Online advertising, also known as internet advertising, uses the internet to deliver promotional marketing messages to the consumers, and it includes e-mail marketing, social media marketing, mobile advertising and many more.www.wikipedia.com. Most companies have become "socialcorps", socialcorps are companies that are learning to take advantage of the power of social media to reshape their relationships with their costomers and other important audiences.
There is no doubt that online advertising is somewhat more effective than the traditional above the line advertising in a sense that, unlike traditional advertising mediums, online advertising allows interactivity, in other words marketers are now able to reach their target audience directly and actually engage them in an open discussion on a certain topic matter, whereas traditional advertising on the other hand is only monologue communication, where audiences do not even get an oppotunity to talk back, and that is why online advertising is taking over.

Millions of brands, big or small, rely heavily on internet advertising for many different reasons. Social media platforms are very powerful, and they are masters of getting messages to the target audience instantly and effectively. Social media platform YOUTUBE allows companies to post videos of their newly launced products, how they work and how best to use them; and so having discussed what online advertising can do that traditional advertising can't, there is no doubt that traditional advertising is not nearly as effective as online advertising, because not only does online advertising deliver messages to the target audience instantly, it also makes locally based brands known globally, and if done properly and creatively it can attract potential business people from all over the world to come and invest in our very own brands.
That is so true hey, traditional media has lost its value in this world we are living in. Online advertising is the "ish" that builds a more. deeper and stronger interaction between brands and its publics
ReplyDeleteCertainly@Pushy, most people seldom buy newspapers or sit for TV news, they rather check their tablets and ipads to check news24 online
Deletetraditional media is history and its right about time advertisers took notice
Deleteyoh but there is so many of them hey, and those listed arent the only ones theres others, and more are still in their conceptualisation process and advertising on them is florishing, its the way to go
ReplyDeletecorrect Sakhile, there are other thousands of them, it's the death of traditional media
Deleteonline advertising is most preferred because we live in the 21st centuary and many people access the internet on a daily basis,so online advertising has an impact.
ReplyDeletetrue, we prefer news24 over newspapers and TV news, but is this the end of traditional media, or what?
Deletepeople access internet on a daily basis indeed and they are no longer interested in newspapers and TV news
Deletethat is very true.online advertising is taking the lead because many people are living in the internt.its just convenient than traditional media cause i can be in the internet while on the go.
ReplyDeletecorrect,and it has grown drastically in the past few years, the dearth of traditional advertising indeed
DeleteTraditional media is history and it's right about time advertisers to notice
Deleteand in addition to what has already been said, i think online advertising is somewhat more effective that traditional advertising methods
ReplyDeleteit certainly is and probably always will be because it is growing drastically
DeleteOnline advertising is the future but you know that a lot people rely on television rather than anything else and this remains a problematic issue.And what is your say on this comment.
ReplyDeleteand that explains why most companies now combine both online advertising and traditional advertising to have a robust media strategy
Deleteis this the end of traditional advertising?
ReplyDeleteTraditional advertising is dying...fast. I mean it's about time advertisers took notice. The way some companies advertise, they have people stand at the robots handing out flyers and what i've noticed is that it's not a lot of people who open their windows to take the flyer. If you know what you're looking for then you can just go to the internet, search then done.
ReplyDeletespot on mate,and even when it comes to reading news, people now prefer online content over newspapers and TV news
DeleteI totally agree that online advertising is definetely taking over....nice 1!!!
ReplyDeletecorrect, and i suppose it's right about time advertisers took notice and put their money where their mouth is, spot on mate, you are very correct
DeleteOnline advertising going corporate that’s a good thing hey I mean if you as a brand you adapt to this social media and digital world then you will perish.
ReplyDeleteloud and clear@Nyiko, it's either they adapt or perish, very simple!
DeleteI also happen to strongly think that social media represnts how companies will operate in the future, rather than being part-option in how its used presently, social media will become a norm for company sustinence.
ReplyDeletei couldn't agree more Vongani, social media platforms have impacted the way we practice Advertising profoundly
Deletei agree with you because we no longer use newspapers and etc. we just get information on social media.
ReplyDeleteNews24 is the way to go mate,people are no longer interested in newspapers and TV news, they go online
DeleteYes thats very true hey, it has really changed how advertising has been done
ReplyDeletei couldnt agree more comrade
DeleteTrue online advertising is taking over writing media such as news papers and magazines bcz most people are always online.
