customer or buyer persona takes during a buying process or broader customer experience. Online this
may include a range of digital platforms, communications media, websites, pages and engagement

To help develop a strategy to reach and influence potential customers online, there are 3 main types of
media channels that need to be considered.

network when they serve an ad, a sponsorship or pay for a click, lead or sale generated.

website, blogs, email list and social media.
3. Earned media: the audience is reached through editorial, comments and sharing online.

services.
Introduction to digital marketing strategy
Positioning: customers’ perception of the product and brand offering relative to those of competitors.
Target marketing strategy: Evaluation and selection of appropriate customer segments and the
development of appropriate offers.
Online value proposition (OVP): A statement of the benefits of online services that reinforces the
core proposition and differentiates from an organization’s offline offering and those of competitors.
, Interaction and integration between digital channels and traditional channels is a key part of digital
marketing strategy development.
An effective digital marketing strategy should (key features):
- be aligned with business and marketing strategy with more specific annual business priorities
and initiatives.
- use clear objectives for business and brand development and the inline contribution of leads
and sales for the Internet or other digital channels - these should be based on models of the
number using the channels.
- be consistent with the types of customers who use and can be effectively reached through the
channel.
- define a compelling differential value proposition for the channel, which must be effectively
communicated to customers.
- specify the mix of online and offline communication tools used to attract visitors to the
company website, or interact with the brand through other digital media such as email or
mobile.
- support the customer journey through the buying process as they select and purchase products
using the digital channel in combination with other channels.
- manage the online customer lifecycle through the stages of attracting visitors to the website,
converting them into customers and retention and growth.
Value proposition: The benefits or value a brand offers to customers in its products and services.
Digital media and technologies can be used as follows (application):
- Advertising medium: Display ads on publisher sites or social networks can be used to create
awareness of brands and demands for products or services.
- Direct-response medium: Targeted search advertising enables companies to drive visits to a
site when consumers show intent to purchase, such as searching for a flight to a destination.
- Platform for sales transactions: Online flight booking is now the most common method for
booking flights, both for consumer and business travelers.
- Lead-generation method: For booking business flights, tools can be provided that help
identify follow-up corporate flight purchases.
- Distribution channel, such as for distributing digital products: Today, airlines sell more
insurance services than previously, for example.
- Customer service mechanism: For example, customers may ‘self-serve’ more
cost-effectively by reviewing frequently asked questions.
- Relationship-building medium: Here a company can interact with its customers to better
understand their needs and publicize relevant products and offers. For example, easyJet uses
its email newsletter and tailored alerts about special deals to encourage repeat flight bookings.
Marketing is the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer
requirements profitably.
