e.g. downloadable music, primarily for communicating with
stakeholders e.g. customers and investors about brand, products and business progress.
2.2 Various elements of digital marketing

There are various elements by which digital marketing is formed. All forms operate through electronic
devices. The most important elements of digital marketing are given below:
(i) Online advertising

Online advertising is a very important part of digital marketing. It is also called internet advertising through
which company can deliver the message about the products or services. Internet-based advertising provides
the content and ads that best matches to consumer interests. Publishers put about their products or services
on their websites so that consumers or users get free information. Advertisers should place more effective
and relevant ads online. Through online advertising, company well controls its budget and it has full control
on time.
(ii) Email Marketing
When message about the products or services is sent through email to the existing or potential consumer, it
is defined as email marketing. Direct digital marketing is used to send ads, to build brand and customer
loyalty, to build customer trust and to make brand awareness. Company can promote its products and
services by using this element of digital marketing easily. It is relatively low cost comparing to advertising or
other forms of media exposure. Company can bring complete attention of the customer by creating attractive
mix of graphics, text and links on the products and services.
72
(iii) Social Media

Today, social media marketing is one of the most important digital marketing channels. It is a computer-based
tool that allows people to create, exchange ideas, information and pictures about the company’s product or
services. According to Nielsen, internet users continue to spend more time with social media sites than any
other type. Social media marketing networks include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+. Through
Facebook, company can promote events concerning product and services, run promotions that comply with
the Facebook guidelines and explore new opportunities. Through Twitter, company can increase the
awareness and visibility of their brand. It is the best tool for the promotion of company’s products and
services. In LinkedIn, professionals write their profile and share information with others. Company can
develop their profile in LinkedIn so that the professionals can view and can get more information about the
company’s product and services. Google+ is also social media network that is more effective than other social
media like Facebook, Twitter. It is not only simple social media network but also it is an authorship tool that
links web-content directly with its owner.
(iv)Text Messaging
It is a way to send information about the products and services from cellular and smart phone devices. By
using phone devices, company can send information in the form of text (SMS), pictures, video or audio
(MMS). Marketing through cellphone SMS (Short Message Service) became increasingly popular in the early
2000s in Europe and some parts of Asia. One can send order confirmations, shipping alerts using text
message. Using SMS for campaigns get faster and more substantial results. Under this technique, companies
can send marketing messages to their customers in real-time, any time and can be confident that the
message will be seen. Company can create a questionnaire and obtain valuable customer feedback essential
to develop their products or services in future.
(v) Affiliate Marketing:
Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing. In this type of marketing, a company rewards
affiliates for each visitor or customer they bring by marketing efforts they create on behalf of company.
Industry has four core players: the merchant also known as retailer or brand , the network, the publisher
also known as the affiliate and the customer. The market has grown in such complexity resulting in the
emergence of a secondary tier of players including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and
specialized third party vendors. There are two ways to approach affiliate marketing: Company can offer an
affiliate program to others or it can sign up to be another business’s affiliate. If company wants to drive an
affiliate program, then, the company owner has to pay affiliates a commission fee for every lead or sale they
drive to company’s website. Company’s main goal here is to find affiliates who can reach untapped markets.
For example, a company with an e-zine may become a good affiliate because its subscribers are hungry for
resources. So, introducing one’s offer through trusted company can grab the attention of prospects which
might not have otherwise reached.
(vi) Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a
search engine’s natural or un-paid organic search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the
search results page), and more frequently a website appears in the search result list, the more visitors it will
73
receive from the search engine users. SEO may target different kinds of search including image search, local
search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
(vii) Pay Per Click (PPC)
Pay-per-click marketing is a way of using search engine advertising to generate clicks to your website rather
than earning those clicks organically. Pay per click is good for searchers and advertisers. It is the best way
for company’s ads since it brings low cost and greater engagement with the products and services.
2.3 Advantages digital marketing brings to customers

With rapid technological developments, digital marketing has changed customers buying behavior. It has
brought various advantages to the consumers as given below:
(i) Stay updated with products or services
Digital marketing technologies allow the consumers to stay with the company information updated.
Nowadays a lot of consumer can access internet any place anytime and companies are continuously updating
information about their products or services.
(ii) Greater engagement
With digital marketing, consumers can engage with the company’s various activities. Consumers can visit
company’s website, read information about the products or services and make purchases online and provide
feedback.
(iii) Clear information about the products or services
Through digital marketing, consumers get clear information about the products or services. There is a little
chance of misinterpretation of the information taken from sales person in a retail store. However, Internet
provides comprehensive product information which customers can rely on and make purchase decision.
(iv) Easy comparison with others
Since many companies are trying to promote their products or services using digital marketing, it is becoming
the greatest advantage for the customer in terms that customers can make comparison among products or
services by different suppliers in cost and time friendly way. Customers don’t need to visit a number of
different retail outlets in order to gain knowledge about the products or services.
(v) 24/7 Shopping
Since internet is available all day long, there is no time restriction for when customer wants to buy a product
online.
(vi) Share content of the products or services
Digital marketing gives viewers a chance to share the content of the product or services to others. Using
digital media, one can easily transfer and get information about the characteristics of the product or services
to others.
(vii) Apparent Pricing
Company shows the prices of products or services through digital marketing channel and this makes prices
very clear and transparent for the customers. Company may regularly changes the prices or gives special
74
offers on their products or services and customers are always in advantages by getting informed instantly by
just looking at any one mean of digital marketing.
(viii)Enables instant purchase

With traditional marketing, customers first watch the advertisement and then find relevant physical store to
purchase the products or services. However, with digital marketing, customers can purchase the products or
services instantly.
3. Methodology of the study

Methodology comes from systematic and theoretical analysis of the methods to evaluate suitability of one
specific method to apply to a field of study. It typically encompasses concepts such as paradigm, theoretical
model, phases and quantitative or qualitative techniques. This study is conducted based on both primary and
secondary data sources.
Primary sources:
Primary source is a source from where we collect first-hand information or original data on a topic. Interview
technique was used with structured questionnaire for the collection of primary data.
Secondary sources:
Secondary source is a source from where we collect data that has already been collected by someone. We
have collected secondary data from the published financial statements of the firms, newspaper and articles.
For the purpose of this study, we have selected one hundred fifty firms randomly which are using digital
marketing system to sell their products to customers. Additionally, we also collected data from 50 executives
from sample and other different firms to know their opinion on the effectiveness of digital marketing.
Collected data and information has been organized, explained and analyzed by using different statistical tools
and techniques. This study shows results both in descriptive and analytical way.

of r of text messaging, affiliate marketing and pay per click (PPC) are .667, .560 and .560 which also shows
low positive correlation with sales increase.
4.2 Analysis of digital marketing

Digital media is so pervasive that consumers have access to information any time and any place they want. It
was long ago when the messages people got about specific products or services consisted of only what a
company wanted them to know.

extent its relationship with digital marketing. For example, stay updated with products or services is
explained by 71.80% of digital marketing and the remaining 28.20% is explained by other factor. Greater
engagement is explained by 51.60% of digital marketing and the remaining 48.40% is explained by other
factor. Clear Information about the products or services is explained by 62.90% of digital marketing and the
76
remaining 37.10% is explained by other factor. We can also see from the above table that F value is bigger
more than 80 indicating the strength of the model.

5. Concluding remarks and proposal

Digital channel in marketing has become essential part of strategy of many companies. Nowadays, even for
small business owner there is a very cheap and efficient way to market his/her products or services. Digital
marketing has no boundaries. Company can use any devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops,
televisions, game consoles, digital billboards, and media such as social media, SEO (search engine
optimization), videos, content, e-mail and lot more to promote company itself and its products and services.
Digital marketing may succeed more if it considers user needs as a top priority. Just like Rome was not built
in a day, so, digital marketing results won’t also come without attempt, without trial (and error). The
watchwords test, learn and evolve should be at the heart of all digital marketing initiatives. Companies
should create innovative customer experiences and specific strategies for media to identify the best path for
driving up digital marketing performance.
