Types of marketing 

Event Marketing

Event marketing is a marketing type aimed at promoting a company and its products through events. Organizing or participating in events increases brand awareness, helps you showcase your capabilities, find partners, and build strong relationships with customers. Event marketing usually involves direct interaction with brand personnel. This tactic, often associated with experiential marketing, requires significantly more time and investment than social media posting.

5K-sponsored pop-up stores, trade shows, ceremonies, product launch celebrations, and networking events are all forms of event marketing. Since the event depends entirely on the company and its audience or customers, a marketing event can take on any kind you can dream of. 

Think about what kind of event you can share with potential clients. It should convey the interests of your audience in the first place. After the event, they should have a favorable opinion of your brand, product, or service.

Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

Search engine marketing (also known as pay-per-click or PPC) is a marketing method in which companies pay to have a link to their website appear prominently on search engine results pages. Brands should prioritize SEO because it is the most feasible and cost-effective strategy to understand and engage customers at critical times.

Two contrasting methods can be used for search engine marketing: paid search and organic traffic growth. While paid search results are almost instantaneous, organic growth takes a little longer. On the other hand, organic growth produces significant results over a more extended period and is also free, making it the best SEM practice.
