Hence it has become inevitable for brands to convert their business into online platform and interact with their audience digitally.

Going digital has provided brands with tremendous opportunities. It has the potential to reach masses with lesser costs. Let us say that you have a shop in Dubai mainland. The proximity to residential area attracts approximately 100 footfalls per day and converts at an average of optimistic 20. But since your shop is located in the mainland, there are chances that you are paying hefty rents and maintenance costs. If you open up your shop in Free Zone, you won’t be attracting so many footfalls per day. Thus cost of acquisition per customer is higher. Now say you open a website and go online. Website cost is a capital cost, unlike rent. You spread your legs in different social media which is almost free and pay them a fee for micro targeting. Here within few weeks, you will attract higher traction than your offline shop and although the conversion rate is prominently low than offline store, the sales in terms of absolute volume is usually 10 times the offline store and cost of acquisition is usually 20% lesser than offline store.
