How would you differentiate between digital and affiliate marketing?
Digital marketing is a broad term that refers to many strategies used to sell and advertise products on numerous digital platforms. Digital marketing is the umbrella term for all kinds of online marketing practices. It has several different components including affiliate marketing. Digital marketing is not just about selling a product or service. It deploys various tactics (free and paid) across all digital channels (brand website ranking, social media, email, etc) to grow a brand by resolving genuine queries of customers. Affiliate marketing is a specific type of online marketing in which the marketer is only compensated based on a pre-agreed percentage of revenue of the product/service sold as a result of marketing activities. Affiliate marketing is a specific form of promotional service, where the more customers to draw, the more profit you earn.
What are the challenges of the digital marketing business?
Digital marketing is a function that continues to innovate, with emerging trends year in and year out. Like other businesses, it comes with several challenges and they include but are not limited to the following: Privacy-driven by consumers which reduces the impact of targeted advertising, fraudulent clicks from Bots and bad actors, and consumers’ lack of trust in completing purchases online.
How have you been able to live through these challenges?
Reaching the right audience at the right time with relevant content is still a huge challenge for most brands, as the sheer number of digital tools and tactics out there on the market can make digital campaigns extremely complicated.
