Traditional Advertising v/s Digital Advertising




Every business should understand the importance of advertising and its impact on customers. Business gets hampered when customers are unaware of your business. It directly affects the sales and profit of the firm. Advertising is a way to communicate to the customers irrespective of whether you are new or old in the industry.  It is a medium through which you can communicate about your products and services. It’s very hard to decide which method is trending or fading away. There are two advertising methods – traditional advertising and digital adverting.

Traditional advertising means conveying mass communication to a mass audience with the help of mass media. It includes advertising on radio, magazines, newspaper, outdoor billboards and TV commercials. Word of mouth is very effective as customers can read the expressions and gestures. The success rates are very high. The Internet and new media have diminished the influence of mass media. Replacing traditional advertising completely with modern advertising techniques can prove dangerous.

Digital advertising is also called as internet marketing. The Internet is used as a medium to reach potential customers. It is a cost efficient marketing method. Digital advertising is very competitive and reaches to customers who are internet savvy. Connecting directly with customers is possible via email marketing, reverting back to customer feedback etc. There are many modules in digital advertising/digital marketing to make customers aware of the products and services. They are:
1. Social media is the most powerful medium as almost everyone is active on social sites. In social media, one can boost the website traffic either through paid ads or can attract traffic organically.
2. Another way is running ads using AdWords. There are three types of ads run:
a. A PPC or CPC ad means pay per click ads. In PPC, an amount is charged to the advertiser by the publisher for per click on the ad run.
b. In Cost Per Acquisition (CPA), advertiser’s per conversion cost are measured from start to finish.
c. CPM stands for Cost Per Mile. The advertiser is charged for 1000 impression (An impression is a number of times the ad is viewed by people).

Both marketing methods have certain advantages and disadvantages. It’s up to you if you want to put more efforts into traditional advertising or digital advertising platform.  Making a careful decision leads to better future results.
