Online marketing consists of the digital channels (i.e. your website, emails, banners, social channels, videos, etc.) that businesses use to attract and capture customers and prospects. Whereas traditional marketing focuses on reaching massive mainstream audiences using tools like radio and television, online marketers concentrate on reaching niche audiences through digital interfaces.
With the emergence of social media, online marketing has become increasingly interactive. Marketing to customers, prospects and company stakeholders has transformed from a one-way conversation into a two-way conversation wherein customers now consume and help produce brand content.
The different components that make up online marketing, as well as the different tactics used to enhance online interaction between customers and brands, can easily fill a book. However, there are basic principles that underpin many of the best practices that form the foundation of a solid online marketing strategy.
