ECOMMERCE ONLINE MARKETING STRATEGIES
“According to PepsiCo. Digital marketing innovation and a strong, direct relationship with consumers is key to successful brand building and
sales”
Scope Of Online Marketing
Marketing is a crucial factor in every business. Billboards on the side of the road, radio announcements, commercials, and advertisements in the mail bombard customers whether they care for it or not. The Internet is the only place where people can choose to search for the businesses they want at their own leisure and on their terms. This is just one of the reasons why digital marketing is perhaps one of the most successful forms of advertising. Digital technologies have a significant impact across all areas of business, regardless of the size, industry or scope of the business. This course provides a framework for developing a comprehensive digital strategy and talks through the process of producing a strategy that will make a significant difference to your business
