Abstract

Information and communication technology has played a fundamental role in various aspects of human life and has brought about fundamental changes in the ways of doing daily and professional activities. Digital communication tools, such as the Internet, social networks, communication software and other new technologies, are now an integral part of the contemporary human lifestyle. This pervasiveness and penetration of digital tools has provided an unprecedented opportunity, especially for business managers and business activists; because never before has fast and targeted access to audiences and consumers been possible to such an extent.
The gradual connection and integration of people's daily lives with the digital space has provided the basis for the emergence of a new concept called "digital marketing". In this new framework, marketing methods and strategies using digital tools allow business owners to have a greater chance of survival, development and expansion of their activities in the new competitive environment. The importance of digital marketing is increasing at a remarkable pace in line with the rapid technological developments, and businesses that cannot adapt to these changes are at risk of falling behind and being eliminated from the market.
This article aims to explain the concept of digital marketing and analyze the role of digital tools in the success of businesses. The main focus of the research is to examine and identify the factors that have made digital marketing a vital element for the development and competitiveness of economic enterprises. In order to achieve this goal, the research method is a combination of descriptive, documentary and library approaches, and the data analysis has been carried out qualitatively. An attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive and practical perspective on the subject by collecting and analyzing reliable sources and using scientific studies, so that it can be a guide for managers and economic activists in facing the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.
The results of this study indicate that the improvement and success of businesses in today's world is not possible without the targeted use of digital marketing and modern communication tools. In addition to facilitating access to the target market, communication technologies have provided the possibility of continuous interaction with customers, analyzing consumer behavior, and improving the quality of services and products. Thus, digital marketing is considered not only a technological approach but also a strategic necessity in today's rapidly changing business environment.
