Digital marketing is a marketing that applies technologies or platforms such as websites, e-
mail, apps (classic and mobile) and social networks. Social Media Marketing is a component of
digital marketing. Many organizations use a combination of traditional and digital marketing
channels; however, digital marketing is becoming more popular with marketers as it allows
them to track their return on investment more accurately compared to other traditional
marketing channels. Hence the necessity to have its own digital strategy on the social networks!

Finally we can say that social networks are becoming increasingly important nowadays in
both "number" and "power". Trademarks are just beginning to be aware and try nowadays
to approach on this "new channel of communication."
This communication channel affects a potential target very focused and very large via
multiple types of social networks that exist.
But many companies are still reluctant to launch their brand on social networks because the
e-reputation and image of the company is too risky and requires not only expertise but an
exceptional sense of feeling and a great and credible influence on the public to project the
benefits of virtual market in the physical market.
