Traditional advertising vs. internet marketing

Traditional advertising is dead! Actually, maybe "dead" is too strong of a word but certainly dying. Internet marketing is fast becoming the way to share with the world your products and services.

With the costs continuing to go up but effectiveness going down it's no wonder print ads in newspapers, magazines, etc. are dwindling while costs for internet marketing is declining at the same time effectiveness rate is increasing.

The amount of time people are spending on the internet increases daily which in turn has created more opportunity for business on the internet to advertise. Major companies are jumping on this bandwagon.

The fact that you can target your customer with pin point precision on the internet is a lot more appealing than the shotgun approach with traditional advertising. That's huge!

Not only target, but track, those reading your ads(can't do that through a newspaper ad!)allowing you to further market to them and get them to convert.

The Internet can be less expensive to advertise, have a lower entry point, and advertise in a greater range!

Overall, if you are still throwing your money at print ads, why? It may be time to chat with someone about how your business can utilize the internet for marketing and advertising.
