COVID-19 Pushes up Internet Usage by over 70% ! Simply means, Businesses that are NOT Online, will loose out on valuable Customers
Why are OVER three billion people online ? What is this effectiveness of Digital Marketing that is attracting everyone ?
Effectiveness is a big driver for Digital Marketing because the Digital world is an extremely measurable medium.

Comparatively, traditional media is expensive, partly unaccountable and needs a large outlay of resources whereas Digital Marketing can be started off with a fraction of that investment !
As mentioned before, there are over three billion people who are online today – which is close to 40% of the world’s population.

- 31% (which is again a huge number) are accessing the internet through their mobile phones – the smartphone revolution has made this possible !
- And 7% do so through tablets.

- 28 percent of online time is spent on Social Media (predominantly Facebook) and Facebook Advertising provides opportunities for Advertising and Marketing.
- 13% is micro blogging (which again is predominantly around Twitter and the likes) and the rest of the activities are a mix of updating blogs, reading news, watching TV or online and other activities.
What does all this translate to, when people are spending so much time on media ? Simply put, this provides a huge opportunity for Businesses to reach out to them during that time. There’s also informed decision-making due to the number of choices made available.
Understandably, the objectives of Digital Marketing are additional Marketing to drive Sales and Leads through clicks to your Digital asset (Website, Mobile App, Social Media, Videos) and/or increasing brand awareness.
