We were doing marketing continuously from our birth. For example, a small baby cries when he/she gets hungry. But once milk is feed baby stops crying. It means baby convinced parent by delivering message through cry & get the thing done. In simple language, marketing means sending the right message to the right person at right time.

According to Philip Kotlar- “Marketing is a never-ending process by which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers in return.”

The second important myth is Marketing means SALE. Guys let me clear sale is a part of marketing. Sales give actual revenue or monetary benefits to the beneficiary but there are no. process or thing to be done for the best result that means sale. Marketing is a cycle. This is a never-ending process. Sale is a part of the entire process.

Traditional Marketing Vs. Digital Marketing

Pros & cons of traditional marketing.

01) Effective and easy to understand
Billboard or hit TV advertising is a common part of most people’s daily lives. They are easy to digest and often interesting.

02) Printed marketing material is more durable
If you have an ad in the New York Times issue, it will remain until the magazine is reprocessed. If the customer is a loving collector, that’s great.

03) More memorable
Traditional marketing tools are more memorable. The prospect of a new Super Bowl ad or a beautiful and impressive window display is more likely to linger in your mind than an ad that scrolls through your seconds.

04) Campaigns are more difficult to measure
There are ways to measure traditional marketing campaigns like brand trackers, but they are not as in-depth or intelligent as the tools available for digital marketing.

05) Expensive
If you’re a childhood brand you don’t have the money for the prevalent 4 pages. Many types of traditional marketing will pay you well.

06) No direct communication
It is difficult to directly interact with the audience or customers

Pros & cons of Digital marketing.

03) Makes excellent targeting possible
Now a day marketers have a great no. of tools to create valuable content. This will help to make an excellent target audience

Think of the moment you’re scrolling through your Facebook homepage and see what your old school friends are up to today. Then you will get a sponsored advertisement related to the dangerous disease of the terrible disease the night before. Make sure you’re actively disliking the brand, even with smart targeting

05) Less permanent
Digital marketing efforts, such as Google ads, banners, promo emails, or social media ads, may have temporary characters. They are abstract and can easily be ignored. If your target audience is scrolling to the next page or their clicks, your ads will go to their screen

06)Is constantly evolving
There is so much to learn from your many digital marketing efforts. Each channel usually needs its own expert, from search engine marketing to social media, each channel needs a pro to get a good green voice. However, grass-roots social media marketing is a great place to start strategies.
