Today, the average person spends more time online than on TV and other media. Filipinos are no exception; they spend more than five hours on the internet daily. The web’s impact on our entertainment and habits is enormous. And that’s why every organization that wants to reach out to people needs a digital marketing strategy. This is why our past e-mails were all focused on the different approaches to digital marketing.
But Which Digital Strategy Will Help You Reach Goals?
There are different approaches to digital marketing. It includes:
Social Media

Each has their particular pros and cons and taking on a single strategy can’t address all your marketing problems.

A strategy with more questions that are relevant to your situation is more likely to be the one that you need to focus on.
