22. Social Media vs Traditional Media
•Radio, Newspaper, TV, Magazines, print, hoardings etc. are very known examples
of Traditional Media for decades.
•Social Media is any technology that allows people to network with one another. It’s
about engagements of people. Like Facebook and Google+.
•Social Media is interactive and cost effective by nature, whereas traditional
marketing is passive.
•Social Media campaigns can be sculpted and toned to accommodate a specific
target market, whether its local or world wide.
•Traditional Media will often present the product or offer, but the “interaction” ends
there. When it comes to Social Media, the company and consumer truly interact
and react off each other.
•Unlike traditional media, most Social Media vehicles are created online, allowing
for a more malleable platform.
