In this case, effective marketing enables the collection of data to understand more about the targeted consumers, allowing advertising and other strategies to be more directed. In addition, this was initiated to deeply understand how the digital marketing strategies of online business sellers work. Based on the literature review, the researchers identified the following themes: digitalization and digital marketing, digital and traditional modes of marketing, social media as a digital marketing strategy, information technologies as marketing tactics, e-commerce during the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding online, internet, mobile, and digital marketing, preferences, and future research directions, and implications. In conclusion, digital marketing has surpassed traditional marketing. These elements affect the digital marketing skills gap. Internet ads are getting more widespread. Firms' perceptions of the value of digital marketing can be classified. An integrated approach is required to meet client needs using digital marketing channels. To succeed in this new market, businesses must first understand their clients' lifestyles. Digital marketing has evolved into an internet advertising platform for small business owners, despite a lack of funds to update technology and harness internet development. Advertising on social media is attracting the attention of digital marketers. Because of the potential market share gains that social media marketing could give for internet marketers, it is expected that social advertising spending will continue to grow in the coming years.

Since everyone knows how to use social media and everything is found online, a firm must have an online presence. A digital marketing strategy helps a company better identify and address client needs (Lockett, 2018). On the other hand, traditional marketing strategies like print ads and huge billboards don't always work (Noromor, 2020). Flood (2019) expects global retail will grow 4.4% to $26.460 trillion by 2020. But it reduces retail and e-commerce projections by 10% and 2%, respectively. In the Philippines, Malaysia, and Spain, ecommerce sales should climb 20% this year. In 2019, the coronavirus wreaked havoc in all three. It's still difficult to think about digital marketing in 2020. Brands and digital agencies must collaborate, not compete. Digital ad spending is rising (Jazbec, 2020). The Philippines has significant e-commerce potential since young Filipinos purchase online. By 2025, e-commerce will triple. Ad spending in the Philippines increased 9.7% in 2019 and is expected to reach $662 million by 2020. The value of digital ads is $342 million, growing 4.4% annually. It's gaining traction. A brand's preferred digital marketing tool in terms of reach, time spent on the channel, and expense. A third of Filipinos use social media to shop (Osorio 2017). Therefore, it is significant to determine the impact of digital marketing techniques on online retailers and customers, as well as the outcomes. 1.2 Background of the Study The world faces a pandemic. In the Philippines' case, it had a huge social and economic impact, and it still does. Many workers lost their employment, many became unemployed, and many businesses had to close due to the situation. Also, numerous businesses closed due to bankruptcies. Many business owners find a way to survive. Since so many transactions are now digital, so have negotiations and business transactions. In this situation, there is an increase in engagement during difficult circumstances. Many of their marketing methods are 'online' or 'digital' effective. In which the "Internet" and "Social Media" are used as negotiation tools. Promoting products and services via "social media" is essential. A marketing strategy is a thorough plan for attaining a marketing goal or collection of goals. Everything is digital now, and technology is part of our daily lives in ways that can overwhelm us (Bersin, 2016). Digitalization now affects both consumer and industrial marketing. Industrial marketing researchers and practitioners must comprehend this. Recognize it by practicing it is to know digital marketing's current capabilities (Herhausen et al., 2020). In that instance, digital marketing can help internet firms reach a global audience. Among all modern marketing techniques, digital marketing and social media are becoming the most significant. Digital marketing is now 142 AJMESC, February 2022 Copyright © 2022 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Asian Journal of Management Entrepreneurship and Social Sciene ISSN: 2808 7399 https://ajmesc.com/index.php/ajmesc Volume 02 Issue 01 often regarded as the most important marketing component (Mandal et al., 2017). Online retailers may save money, reach more customers at a cheaper cost than traditional marketing tactics, and establish brand loyalty by getting to know their customers. Because a lot has changed, and internet businesses help many people with their income, having an online business is crucial now when our country is undergoing a pandemic. Online shopping is one of the hottest trends today. You sell goods online, especially to young people. You make money by selling online from the comfort of your own home. Digital marketing, as the name implies, is a strategy, approach, or activity in digital branding and marketing. Digital marketing is the online development of a brand, product, or service. As a result, inbound marketing has become a vital component of digital marketing. Understanding customer motivations helps to better understand what drives consumers to generate and share content about a brand or shop. Digital marketing is cheap and has a big commercial impact. Inbound marketing is a crucial component of digital marketing since it builds trust and client loyalty (Atienza & Tabuena, 2021; Baltes, 2016). Therefore, this study aimed to examine the digital marketing strategies used by online business sellers during the COVID-19 crisis. Based on the literature review (Tabuena, Hilario, & Buenaflor, 2021; Tabuena, 2020) using the qualitative descriptive research design (Tabuena, 2021; Tabuena & Hilario, 2021), concerned with establishing answers to the whys and hows of the phenomenon in question (DJS Research Ltd, 2021), the researchers identified the following themes: digitalization and digital marketing, digital and traditional modes of marketing, social media as a digital marketing strategy, information technologies as marketing tactics, e-commerce during the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding online, internet, mobile, and digital marketing, preferences, and future research directions, and implications, as follows. 2 2.1 Discussion Digitalization and Digital Marketing Accelerating the process of digitalizing business operations, digitalization is about approaching problems differently—creating new business models through the use of digital technologies. It is not simply a matter of automating or integrating technology into existing processes (digitalization) to optimize the existing value chain. However, to go further, modifying the business model, reorganizing the value chain, and developing a new supply of products and services (caused by the well before integration of digital technologies into products and services), which results in a new and improved way to provide customer value. Data-driven, ongoing technology development has 143 AJMESC, February 2022 Copyright © 2022 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Asian Journal of Management Entrepreneurship and Social Sciene ISSN: 2808 7399 https://ajmesc.com/index.php/ajmesc Volume 02 Issue 01 resulted in the creation of new business opportunities. Additionally, digitalization is a critical component of enhancing product processes in a variety of industries, which means that it is a crucial part of developing successful production and network plans and controls. By contrast, reports on data-driven innovations have increased the corporate environment's competitiveness (Flores et al., 2021). According to Santos (2020), among the advantages of digital marketing is that it is low-cost but successful at attracting clients 24 hours a day. Online marketing is the practice of advertising and selling items and services through the use of digital and virtual environments. In addition, online marketing has both advantages and disadvantages for online business sellers; its benefits include the elimination of the need for online stores because social media may act as their marketing platform, the ease with which they can reach clients via internet access, and the ability to have twoway discussions at their own pace. However, its limitations include the fact that some buyers still prefer to view and inspect products or services in person and are also unwilling to pay for transactions. Additionally, the business profile (years in operation, monthly net income, and online marketing training) has no bearing on the rewards and challenges encountered by online business sellers. Similarly, training in online marketing and the various types of online businesses (product-based, service-based, and product-and-service-based) has little bearing on the rewards and challenges encountered. Digital marketing and economic stability are interrelated, as an online business has a significant impact on economic growth. There is a high chance that online selling affects the growth and stability of our economy. Consumer behavior has a major effect on e-commerce. Due to the convenience of the practice, e-commerce is anticipated to continue to gain popularity. Local industries should embrace it rather than oppose this new reality. They can use digital marketing to develop a website and advertising campaigns that will put them in front of their target audiences. It is not tough to compete against giant corporations. It only needs a well-thought-out online strategy and a capable digital marketing business (Aque et al., 2021). 2.2 Digital and Traditional Modes of Marketing Digital marketing, enabled by mobile technologies, social media platforms, and eWOM, has become ingrained in our worldwide lives and has supplanted traditional modes of communication and marketing. Recently, the area of marketing has grown in sophistication as a result of the impact of intense global competition on numerous sectors through new technology. These factors influence customer behavior and tourist perceptions, in contrast to the traditional methods of marketing and advertising. 144 AJMESC, February 2022 Copyright © 2022 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Asian Journal of Management Entrepreneurship and Social Sciene ISSN: 2808 7399 https://ajmesc.com/index.php/ajmesc Volume 02 Issue 01 Consumers benefit from the new broad templates of digital technology, which supply a lot of information and numerous tourism services. With the advancement of technology and the changing habits of With the new generation, it is evident that businesses must embrace a new method of connecting with consumers, particularly in the tourist sector, where destination selections are no longer as diverse as they once were (Alghizzawi, 2019). In relation to the study of Finotto et al., (2020), digital marketing strategies are seen favorably in the wine business, particularly by small wineries, because of the richness of product and terroir communication, their apparent affordability in comparison to traditional marketing strategies, and the access to foreign markets they enable. While the value of digital marketing is well recognized, the reality is sobering: many wineries are behind the curve in terms of digital tool usage. In terms of new communication channels, the digital era has seen significant advancements in communications and marketing. As a result, businesses today attempt to embrace digital marketing channels to give customers the most appropriate services possible to increase their level of satisfaction. The findings indicated that, of the four identified factors, some components, including operational strategic factors and environmental factors, had a direct and beneficial effect on the development of a digital marketing skill gap. Environmental elements such as social and cultural circumstances, religion, technology, and economics all have a proactive effect on the digital marketing skills gap. Additionally, the results indicated that the abilities (Principles of Communication and Predicting the Future) had the largest and smallest skill gaps in digital marketing for the investigated organizations, respectively (Ghotbifar, 2017). 2.3 Social Media as a Digital Marketing Strategy According to Dewi (2020), Social media can be considered as a virtual medium that helps people enhance their social interactions. Through public relations, Wonderful Bali's digital marketing approach has succeeded in establishing a positive reputation among consumers due to the company's ability to connect effectively with them. Almost every business owner has used digital media to sell their products. Predictions of growing consumer power in the digital age before the turn of the century were enhanced by the Internet's advent and then rekindled by social media. Consumer behavior changes require businesses to rethink their digital marketing strategies. Currently, much of the research in this area is focused on the client rather than the firm. The second generation of Internet applications enriches marketing efforts by enabling businesses to experiment with new modes of communication and collaborate with their customers on content creation. The extent to which businesses 145 AJMESC, February 2022 Copyright © 2022 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Asian Journal of Management Entrepreneurship and Social Sciene ISSN: 2808 7399 https://ajmesc.com/index.php/ajmesc Volume 02 Issue 01 engage in digital marketing can be classified according to the perceived benefits and uses of the medium. To increase customer engagement through digital marketing, marketers must emphasize relationship-based interactions (Bizhanova, 2019). 2.4 Information Technologies as Marketing Tactics Furthermore, the expansion of information technologies and the internet has been one of the most significant shifts in the company world over the previous decade. The internal structure and organization of businesses have developed in response to the emergence of a digital environment shaped by internet business models and digital marketing (DM) approaches (Saura et al., 2019). According to Cammayo (2021), The MSMEs studies adopt digital marketing techniques, but to a "low" degree, with a grand mean of 1.1879. They continue to use traditional customer acquisition and retention techniques. They lack the abilities necessary to effectively utilize current technologies, such as email marketing, a Google "my business" account, and other forms of information exchange (ICT). Marketing tactics involving ICT have a major and direct impact on the financial success of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME). This means that by increasing the level of adoption of ICT-related marketing tactics, the MSME sector's financial performance will also improve. She discovered a significant correlation between e-commerce and organizational performance in Pakistan's banking sector. They contend that deploying e-commerce benefits an organization's business operations, employee job performance, and consumer satisfaction. The financial performance of MSMEs in Isabela, Philippines is qualitatively characterized as "low”. They struggle to obtain credit. As a result, their working capital is constrained by the business's revenue and it is argued that providing sufficient financing to MSMEs will increase and sustain their profitability and growth. 2.5 E-commerce During the COVID-19 Pandemic With consumers increasingly shopping online amid pandemic constraints, entrepreneurs have become even more receptive to the digital phenomenon of online buying. E-commerce platforms such as Lazada and Shopee are expected to lead these online shopping platforms, with sales revenues expected to climb by millions of pesos. Technology has already transformed online business transactions into an infinite marketplace, where managing a business has become more easy and effective for both sellers and consumers. Arreola (2020) stated that the importance of online shopping has been emphasized during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several of the advantages of an internet business include its low-cost but effective ability to attract clients 24 hours a day. Online marketing is the practice of 146 AJMESC, February 2022 Copyright © 2022 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Asian Journal of Management Entrepreneurship and Social Sciene ISSN: 2808 7399 https://ajmesc.com/index.php/ajmesc Volume 02 Issue 01 advertising and selling items and services through the use of digital and virtual environments. The rapid progress of computerized media has paved the way for new channels of publicity and promotion. This, together with the advent of gadgets that enable access to enhanced media, has resulted in the rapid development of computerized promotion. Advanced marketing is frequently referred to as web-based advertising, web showcasing, or web marketing. The term "computerized promoting" has gained widespread acceptance over time, particularly in specific countries. Clients can access website pages for promotion through their mobile devices with versatile web marketing. Site pages can be used to aggregate portable communications sources such as updates for meetings, workshops, and other key events that require clients to be mostly logged into their PCs (Catral, 2015). 2.6 Understanding Online, Internet, Mobile, and Digital Marketing Kotler and Levy (1969) defined marketing as the function of an organization that is capable of maintaining constant contact with its customers, anticipating their needs, and developing products to meet those needs while also developing a system of communication to express the organization's objectives. Kotler and Keller (2013) describe marketing as the process of profitably addressing demands. As a result of this definition, marketing is defined as the process of identifying and meeting human and social needs. The term "online marketing" refers to the practice of utilizing the internet to accomplish marketing objectives. The phrase e-marketing is frequently used interchangeably with internet marketing, but it also includes mobile marketing. In a broader sense, digital marketing is the process of utilizing the internet and other information and communication technologies to accomplish marketing objectives (Sedlacek, 2006). Digital marketing may be defined as the use of digital technologies to provide channels for marketing and attaining corporate objectives by meeting and exceeding clients' expectations. Based on the study of Durai et al., (2019), to comprehend what digital marketing tactics are, it's helpful to categorize what is not digital marketing. Printed, broadcast, television, and billboards are not examples of digital marketing. These channels were highly lucrative for a long time, but these aren't as efficient now. By using digital marketing channels and methods the marketers can analyze their marketing campaigns to understand what is working and what is not working in real-time. While the internet is inextricably linked to digital marketing, other mediums are critical as well. With the phenomenal expansion of smartphones and tablets in recent years, mobile has emerged as a generally accepted channel for digital marketing. Social media has turned into a formidable proponent for digital marketing. Initially, social networks were intended to 147 AJMESC, February 2022 Copyright © 2022 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Asian Journal of Management Entrepreneurship and Social Sciene ISSN: 2808 7399 https://ajmesc.com/index.php/ajmesc Volume 02 Issue 01 facilitate in-person connections. It has lead to the transformation of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter into valuable digital marketing tools. For the success of business in today’s world, it is important to have a strong digital footprint within the internet. For this purpose when a business is defining its marketing plan, it should incorporate a solid digital strategy. Without a digital marketing strategy, new client engagements, brand awareness, and revenue-generating prospects are likely to suffer. 2.7 Preferences and Future Research Directions In light of the investigation of King (2019), that companies should keep the above factors that influence their consumers in consideration to adopt the appropriate strategies in their digital marketing efforts. They must conduct a comprehensive strategy to addressing the consumer's need and using the potential provided by the digital marketing platform by activating those factors that influence them in the various digital marketing channels. For businesses to address this new market successfully, they must first understand the elements in which their consumers live, how they think, and how their perception is shifting in response to the increased use of technology in their daily activities. After all, positive consumerism serves as an opportunity for businesses. Keeping this in mind, businesses must develop appropriate digital strategies that cater to customer wants to increase their chances of survival and growth, particularly due to the volume and pace of change. caused through digitization. Technology usage has a huge impact on business performance. To remain competitive and preserve their market position, cut flower businesses should employ digital marketing strategies. There is a substantial association between digital marketing and the performance of floral businesses. Since technology has become an integral element of enterprises, businesses should adopt digital marketing strategies that are aligned with their objectives and expectations. Customer dynamics are constantly evolving. Thus, a firm's success will be determined by its understanding of these changes and the implementation of an effective marketing communication strategy. As a result, as the rate of change in client preferences accelerates, organizations' survival increasingly relies on developing new marketing strategies that are compatible with their manpower's resources and capabilities. The study discovered that maintaining client engagement through digital marketing contributes to the cut. As flower exporting businesses expand their footprint at significantly lower costs, they improve their income, customer base, market share, and ultimately profitability (Onyango, 2016). 148 AJMESC, February 2022 Copyright © 2022 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

IMPLICATIONS According to Lockett (2018) to enable small retail business owners to improve derived sales through the use of digital marketing, they must hire the right people, utilize successful advertising methods, and carefully select explicit content online. Additionally, corporate leaders developed direct contacts with the community to raise brand awareness, accelerate growth, and ensure long-term viability. Business executives utilize a variety of communication platforms to create and promote products and services in the retail business, as well as to improve their organization's performance. Social media is a tool for communication. Digital marketing, an Internet phenomenon, enables small retail shop owners to incorporate Internet communication into their business strategy and has evolved into a platform for advertising (Cant & Wiid, 2016). Small retail business owners lack the resources necessary to improve technology to capitalize on rising prospects on the Internet. Without the appropriate tools, small retail enterprises face obstacles that limit their digital marketing prospects. Often, a business's talents dictate its success (Ragab, 2016). Ibrahim et al., (2018) due to a shift in consumer purchase behavior, digital marketers are being drawn to social media advertising. According to social media surveys, the average consumer spends 37 minutes per day on prominent social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter, and 10% of internet users spend time on social media sites. Consider the potential market share gains that social media marketing might provide for internet marketers. In 2013, over 53% of digital marketers had already established a social media presence for their companies, and by 2014, social advertising spending would continue to expand. 4. CONCLUSION Digital marketing has superseded traditional marketing and communication methods. Social, cultural, religious, technological, and economic variables all influence the digital marketing skills gap. Advertisements on the internet are becoming commonplace. The perceived benefits and aims of digital marketing by firms can be categorized. Customers like Wonderful Bali's digital marketing strategy. Online marketing is using the internet to market. Digital marketing leverages digital technologies to give marketing channels. A solid online presence is vital to a company's success. To address client needs while utilizing digital marketing platforms, an integrated strategy is essential. To penetrate this new market successfully, corporations must first understand their customers' lifestyles. Cut flower businesses should embrace digital marketing to stay competitive and market leaders. Digital marketing has evolved 149 AJMESC, February 2022 Copyright © 2022 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Asian Journal of Management Entrepreneurship and Social Sciene ISSN: 2808 7399 https://ajmesc.com/index.php/ajmesc Volume 02 Issue 01 into an advertising platform that allows small business owners to communicate online. Small retailers lack funding to update technology and leverage Internet growth. Assume that social media marketing can increase market share by advertising and selling items and services online. Some buyers still demand to touch and feel products or services before paying for them. In other words, digital marketing and economic stability are intertwined. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises use digital marketing, but only to a "low" extent. For SMEs, this means increasing ICT-based marketing. As a result, both suppliers and customers are more productive. E-commerce sites like Lazada are expected to raise millions of pesos. 5.
