What is Internet Marketing?
Internet Marketing can is any activity performed on the
internet which is intended to create brand or product
awareness, business or consumer leads, or result in web based
sales through e-commerce.
What is different about internet
marketing?
Traditional marketing has historically been a one way
broadcast type of relationship. A business defines it's
goals, conducts research, and then sets out on a marketing
campaign with radio, print and TV ads. Sometimes there's
even some direct mail or telemarketing. Traditional
marketing is effective at reaching large numbers of the public,
but it is severely limited in it's ability to reach the most
interested customers at precisely the time when they are
interested in making a purchase, or learning more about your
products. Traditional marketing also introduces a longer
time between the advertising purchase, execution and
display of the campaign, and calculation of Return on
Investment (ROI). IE: Advertising in print media
sometimes has lead times from months to years in advance, and
campaigns cannot accurately be assessed for effectiveness for a
long time after their execution. Additionally with
offline marketing, you must advertise to much larger segments,
broken down by demographics of age, income, location, etc...
This results in lower ROI due to wasting your advertising
message on large numbers of people that aren't interested just
to reach the few that are.
With online internet marketing smaller niches can be reached
cost effectively, and mass markets can have customized content,
provide instant feedback, and ROI can be assessed
quickly. Marketing campaigns can be planned, designed,
executed and assessed within days or weeks. Ads can be
targeted by hobby, or past purchases, not just on
demographics. Companies can run multiple ads, create
viral marketing media, and build a relationship with their
customers all while testing new messages and measuring ROI.
