Internet marketing or digital marketing, is the fastest growing type of promotion for brands and companies to connect with potential customers. There are as many specializations within digital marketing as there are ways of interacting using digital media. This study evaluates and describes the usage of social media marketing as most common type of digital marketing used for self-promotion of the pharmacy sector in the Republic of North Macedonia. Social media marketing is raising brand awareness by engaging people in discussion online. The most popular platforms for social media marketing are Facebook and Instagram. For the purpose of the analysis, data from social network profiles Facebook and Instagram and from the websites of the 1000 pharmacies is used. This data includes: profile content, frequency of posts of health related articles and products, presence of relevant information and links to sites from which the content is shared, frequency of posting offers and sales at the pharmacy. The conducted research shows that the use of Internet as a digital marketing tool in Republic of North Macedonia is not sufficiently developed, especially when websites are used as a marketing tool for promotion of the pharmacy business and their services. The results show that Facebook as social media is used most frequently for posting health advices, promotion of new products and answering customer’s questions. Promotion of the professional pharmaceutical services is lower than the promotion of products. This leads to insufficient data for the implementation of the principles of evidence-based medicine in daily practice. Keywords: Internet marketing, digital marketing, social media marketing, promotion, pharmacies, Facebook, Instagram, website

The paper is devoted to the problems of using digital (digital) marketing tools by small businesses. The essence of digital marketing is clarified, its differences from Internet marketing are analyzed. The tasks of marketing activities of small enterprises in the digital environment are determined. The features of the use of individual digital marketing tools are considered: search engine optimization (SEO), contextual advertising, media context advertising, email marketing, social media marketing (SMM). In addition, the paper examines the main trends in the development of digital marketing in Ukraine and abroad, draws conclusions about the prospects for using various digital technologies in small businesses in the coming years. One of the main tasks of digital marketing is to connect offline audiences to the company's online channels. For example, advertising messages in an offline environment can lead potential customers to the company's website or its page on the social network. Each small business selects communication channels based on the specifics of their own business, available resources and the characteristics of the target audience. For some companies it will be acceptable to use only online tools, for others this direction will be ineffective or unprofitable. Therefore, an important component of the process of developing and implementing digital marketing policy is testing different channels of communication with the consumer. In today's rapidly transforming digital marketing environment, the regular introduction of new information and communication technologies and methods of working with mobile and Internet content to succeed in a highly competitive market, small businesses are no longer enough to use Internet marketing tools. These tools need to be integrated with offline promotion channels and develop comprehensive marketing solutions based on the characteristics and needs of a particular business. These decisions should cover all areas of marketing activities: from market research and product positioning to advertising. Entrepreneurs need to take into account changes in the psychology of consumers of digital information and adjust their marketing campaigns in accordance with the most current trends in the digital environment.

Purpose This paper aims to examine branding strategies directed at child consumers, used by six high fat, sugar and salt food brands across three different digital marketing platforms. It identifies brand relationship building potential in this digital context. Design/methodology/approach This study analyses the contents of branded mobile phone applications, branded websites (including advergames) and branded Facebook sites to understand the nature of young consumer–brand relationship strategies that marketers are developing in this digital media marketing environment. Findings The use of sophisticated integrated branding strategies in immersive online media creates the potential for marketers to build relationships between young consumers and brands at an interactive, direct and social level not seen in traditional media. Categories of relationships and brand tactics are identified as outcomes of this analysis and linked to brand relationship building potential. Research limitations/implications The results suggest that branded communication strategies that food companies use in the online environment are creating conditions that appeal to young consumers, fostering new ways to build brand relationships. As this is a dynamic medium in a fluid state of change, this exploratory study identifies and categorises the marketing strategy, but not the young consumers’ response to such branding strategies (a limitation). Originality/value This study details the potential for child–brand relationship building in the context of online branding environments. It identifies the potential for longer-term effects of embedded advertising directly to young consumers, within and across three digital media platforms.

In early 2020, Jain diaspora communities and organizations that had been painstakingly built over the past decades were faced with the far-reaching consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and its concomitant restrictions. With the possibility of regular face-to-face contact and participation in recurring events—praying, eating, learning, and meditating together—severely limited in most places, organizations were compelled to make a choice. They either had to suspend their activities, leaving members to organize their religious activities on an individual or household basis, or pursue the continuation of some of their habitual activities in an online format, relying on their members’ motivation and technical skills. This study will explore how many Jain organizations in London took to digital media in its different forms to continue to engage with their members throughout 2020. Looking at a selection of websites and social media channels, it will examine online discourses that reveal the social and mental impact of the pandemic on Jains and the broader community, explore the relocation of activities to the digital realm, and assess participation in these activities. In doing so, this article will open a discussion on the long-term effects of this crisis-induced digital turn in Jain religious praxis, and in socio-cultural life in general.

This case is used in Darden’s “Digital Marketing” course elective. It explores the experience of a niche search firm whose founder attributed her ability to open her recruiting firm to LinkedIn and the new model of recruiting it created. LinkedIn Corporation had been one of the most successful companies in the digital media space, with more than 4,000 employees and a market capitalization of over $25.5 billion in August 2013. But few people knew how LinkedIn had grown and how it had become profitable. LinkedIn had multiple unique aspects to explore: its focus on professional--not simply personal--social interaction, the company’s B2B components, and also its marketing positioning from user experience to targeting and growth strategy.
