Digital marketing facts for kids

Digital marketing is a way businesses advertise and sell their products or services using the internet. It uses online tools like search engines, social media, and email to connect with people who might be interested in what they offer.

Because almost everyone uses computers and cell phones today, marketing has changed a lot. Businesses now use the internet to reach customers all over the world.

Digital marketing is different from older ways of advertising, called traditional marketing. Traditional marketing uses things like billboards, radio ads, or newspaper stories. Digital marketing, however, uses online tools such as social media posts, blog articles, and emails to tell people about a business and its products.
