How does it promote itself digitally?

All big businesses need to ensure people are aware of their brand, they could do this by the traditionally like poster and adverts. However nowadays most businesses like to use the Internet to promote themselves, this is because the online world is a growing market. The fact that it is a growing market means that a lot more people are likely recognise the company and its products.  

Microsoft is the biggest technology currently on the market, the reason they are so big is that they have a strong advertising campaign, they use many online methods to ensure they get the relevant information across in the most efficient way. One of the biggest methods they that they are available on all social media sites. Microsoft believe by having social media sites it allows customers to “with real people’s stories, resulting in more believable campaigns “(Social Advertising, Microsoft, 2015). They believe that having customers experiences of their products means that potential customers can see others think of their product. One of the new methods that companies are starting to use is in Ad advertising. Microsoft have also started to use this method with many of their new products. Such things like “New in-banner video options and web-extensions of several Ads in Apps formats” (Ads in Apps, Microsoft, 2015). Microsoft believe “Ads in Apps has won over consumers and advertisers by reimagining ad experiences” (Ads in Apps, Microsoft, 2015). In my personal opinion I believe that this method is one of best especially nowadays as many people use apps. This then means consumers are more likely to know about new products whereas as in the past they would of needed to wait until is advertised in shop windows.
