Digital marketing is the use of online channels such as social media, paid ads, email, video and SEO to promote your business, reach your ideal customers and drive sales. It’s measurable, scalable and more cost effective than traditional marketing.
Digital marketing boosts visibility, attracts new customers and strengthens your brand. It increases traffic to your website, improves your online presence and generates leads that convert into revenue. With the right strategy, every campaign supports long term growth.
A solid rule of thumb is to budget 10% to 15% of your total revenue. If you are a new business in a “growth phase,” aim higher (12% to 20%) to build awareness.
