Digital media is the fastest-growing advertising method for businesses of all sizes to market their products. An effective digital media campaign can improve your performance immeasurably. Like any advertising campaign, it needs to be well-planned and targeted to the correct audience in the proper format. Let's look at a few digital marketing tools available.
Sometimes called banner ads, display ads are rectangular boxes on a website or page strictly reserved for advertising. The display ad is prominent and lets the user know it's an advertisement. Display ads can have enormous potential to generate leads from a targeted audience and achieve a high ROI when placed on the proper media. There is also rich media which include video and audio.
Sales and lead focused ads target a specific market on social media to generate sales and leads. For example, you can target your Facebook ads to display to men aged between 25 and 30 if that is your primary target market. These type of ads fall into the following categories:

Email advertising is an excellent advertising method with a high ROI. The aim is to allow interested parties to opt-in to an email informational campaign or newsletter. An effective emailing campaign must target an interested audience and provide relevant content. Emails that don't provide interesting or relevant content are either ignored or reported as spam, defeating the campaign's goals. You should also schedule emails to reach the recipients when they are most likely to read them. Adding enjoyable content means that your customers look forward to receiving your emails. They may even forward them to friends, increasing your reach at no extra cost.
