Digital marketing tools can be divided into three main groups

  1. Paid – any resources paid for by the customer
  2. Own resources belonging to the business owner (website, groups in social networks, …)
  3. Purchased (earned) – earned media (posts on forums, reviews, …)

One of the main advantages of using digital marketing is the use of analytics to study and, accordingly, better understand the behavior of the target audience when promoting a product. It is the use of “numbers” in the analysis that allows you to accurately determine many parameters of the target audience: gender, age, interests, region of residence, etc.

Having information about the target audience and the characteristics of the product, you can choose a set of tools, resources and channels to effectively solve the promotion tasks. In fact, the specifics of the product, the parameters of the target audience, the opportunities and the goals of the business allow you to form a strategy to use a specific set of opportunities, without the need to cover all digital marketing tools. Digital analytics allows you to evaluate the effectiveness and, if necessary, adjust the company’s increase in sales, which occurred thanks to the use of digital marketing tools.
