10 Ways in Which Social Media Marketing Dominates Traditional Advertising

In recent years, more and more businesses are turning to social media to market their products and services. This recent trend is due in large part to these 10 reasons:

1. Speed
Posting on a social networking site, a blog, or sending out an e-mail is instant. Social media campaigns can be fast, targeted, and cost-efficient whereas traditional print marketing may take months to see results.

2. Continuous Marketing Information
Online data collection is constant. There are many services available that track online campaigns.

3. Unlimited Lifespan of Ads
Online ads can remain online forever, while print ads are only temporary.

4. Ease of Customer Support
Online customer support is quicker and more efficient than traditional methods (i.e. telephone, manuals, or mail).

5. Geography is No Longer Restrictive
Anyone anywhere can be reached via an online marketing campaign. Traditional marketing is limited to specific geographic regions.

6. Instant Sales
When a business is marketing itself online, it can sell a product in a matter of seconds. Offline advertising requires salespeople with a knowledge of the product and that require paychecks.

7. Available 24/7
A website is up around the clock, but most businesses cannot afford to keep their doors open 24/7 and they cannot sell products when they are closed.

8. Cost Efficiency (Cost of Media)
Online marketing campaigns are typically much cheaper than traditional forms of advertising.

9. Cost Per Customer
Since online marketing campaigns are cheaper, it costs less to gain a customer online than offline, where employees are required to translate ads into sales.

10. Marketing Effects
Online, a customer finds a business while searching for a particular item. Offline, businesses must introduce themselves to each customer that comes into their location.

Social media marketing campaigns can save money, time, and effort, yet bring necessary results and often exceed expectations.
