What is Digital Marketing?
Digital marketing encompasses a broad range of marketing strategies associated with the internet that are designed to target and engage specific consumers. Attention-grabbing websites uncovered during Google searches, customized email programs, and social media are becoming universal elements designed to engage existing customers and attract new ones. Unlike traditional mass marketing strategies like TV, radio, and newspapers, digital marketing attempts to focus messages to a population that is most likely to require the company’s goods or services in the near future.
As the population continues to spend more time online, creating a presence to connect with them is critical.
Effective digital or online marketing is essential in today’s business environment. According to an Adweek.com, 81% of shoppers conduct an online search before making any important purchasing decision.
Digital marketing, much of which is also termed Inbound Marketing, is designed to attract viewers’ attention with an exciting and pertinent website or other marketing devices that may include such tools as:
- infographics
- interest-catching blogs
- online brochures
- ebooks
- details such as newly imagined logos and other branding assets.
Also, useful interactive tools are designed to engage consumers to linger and take notice as they speed through their internet searches.
As another important element, online consumer feedback and commentary are driving many of today’s purchases. Consumers seeking products to provide pleasure or to solve a problem usually rely on experiential input from online posts to guide their decisions. Effective digital marketers capitalize on positive feedback while minimizing negative feedback in timely ways.
Important disciplines to enhance your presence are:
- Strategy building
- Search engine optimization (SEO)
- Content marketing
- Pay-per-Click (PPC) advertising
- Social media management
- Email marketing
- Public relations
- Consulting

Each professional at MarketCrest brings a unique set of skills and experience that will provide a holistic view of your brand and market building.
During the discovery phase of the free introductory consultation, the MarketCrest experts will address your current circumstances including:

From the analysis of your current situation, digital marketers can develop a customized strategy designed to drive the appropriate traffic that generates qualified leads and profitable revenue.
Once initial objectives are established, the process of further evaluation and strategy development begins. The three core categories for consideration are:
- Website Design and Development: Evaluate the current design and adjust to meet the new objectives. Such issues as visual appeal, user experience, mobile readiness, and page load speed will be analyzed for acceptability. If tweaks or significant changes are needed, this will be the time to do so.
- Content Optimization: Evaluation of success rate of your landing pages is essential. With ongoing, real-time analysis of your content, MarketCrest professionals can determine if you are developing trust, establishing credibility, and enhancing the image of your company. Content should be engaging and include relevant keywords that increase search engine optimization. Other data tools can be added to track demographic and geographic interest.
- Conversion Optimization: How many visits you successfully convert may depend on a variety of elements in your content. Continual monitoring and adjustment where needed can improve conversion rates.
