What is Online Marketing?
‘Online Marketing’ simply refers to the process of advertising and selling products / services over the Internet.
Over recent times the use of online shopping and browser search for business services has expanded greatly. Today over 40% of Australians regularly utilise the Internet for shopping and many completely bypass online business listings such as the yellow pages, opting for a simple google search instead. A world of goods and services is readily available online.
