However, this whole must also be determined within a plan, a strategy.

An online Digital Marketing Strategy marketing strategy helps you grow your company by driving more valuable traffic to your page and getting more leads that convert into conversions.

A good digital marketing strategy determines your goals, defines your target audience accordingly, analyzes the target market, examines your competitors, produces a perfect SWOT analysis of your business, determines the ideal customer profile, then defines the digital marketing channels and how your potential customers can buy from you.
So, once the digital marketing strategy is determined, where to start digital marketing, how to do it?
How is Digital Marketing Done?
As mentioned above, “Digital Marketing Strategy” provides a framework for which online marketing channels you should use and how you should use them to achieve the right goals. The action plan prepared afterwards (often called the “digital marketing plan”) allows you to successfully create and launch your online marketing strategy within this strategy.
The digital marketing plan is an action plan in accordance with the digital marketing strategy that determines the intermediate goals in order to achieve the final goals in the digital environment of the company, defines on which channel, with which tool, how, when, the actions will be done.
To give a simple example, the use of the Linkedin channel, the final target audience here, the final goal and the result to be reached, the budget and time to be spent on this channel are the subject of the digital marketing strategy. The digital marketing plan, on the other hand, determines in which months, with which campaigns, with which advertising models, with which content, in how and how often the shares will be made in line with the budget allocated for Linkedin. In other words, the strategy determines the framework, and what will be done within this framework is the digital marketing plan.
In order to carry out a digital marketing activity, it is necessary to know the digital marketing tools and platforms well. If we go through the same example, Linkedin is a platform, and the advertising work or account management carried out here is also a digital marketing tool. Without further ado, let’s move on to digital marketing tools.
