    Digital marketing is not a common term in Bangladesh yet. People in Bangladesh might be familiar with the activities of digital marketing, but they don’t know what it means actually. In Bangladesh digital marketing is creating its own place in the field of marketing.  But still this field needs more improvement. The brand in Bangladesh should start up their marketing more in the digital world. The traditional marketing is more expensive and it can spread out through a particular channel and area. But, digital marketing can grow globally which can spread the market more. As digital marketing creates brand engagement. Industries in Bangladesh are still not aware of digital marketing.

    Bangladesh’s Government aims to make Bangladesh as Digital Bangladesh by 2020. So the government has taken every step to make the country digitally sound. From public sector to private sector, every official work has been started digitally. Similarly, the government is encouraging more to develop the economy of the country with digital help. The growing number of e-marketing proves the sound growth of the marketing digitally all over the country.
    There is complexity so making a way through is a perfect solution.
    Though digital marketing is increasing rapidly, but still there is some limitation for what the market growth has been hampered. First of all, still people in Bangladesh have limited knowledge about digital marketing. Moreover, the market still could not create trust on people’s mind. People don’t feel secured to pay online by using their cards. Some online shopping site does not deliver the same goods has been displayed in their website. So, to make the market more available to the people, the authority should make the digital market more proper and secured, only then they can win the trust of the people. Once the trust is gained, then there is no break in the growth and development of digital marketing.
