A digital marketing strategy helps in many ways for example:

• A strategy gives you direction
  Many companies without a digital marketing strategy lack clear strategic goals. This makes it difficult to allocate sufficient resources to individual marketing activities and even more difficult to measure, through analytics, whether you’re hitting your targets.

• It enables you to better understand your market share
  It doesn’t matter if you have a digital marketing degree. Without a clear strategy, you could easily underestimate the demand for your digital services. Moreover, it’s likely that you won’t fully understand the dynamics of the online marketplace including customer behaviors, competitors, and customer profiles.  

• It helps you develop an effective value proposition
  The online marketplace is very competitive. In order to succeed, you need to differentiate yourself and stand tall among the crowd. Only a well-thought digital marketing strategy can help you with this.

• You’ll better understand your customers
  Understanding your digital customers requires more than just analytics. You need to utilize other forms of website feedback tools to identify and address your weak points.

• Avoid time and resource-wasting duplication
  Sometimes you’ll find different parts of a marketing department purchasing different tools or using different agencies to accomplish similar marketing tasks. You can eliminate such costly duplication with an effective digital marketing strategy.

• Avoid the risks that come with disintegration
  Marketing that is accomplished in silos, where the digital marketer sits in the IT department, is a disaster waiting to happen. Digital marketing is most productive when integrated with traditional media and response channels.
