Resumo

Repeatedly ignored and rarely used, digital marketing does not appear to be a need for the companies in the city of Teófilo Otoni, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This lack of interest can be explained by the fact that the local business people are not concerned about this working tool as a development strategy, both in the way of thinking and acting. Regarding the methodology used, from the point of view of its nature, the research comes up as a basic one and, from the objectives’ point of view it is seen as a descriptive research. On the object of study, this paper adopted field research for survey and data collection, and the mechanisms applied were those of direct observation and the use of questionnaires. Data analysis occurred through simple statistical analysis. The questionnaire was applied between the months of December 2014 and January 2015, with an answer rate of 57% of the target companies.
