website visitors through the company without incurring the time that its
employees may waste in answering the various questions.

restrict the movement of information, and this enables the organization to
reach consumers in places that it was not considering accessing with the
traditional party.

Types of e-marketing:
Some marketing experts believe that enterprise
marketing can be categorized into three main types
1- External Marketing:
Marketing Extenal, which is linked
to traditional marketing functions such as design and implementation of the
marketing mix (product, price, distribution, promotion)
2- Marketing lnternal:
It relates to workers inside the organization, as the organization must follow effective policies to train
workers and motivate them to communicate well with customers and support
workers to work as a team that seeks to satisfy the needs and desires of
customers. Every individual in the organization must be directed in his work
with clients It is not sufficient to have a section in the institutions for
doing the traditional work of the marketing function and the rest of the
individuals or departments each in another direction
3- Interactive Marketing:
It is related to the idea of the
quality of services and goods provided to customers, which depend fundamentally
and intensively on the quality and relationship between the seller and the
buyer. The concept of digital marketing does not differ from these traditional
concepts of marketing except with regard to the means of communication with
customers. Where digital marketing depends on the Internet as a fast, easy and
low-cost means of communication in order to implement these works that constitute
the main types of marketing in its traditional form.
There are other types of electronic marketing including:
1- E-Marketing directed to the final consumer:
It is marketing that is based on electronic means and the target of which is
the consumer
2- E-Marketing between Establishments:
This
type of marketing that focuses on electronic means, which achieves a
correlation relationship between enterprises and each other, which maximizes
the benefits of these establishments.

Digital Marketing Characteristics:
Digital Marketing has the following characteristics:
A- Extensive service:
Digital marketing is distinguished from it, providing a wider service and customers dealing with the marketing site can deal with it at any
time without the owner of the site knowing the decision of its e-mail message
unless the customer calls A and can also monitor visitors to its site.
B- The universality of digital marketing:
The media used in digital marketing do not know
the geographical boundaries so that marketing can be from anywhere the customer
is located through his personal computer on the company’s website, with a
warning that the laws governing e-commerce will not be crystallized, especially
as they relate to safety Business deals
C- The speed of changing concepts:
Digital marketing is characterized by the rapid
change of concepts, the activities it covers and the rules it rules, because
e-commerce is linked to the means of electronic communication technologies and
information technologies that change and develop rapidly, so the legal
arrangements that are subject to them are subject to rapid change in a way that
is compatible with Trade union developments, communications and information
W-The importance of advertising via the international network:
The element of excitement
and user attention should be used for electronic messages, as is the case in
television advertisements, given the number of companies that offer their
electronic messages.
A- Deception and phantom companies:
its importance increases with caution from untruthful
marketing that does not carry real content, because it is easy to publish this
information about the company via the internet and that one of the clients may
be exposed to a situation from this phantom or non-committed company, such as
dealing with a stolen credit card or Providing guarantees for
post-manufacturing services without committing to actual implementation, or by
claiming the bank’s capacity to collect funds and offering inducements to
obtain lucrative returns and other methods, as the issue of paying the purchase
amounts of goods and services by sending credit card numbers over the network
is still not secure .
H- Narrowing the distance between companies:
Digital marketing classifies the distances
between giant and small companies in terms of production, distribution and
human competencies, so that small companies can gain access via the internet to
the international market without having the infrastructure of huge
multinational companies and make them stand on the foot Equality with these
companies in competition, due to the use of the same method in the
implementation of sales and purchases and providing various types of services
electronically, as is the case of the distribution of music, laser discs and
video films.
G- Acceptance of means of promotion via the network:
With the international nature of
digital marketing, cultural differences and cultural sensitivities play an
important role in this, especially with regard to the methods used for
promotion so that a nation can accept promotional means and is compatible with
its cultural mentality and another that rejects it and takes a position from it
Hostile.
D- Absence of paper documents:
In digital marketing, transactions are executed
electronically without the need to use paper, especially products that accept
numbering, from the negotiation process until the delivery of goods until the
price is received, and this has raised the issue of proving contracts and the
validity of digital signatures, which called on international organizations to
place A legal framework for electronic commerce, signature and payment
electronically

stages, as illustrated by Little Arthur. Arthur's e-marketing model has four

the institution and the consumer, and here the institution works to provide
products and services, and the consumer provides the required price, and there
