25. Principles of digital
marketing
To think digital, marketers need to completely erase what is in their heads.
They then need to use the following principles:
1. Most analog marketing hits the wrong people, or the right people at the
wrong time. Digital is more efficient and more impactful because it can hit only
the right people, and only at the right time.
2. There are many digital media. But the most powerful is digitally enhanced
word of mouth. Use it with care though – you can’t use it to buy your way to
success.
3. In the analog era, marketing was about getting people to think things so they
might do things. Digital media are interactive, so it’s the other way round. Marketing is
now about getting people to do the things.
25
26. Principles of digital
marketing
4. Think what people do after the click, search marketing will not be that much
helpful, if the content is not ready.
5. Keeping people waiting is a sin. Remember it when you are making your brand
website.
6. Don’t wait for the dust to settle. Marketers need to adopt a permanent beta
mentality in their marketing planning.
7. Web 2.0 is all about consumers working together. Work out how to collaborate
with them too in the channel of we.
26
27. Principles of digital
marketing
8. Handle privacy issues carefully. You don’t need tons of information about a
consumer to influence them.
9. Work on predicting the future. Marketing, and media are now moving faster
than you think.
10. Many things were better when they were analog. Just because it’s digital,
doesn’t means it’s better.
27
28. Things can go bad
Digital marketing is a new thing, so you may have to educate your consumers
to get used to with it.
Always prepare a back up plan.
Success can come to your doorstep at a slow rate.
Handle the negative issues with care.
Covering your ear is not a viable strategy.
Don’t interrupt the conversation. Get yourself into it.
It’s a continuous process. It can’t be terminated once it’s started.
