Where there is a product or service, there must be a way to get it into a customer’s hands. Some of the primary functions of marketing include planning, promoting, persuading, managing channels and information, pricing, product service management, and selling. Digital marketing offers a unique opportunity to tailor marketing campaigns to target specific customers. If done properly, this can result in a higher return on investment (ROI), which is the ratio of cost to profit. Digital marketing also allows for more scope in terms of branding and public relations through content marketing. However, this also poses risk. The internet moves fast, and reputational damage is possible in a heartbeat if campaigns and digital marketing strategies are not carefully thought out and planned.

Customer-centric thinking, which involves placing the user at the core of all decisions, is vital when looking at building a successful marketing strategy. Today’s marketing strategist offers not only a plethora of tactical possibilities, but also unprecedented ways of measuring the effectiveness of chosen strategies and tactics. Digital allows greater opportunities for interaction and consumer engagement than were possible in the past, so it is important to consider the ways in which the brand can create interactive experiences for consumers, not just broadcast messages.
