What is E-Marketing? And how is it better than traditional Marketing?
A look at how E-Marketing differs from traditional marketing and why so many businesses are focusing a lot more time and spend on this dynamic form of marketing.
Marketing has pretty much been around forever in one form or another. Since the day when humans first started trading whatever it was that they first traded, marketing was there. Marketing was the stories they used to convince other humans to trade.
Humans have come a long way since then, (Well, we like to think we have) and
marketing has too.
The methods of marketing have changed and improved, and we’ve become a lot
more efficient at telling our stories and getting our marketing messages out there.
E-Marketing is the product of the meeting between modern communications
technologies and the age-old marketing principles that humans have always applied.That said, the specifics are reasonably complex and are best handled piece by piece. So we’ve decided to break it all down and tackle the parts one at a time. We’ll be looking at the “what” and “why” of E-Marketing, outlining the benefits and pointing out how it differs from traditional marketing methods.
What is eMarketing?
Very simply put, eMarketing or electronic marketing refers to the application of
marketing principles and techniques via electronic media and more specifically the Internet. The terms eMarketing, Internet marketing and online marketing, are frequently interchanged, and can often be considered synonymous.
eMarketing is the process of marketing a brand using the Internet. It includes
both direct response marketing and indirect marketing elements and uses a range of technologies to help connect businesses to their customers.
By such a definition, eMarketing encompasses all the activities a business conducts via the worldwide web with the aim of attracting new business, retaining current business and developing its brand identity.
Why is it important?
When implemented correctly, the return on investment from eMarketing can far exceed that of traditional marketing strategies.
Whether you’re a “bricks and mortar” business or a concern operating purely online,the Internet is a force that cannot be ignored. It can be a means to reach literally millions of people every year. It’s at the forefront of a redefinition of way businesses interact with their customers.
The benefits of eMarketing over traditional marketing Reach
The nature of the internet means businesses now have a truly global reach.
While traditional media costs limit this kind of reach to huge multinationals, eMarketing , opens up new avenues for smaller businesses, on a much smaller budget, to access potential consumers from all over the world
Scope
Internet marketing allows the marketer to reach consumers in a wide range of ways and enables them to offer a wide range of products and services. eMarketing includes, among other things, information management, public relations, customer service and sales. With the range of new technologies becoming available all the time, this scope can only grow. Interactivity
Whereas traditional marketing is largely about getting a brand’s message out there, eMarketing facilitates conversations between companies and consumers. With a two-way communication channel, companies can feed off of the responses of their consumers, making them more dynamic and adaptive.
Immediacy
Internet marketing is able to, in ways never before imagined, provide an immediate impact. Imagine you’re reading your favorite magazine. You see a double-page advert for some new product or service. With this kind of traditional media, it’s not that easy for you, the consumer, to take the step from hearing about a product to actual acquisition.
