Internet marketing is a practice that can be leveraged in order to build brand loyalty, just as brand loyalty is capable of being leveraged for internet marketing purposes. There is a synergy created between these two concepts that can be vitally important in building the success of a company. As internet marketing evolves as a concept, a whole new world of mediums has opened up, allowing companies to engage customers in new and interesting ways. Targeted online campaigns, social media marketing, sponsored advertising and organic advertising are now being utilized for the purpose of building brand loyalty; and it is working!
Social media marketing and social network marketing are two excellent examples of how a business can leverage internet marketing for the purpose of building brand awareness. For example, companies can utilize Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Digg, Blogger, WordPress and even Wikipedia to get messages across in a way that is far less intrusive to the internet masses simply by participating in the community rather than spamming an advertisement. This has made it possible for creative companies to flourish by tapping into a completely new level of marketing that is well received by internet users around the world.
Loyalty marketing is an approach to marketing, based on strategic management, in which a company focuses on growing and retaining existing customers through incentives. Branding, product marketing and loyalty marketing all form part of the customer proposition – the subjective assessment by the customer of whether to purchase a brand or not based on the integrated combination of the value they receive from each of these marketing disciplines.
