1. People mostly connect to the internet

As we said above, more than 63% of the global population can access the internet. Also, smartphone holders are increasing drastically. So, people are mostly connected to the internet all the time.

All forms of content creators produce more content in digital form to reach their audiences. To access that content, people are mostly connected to the internet.

On the other hand, service providers and e-commerce sites improved their technology and enabled end-to-end online purchase ability for their customers.

So, marketers get into digital advertising to create brand awareness and attract new customers to their business. This is one of the main advantages of digital advertising.

2. Affordable than other types of advertising

Several forms of advertising are available. But, digital marketing is affordable for marketers compared with other types of advertising. Marketers no need to spend huge money on digital marketing.

For example, small marketers can’t compete with big marketers and buy an ad slot on popular television but they can compete with the same huge marketers in digital advertising at a low cost of money.

3. Easy to the target group of audience

The major advantage of digital advertising is “Targeting”. Digital Advertising enables the opportunity to target a particular group of people based on their interest, behavior, age group, purchase history, last activity, etc. So ad spend could be more effective.

Why Digital Marketing Is Important

For example, One marketer opens a restaurant in Mumbai. Now they decided to give the advertisement on one popular tv channel for a huge amount. That tv will show the ad in Mumbai and also other places wherever it runs. But, there is no use when people from other cities see their ad. But, they need to pay for full views per their TRP rate.

On the other hand, the same marketer can run a digital advertising campaign and show their advertisement only to people who live in Mumbai city. Not only the geo location but also provides enormous targeting methods to reach the correct people.

4. Every interaction can be measurable

Marketers spend some part of their investments on advertising. Because they need to build a brand awareness about their business. Except for digital advertising, all other forms of advertising methods are not measurable. Digital Advertising has the ability to measure the interaction like how many times users see our advertisements, how many times they interacted with our ads, how many times they visited the landing page and make an action, etc.

So, marketers can understand the performance of their digital advertising campaigns and do improvements.

5. Can use different media contents

Marketers can use different kinds of media content on digital platforms. They can use video, image, text, sound, and altogether to make suitable content and attract their consumers more effectively. Also, updating content in the digital medium is very easy for marketers.

6. Interact with customers is possible

In digital marketing, marketers can interact with the customers who really have an interest in their products. 

For example, Marketers can collect the user details by asking them to fill out the forms and then marketers can touch with thier customers.

Marketers can track and retarget the customers who interacted with their ad/product previously or visited their landing or purchased the product previously. So, marketers can run their advertisement campaigns more effectively.  

7. Influencer Engagement

Using social media platforms anyone can be a popular influencer. Social media like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn have tons of users. So, influencers themselves promote their products without spending any additional amount on advertising. Small marketers can’t hire very popular influencers like actors or sportspersons to promote their products. But, small marketers can hire those low-level social media influencers to promote their products at an affordable cost.
