Cost

Traditional marketing methods like paper, billboard, television, and radio ads can be costly, especially for small businesses. Traditional marketers cannot compete for the Internet’s potential to attract an audience as they can reach out thousands with just a single post.

That’s why printing an advertisement on a billboard or paying for getting some ad space on a newspaper to pull some action is less effective than creating an online initiative that can turn out to be a great way to expand exposure. In many ways, the lower costs of digital marketing create a more level playing field, making space for smaller businesses to compete with larger ones.

There is a difference in both marketing strategies. Traditional marketing promotes the products of a brand through ads on. This marketing strategy spends huge bucks to keep the promotion running on the schedule.

Online marketing can also carry a cost, but there are numerous online marketing strategies that are virtually free.

Coverage

In traditional marketing, coverage of the product will be done by printing on paper media or airing on television and radio, but the exposure of the products will in most cases is very momentary. For instance, taking in account newspaper where the high-cost business advertisement will only appear on the present day and to the very next day thrown out of the consideration.

As print and broadcast selling techniques need some time to travel from a constructed place (drafts should be completed, model or demo advertisements reviewed and edited) to delivery place (advertising time slots and placement determining).

After this too it requires some time to reach the audience. On the other hand, this process also takes some time in developing concepts and creating contents, but online marketing takes almost instantaneous time. It only requires a place, time and thought into the content and style method, selling campaigns will be sanctioned by few clicks only.
