THEN
• Advertisers had all the control.
• Consumers were bombarded
with ads & pamphlets trying
to sell them many products.
• While they didn’t like this,
they couldn’t do anything
about it.
18. @RyanBonnici | #GrowWithHubSpot | @HubSpot
NOW
• The buyer is in control
and has much more power.
• They have all the tools at
their disposal to do their
own research.
• They’re able to make
their own decision on your
product / service without you.
