Fundamentally, Digital Marketing encompasses all marketing efforts conducted using electronic devices or the Internet. It involves using various online channels and strategies to reach potential and existing customers, connect with them, and convert them into buyers.
In Urdu, Digital Marketing can be referred to as رقمی بازارکاری (Raqaami Bazarkari) or انٹرنیٹ بازارکاری (Internet Bazarkari). This is quite different from traditional marketing methods, as it emphasizes direct interaction with consumers and the clear measurement of results.
