Online Marketing versus Traditional Marketing.
The obvious difference between online marketing and traditional marketing is the online aspect, which comes from the internet and its development.
In todays world specifically the marketing world the internet rules it all. The internet is the way that everyone communicates today, and marketers have turned this to their advantage.
First we must look at traditional marketing before the internet. Before the internet Marketers were forced to market on a very limited scale. Marketers worked by word of mouth mostly. This limited marketers in their ability to capture potential customers. For example if a marketer was trying to sell their products to a potential customer they would be forced to try and create a visual image to their audience of what their product can give them. Now if they were to create this image this only lasts for a short amount of time. This inevitably sets marketers and their brands up for short term success not long term success.
Now with the new online marketing the game has changed. Marketing has changed completely. It is everywhere! That being said marketer now are able to create a visual image of what their products can give their consumers that will lasts. Lets take Coke for example their are able to market all over the internet. They have a Facebook, Twitter Personal Website, and several more social media outlets. These social media outlets allow for consumers and potential consumers to be able to see what Coke give them now and in the long run. If that isn't enough Coke has partnered with several different celebrities like Taylor Swift, and Beyonce. This allows Coke to reach a whole new audience.
I agree that the Internet rules all because of the change that it isn't word of mouth anymore. However, there is such thing as a virtual word of mouth. This happens with sharing and retweeting, so typically there has just been a shift in the word of mouth dynamic. User interactive has made online marketing so much cheaper for the business and usually reaches a bigger market than traditional marketing would have.
