Digital Marketing – The fashion that never fades
Those of you born in the 90’s would remember the endless rows of banners and posters in the street announcing the birth of a product. The tall billboards never failed to garner attention. Pamphlets were a boon to the kids who used to make paper planes or boats of them. And flyers seldom served the purpose for inviting customers to the inauguration of a new shop.
Advertising
Advertising in the good old days was just a way to sell an idea, without paying heed to build long-term relations with the consumer. But just as time changes with the tides, the arena of advertising, too, has undergone a revolution. The same customers who used to get attracted towards billboards, now, view the same as ‘Oh God, another distraction!’ Such exasperated remarks are no wonder in this new age of digital marketing.
An age where people spend more time on the internet than on the TV or out of their home, digital marketing has opened unprecedented opportunities for marketers to sell their products online. Unaffected by time and space and immune to the phenomenon of being labelled ‘outdated’, the internet has opened new dimensions that were never even thought of back in the days of our grandma and grandpa (a reason to feel proud of and tell stories about the same to them!)
