digital & traditional marketing
Traditional marketing refers to any type of marketing that isn’t online. This means print, broadcast, direct mail, phone, and outdoor advertising like billboards. From newspapers to radio, this method of marketing helps reach targeted audiences.
I am well versed in both mediums, and have been marketing for twenty-seven years.
traditional marketing
Traditional marketing is not dead! Traditional marketing plays an important role in reaching local audiences and interacting with customers on a personal level. Today's consumers rely on relationships more than ever. They will choose businesses that they feel have a genuine interest in their well-being and lives.
Direct Mail
Direct mail has proven its value time and time again. Statistics and science prove it often yields greater results than digital because of its tangibility. Direct mail also offers major benefits, such as greater response rates, trust building, personalization, versatility, simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and more.

Like newspapers, radio, and television in previous decades, billboards are a wildly effective way to reach thousands of people at once.
