Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital marketing, applications, technologies and social media has led to a fundamental shift in the way businesses engage with consumers and share information and ideas with consumers. Digital marketing is an essential factor in marketing products and services to attract and retain customers and enhance the company's brand and consumer satisfaction. However, small and medium sized businesses lack digital marketing skills, receive limited management support, and struggle to promote, market, and attract customers to their products and services. The purpose of this study is to examine the value and impact of digital marketing on the competitive participation of small and medium-sized establishments in the business environment. The research would further envisage whether digital marketing can have a significant impact on the consistent growth and success of SMEs, improving brand recognition and strengthening customer relationships.
