Why Traditional Marketing is Not Yet Dead

Many say that traditional marketing is already dead come the dawn of digital age. While some may agree to this, there is still a substantial proof in the industries today which shows otherwise. For one, traditional marketing makes use of traditional media which is preferred by the young and the old in so many ways.

For most businesses, traditional media it continues to serve as an important part of an overall marketing strategy. This is regardless the businesses' nature and target audience. Television and print ads are still two of the effective tools for raising brand awareness and business promotion at the local, national and even international levels. Both allow entrepreneurs and marketers to connect with broad demographic and psychographic profiles. They can communicate a marketing message to an audience who is older, not tech savvy and not social media dependent at all.


The traditional media will co-exist with digital media and the same goes with the marketing type each  of the two has produced. Some may say that the latter has totally changed the former but the truth is consumer behaviour has changed over the years. And this change brought about the rise of digital media and the somewhat dying state of traditional media. In conclusion, traditional media and marketing will remain in the years to come because not all consumers are hooked to the online space no matter how rampant its use is.
