Back in the early 2000’s people didn’t even know what digital marketing is or whether they could use it to promote their business. Today even the older generations are turning to Google to look up information. Kids, if they get stuck on an assignment given by teachers, they turn to online searching. The Yellowpages have gone the way of the buggy whip. They are no longer used by the majority of buying consumers.
Is your marketing old school?
Search Engines have evolved since the first days. Now, a search engine not only searches results but becomes a calculator, dictionary, timer, or even an alarm. All this has happened because humans have always been drawn toward the digital world, looking forward to more and more features. Thus, a cut-throat competition was emerging in the Digital world, which instituted the concept of ‘DIGITAL MARKETING.’ Digital Marketing is a broad-ranging term, and many platforms are used in digital marketing in today’s internet-driven society.
