The authors attempt to further develop the classification of digital marketing tools in the terms of identifiing new classification attribute "By type of mediation", which contributes to further systematization of digital tools, deepening understanding of the impact of various tools (direct, indirect), the degree of their specialization and economic interest, that makes possible their effective implementation at different entities. The comparative analysis of the main digital tools is being held resulting in defining their characteristics and the peculiarities of application. It is suggested to determine the importance factor of using each digital tool to promote industrial production by the method of pairwise comparison. It is proposed to consider the importance factor of using a particular digital tool when calculating the cost-effectiveness of using it.
