A wide variety of technologies and techniques are used in online marketing to promote goods and services. Due to the additional outlets and marketing tools made available by the internet, online marketing encompasses a broader variety of marketing components than conventional marketing. CRM (customer relationship management) technologies and consumer data are both utilized in effective online marketing campaigns. Online marketing is well known for taking business development to a much higher level than conventional marketing by connecting businesses with qualified potential clients. By building a company's online presence across the Internet, it additionally helps the company increase brand awareness.

The major drawback of online marketing is its lack of tangibility, which prevents customers from examining or trying on potential purchases. The major way to get around such buyer anxiety is to have generous return policies. Online marketing continues to experience rapid growth and has just surpassed traditional advertising in sales.
