Traditional marketing is the process where promotion of

common and the oldest form of advertisement which started ever since marketing

Newspaper Ad- Traditional Marketing |
For example, You may have
seen those huge Billboards along roads or highways displaying Cars, Bikes, Construction
Company Ads etc. or those Newspaper ads displaying the newly released mobile
or car models. Also while walking through the market or some crowded area, you may have
encounter the person offering free pamphlets.
These are few of the traditional methods of business
promotion. Here, people who see or read the billboards or the newspaper, or who
reads the pamphlet, gets to know about the business or the product that they
are promoting.
But
we have no idea if anyone have actually read and is interested in business. Some people even after taking the pamphlet do not read it and
they either throw it away or use it for some other purpose.
Traditional form of advertisements are very costly. Company has
to invest money in terms of millions for creating and displaying Ads and
Billboards. For Instance, Times of India
charges INR6500 approx. per sq cm/day for Front Page Advertisement.
Another disadvantage is that even after spending huge amount
of money the promoters are not aware whether the consumers are getting aware of
their business/products or not.

on the other hand is the process where promotion of business is done Online via
electronic medium. Digital Marketing or Internet Marketing is the modern form
of advertisement.

allows us to target globally i.e. it can make your product or business reach to
every part of the world.

Cost is one of the biggest factor for a company when it
comes to business marketing. While Newspaper, TV and other traditional media
promotions costs a lot, publicizing through the web is very moderate.

day you run an ad, but this does not happen with digital marketing. You can
update or promote your business on your website without any additional cost, if
you have a person who can update.

do not get any information about the customer who reads or who gets interested
with our business marketing.

In traditional method, it is possible only to target a
specific area or location at a time providing small exposure. However with
