What is digital marketing?
Digital marketing is the practice of reaching audiences through internet-based channels such as search, social networks, email and messaging apps. It replaces many traditional media methods with measurable, real-time tactics. Marketers create ads, publish content and use data to optimise performance. The goal is to attract, convert and retain customers online.
How does digital marketing work?
It works by placing targeted messages on platforms where potential customers spend time, then tracking their actions. Advertisers set up campaigns on sites like Google, Meta or TikTok, define audience criteria and allocate budgets. When a user clicks an ad, tracking pixels record the interaction and link it to later actions such as a purchase. The data is analysed to refine targeting and improve return on investment.
What are the benefits of digital marketing?
Digital marketing offers precise audience targeting, measurable results and flexible budgeting. Campaigns can be adjusted instantly based on performance data. It reaches users on devices they use daily, increasing brand visibility. The approach also allows businesses to gather insights about customer behaviour for future planning.
Why should a business use digital marketing?
A business uses digital marketing to connect with customers where they search, browse and chat online. It provides a cost-effective way to generate leads compared with traditional media. The ability to track conversions means spend can be justified and optimised. Ultimately it helps grow sales and build lasting relationships.
How can digital marketing help a business in Kenya?
In Kenya, most people access the internet via mobile phones and search on Google, so local SEO and mobile-friendly ads are essential. WhatsApp is widely used for enquiries, making messaging campaigns highly effective. Creating content in both English and Swahili improves relevance. Targeted social media ads reach urban and rural audiences alike, driving traffic to websites or physical stores.
How much does digital marketing cost in Kenya?
