Q

Digital marketing is powerful in what two fundamental ways?

A

First, the audience can be segmented very precisely, even down to factors like current location and recent
brand interactions, which means that messages can (and must) be personalised and tailored specially for them.

Second, the digital sphere is almost completely measurable. Every minute and every click by a customer can be accounted for. In digital you can see exactly how various campaigns are performing, which channels bring the most benefit, and where your efforts are best focused. Cumulatively, access to data that measures the whole customer experience should lead to data driven decision making.

Who are your customers, and what needs, wants and desires do they have?

market research will reveal the answers to these questions.

36
Q

48
Q

websites.

awareness online. It can be more interactive and therefore less disruptive than traditional or static online advertising, as users can choose to engage with the ad or not. Online advertising can be targeted to physical locations, subject areas, past user behaviours, and much more.

excellent for capturing and retaining customer attention.
Done correctly, it provides tangible value – in the form of
information, entertainment or inspiration – and boosts a
brand’s image in the eyes of the public.

54
Q

Social Media Tactic

A

Social media is media in the form of text, visuals and audio, that can be shared online. It has changed the face
of marketing by allowing collaboration and connection in a way that no other channel has been able to offer.

55
Q

Social Media Outcome

A

Branding, value creation and participation

From a strategic perspective, social media, is useful for
brand building, raising awareness of the brand and its story, and encouraging the customer to become involved with the brand. The shareable and accessible nature of social media platforms allows brands to communicate and engage directly with their customers. Social media also offers brands a way to interact with their customers, instead of just broadcasting to them.

56
Q

Email Marketing Tactic

A

Email marketing is a form of direct marketing that delivers commercial and content-based messages to an
audience. It is extremely cost effective, highly targeted, customisable on a mass scale and completely measurable – all of which make it one of the most powerful digital marketing tactics.

57
Q

Email Marketing Outcome

A

Customer retention and value creation

Email marketing is a tool for building relationships with
potential and existing customers through valuable content and promotional messages.

A targeted, segmented email database means that a brand can direct messages at certain sectors of their customer base in order to achieve the best result.

58
Q

What should you do once the objectives and tactics have been set?

A

Cross-check and re-evaluate them against the needs and resources of your organisation to make sure your strategy is on the right track and no opportunities are being overlooked.

59
