THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL MARKETING

Both digital marketing and traditional marketing are used for similar objectives, which are to draw in clients and to construct a brand picture. However, the main difference is that with traditional marketing you have to go out there and find your clients whereas with digital marketing your clients come to you.

Traditional marketing can only get you so far and can be more expensive. Digital marketing strategies can help you reduce your marketing overheads by around 39%, therefore increasing your profit margins. Think local but act globally.
