There is a gap in the connection between traditionally taught marketing concepts and the new digital marketing world.
Digital Marketing Strategies ties in essentials such as the 4Ps of marketing, and how research informs decisions to gain profitability, with the digital concepts of content marketing, website design, SEO and SEM, Social Media and mobile marketing. It provides a strategic approach for the digital marketing methods, and a framework for measuring, planning and optimizing efforts. This guide is a fresh look at how today’s marketing professionals can integrate digital marketing into a corporate strategy.
Digital Marketing Strategies has 4 parts:
- Overview and Approach of How Digital Ties in with Traditional Marketing (Ch. 1)
- Preparing for Digital Marketing Success: Digital Strategy & Research Methods (Ch. 2 and 3)
- Digital Marketing Components: Content, Website, Paid Ads, Social Media & Mobile (Ch. 4 – 8)
- Digital Marketing in Action: How to Create a Framework for Optimization (Ch. 9 – 11)
As an added feature, a free app on how to define the optimal price point is included. This tool provides an estimated price range and price point based on economic theory. It has been incorporated into this book as the means for collecting data can be done through digital methods. The user uploads a data set into the app to get valuable insights on how to price products and services.
