The old marketing practises use broadcast and print advertisement tools for promotion, advertising and campaign. These tools include magazines, flyers, television, radio, billboard and roadshow to name a few.

Though these have common limitations such as:

 Miss It and Miss Out: Brand advertisement on billboards are only noticed by those who care to look, but with Social Media Marketing whatever goes to the Internet remains there for anyone to see anytime and anywhere. Facts and figures have it that 70% of people skip Billboard, Radio and TV advert. The social media marketing allows One to One target marketing.

Whatever goes to the Internet remains there

 Higher Cost of Advertisement and Marketing: Though advertisement is an investment, the cost of placing advert on TV and radio are higher when compared with social media advertisement. The ordeals of getting APCON certification and placing advertisement do not exist on social media platforms. Social media marketing makes advertisement much easier and cost-effective.

Advertisement is an investment.

 Measurement Metrics: Business owners should not be making intuitive decision; the desire to have an idea of the demography reach of advertisement and the effect on sales immediately and thereafter. Social Media Marketing (SMM) makes measurement simple, the audiences are known, their location, social demography (age, gender and social class), thereby creating a better avenue for classification and fact-based decision.

Social media creates a better avenue for classification and fact-based decision.

 Accessibility: Marketers can’t engage every merchants and clientele at the same time, but social media marketing creates an avenue to talk to customers on a one to one basis. Just a click connects customers to the company and vice versa. This is a fundamental shift in the way we do business.
