superiornih ponuda kao i prilagođavanje promjenama u okruženju.

Abstract:

Direct marketing through digital media creates additional value for both, consumers and
businesses and the achievement of their business goals because it is targeted at certain consumer
groups. Targeted promotion allows the marketing message to reach the target group of consumers,
as well as measuring the effectiveness of the marketing message through response, and the creation
of databases on consumers and their needs and desires. A unique approach to consumers with the use
of modern technology for communication with consumers is important not only for understanding the
consumer’s needs, desires or for developing relationships, but also for positioning and differentiating
a product or service in relation to competition, creating superior offers and adapting to changes in the
environment.
The paper presents models of communication with end consumers through direct and digital marketing
as well as the importance of developing a digital marketing strategy for businesses for business success
and improvement.

Keywords:

Direct marketing, Digital marketing, Marketing strategies.
