Digital Marketing Glossary Part I
People are afraid of what they don’t know, so it’s completely normal for people to shy away from what they don’t understand. Add money into the equation and the unknown becomes even more frightening.
When business owners are approached to invest money into marketing, they are faced with numerous questions to answer. What works best? How much should I spend? What’s the message I want to convey? When asked, most business owners do believe they should invest in marketing. However, when the word “digital” is added to “marketing”, conversations can get a little confusing.
Why is that? The most common reason is that people don’t completely understand Digital Marketing. Unlike traditional TV or radio advertising, people don’t always know what they are getting because they don’t understand the technical terminology. It’s important to comprehend some of the digital marketing terms to arm yourself with the knowledge to make successful marketing decisions.
