Impact Of Digital Marketing On Society And Economic Growth

Image
Digital Marketing’s origins can be traced to SoftAd Group, now ChannelNet where people who would send in their queries and replies would get a floppy disk in their mail that contained digital information about several major automobile companies that had approached the firm. This was in the 1980s but it was only in 1990 that the term ‘digital marketing’ has been coined. In the 2000s it became a household name and statistics of 2010 showed that this industry is ever-growing and showing no signs of slowing down.

AUGMENTED REALITY MARKET AR has been predicted to reach a potential of 2 Billion US Dollars by the end of 2018 and this figure is expected to rise to a staggering 120 Billion US Dollars by the year 2020.
