Marketing in general can benefit a business because that is the process a business is introduced to other people. The internet is massive, it has a larger audience than anything else out there. There are a number of key and secondary benefits of marketing online.

The internet will introduce businesses to new customers. No longer are businesses confined to a particular location, but now it is much easier, cheaper and faster to connect to more people.

Internet marketing does not cost as much as traditional marketing. Older methods of marketing such as billboards, newspapers, business cards and even television can cost a company a lot of their marketing budget. Internet marketing is cheap and effective at the same time.

The speed and urgency of the internet cannot be matched by any other kind of marketing. It is instant and people can be informed about a brand or product in the quickest possible time.

Marketing tools online can give businesses insight. This can be in forms of actual customer feedback or more broken down data taken from Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, Webmaster Tools, etc. For instance, a business can know what is really popular in their market by understanding customer behavior from Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools.

Internet marketing if done right will definitely have a positive impact on sales. While there are already direct sales websites such as TripAdvisor for tourism businesses and eBay and Alibaba for eCommerce, there are also indirect ways to increase sales. Companies who invest in email marketing get repeat customers. Introduction of promotions can be easily promoted on Facebook and Instagram.

While there are many more benefits of internet marketing such as expression of creativity, data analysis, viral videos that can hyper promote brands or even ability to market 24/7, the biggest benefit of online marketing is that it helps build a relationship between a brand and a business. A billboard represents a street corner, a television ad represents the broadcasting company, the newspaper ad represents the publishing company. Marketing and advertising on old media benefits the business, however it also benefits the medium that is being used. If a business runs an ad during a football match, the popularity is credited to the football match, however if businesses advertise online, then the relationship is more personal between your brand and the audience. Your emails are personal to the customer, your advertisements are personal to the customers Facebook and Instagram account, your video ads are personal to their YouTube accounts. Internet marketing can help a business build a healthy relationship with their customers.
