Digital Marketing speaks to the unique approach of marketing facilitated by the “digital revolution”. The key features of digital marketing are the ability to identify and target each consumer individually, engage in two-way interaction with them, leverage the capability to customize services for each consumer, and influence consumer purchase behavior online.
