The advantages of digital marketing include in particular [3]:

Social media marketing

It is one of the subgroups of digital media marketing that allows society to communicate, search for information, learn and access extraordinary things. This tool is particularly popular with young people who are most familiar with new technologies. The use of blogs and social networks makes them able to contact people from other continents. Through social media they are able to obtain valuable information about other people, the world or events in the whole world. Nevertheless, and most importantly, social media have created the need to promote entrepreneurs online [4].

In addition, people began to sell their products online on an unprecedented scale. Portals such as Amazon and Aliexpress have become part of their habits. With the help of digital marketing, we can see the growth of countries that were relatively underdeveloped in the past.

Traditional marketing vs Digital Inbound Marketing

As it is pointed out in literature (Opreana A. 2015) [5]:

„Measurement is what makes marketing a science, rather than a simple tool. To measure the effectiveness of a campaign of digital inbound marketing (DIM), an organization needs to monitor different types of web analytics. For a successful online marketing campaign, it is necessary to study which tactics work and which need adjustments in order to create relevant content that is syndicated on various outlets, including the organization’s website. The main objective is to yield results of attracting more leads or converting leads into customers.”
