Communication technology continues to evolve and improve through faster, more convenient, interactive channels. The internet is not just for information anymore but has evolved into a powerful communication tool too with the use of email, chat, social networking sites, forums, VOIP hubs, online SMS or short message system services, video calls, video conferencing and more. Where communication is, companies will always be there to tap the market for their products and services for bigger profits and this is called digital marketing.
Digital marketing is the strategy of promoting products and services through digital channels of communication such as mobile phones and the internet. It happens through various communication transactions made via short message system or SMS (text message) and mobile multi-media system or MMS. There is no live person-to-person interaction with this form of marketing but product and services can be availed through SMS or MMS transactions using mobile phones or on the internet in the form of e-commerce.
The digital market is growing exponentially and companies have seen the opportunity to earn from this huge market of consumers. More and more people own mobile phones nowadays especially when smart phones like the popular Apple iPhone took the world by storm. Digital marketers can now send their sales pitches to the consumer's mobile phones through SMS and MMS transactions. Although computers fall under the category of a "digital" channel, it is more identified as "online" marketing. Mobile phones therefore are identified more with digital marketing.
There are two classifications of digital marketing -the "pull" marketing and the "push" marketing. People who respond to "pull marketing" are those who pull up the information they need by typing a series of commands then sending it to a network provider's automated number using their mobile phones. People can pull up any information they need as often as they want and there is no need to subscribe to. On the other hand, push digital marketing involves the interaction between the consumer and the company by exchanging text messages. Usually, people who respond to push marketing require the opt-in feature just like when a person subscribes to a newsletter through email alerts. Mobile phone numbers of push participants are saved in the company's database for future SMS or MMS alerts.
Digital marketing have started to conquer the world of marketing and it is just a matter of time before it topples down other forms of marketing strategies that we might only read through history books. This is the reason why this new strategy is called the new face of marketing. This marketing strategy is more affordable than other marketing strategies and the read percentage is much, much higher that email marketing. You can easily find companies offering this service online but since it is still new, so to speak, it is better to know if the results are impressive enough by using a trial service first.
