Your polite and friendly approach solving the queries and clarifying things would help you gain more customers. This customer friendly approach is not available with the traditional marketing. For eg: you distribute your flyers through a third party and do you think your customer is going to share their experience with the flyer distributor or will he be aware of the friendly nature of the business, nothing.. Digital Marketing should be preferred over traditional marketing in knowing the customer feedback.

Strategies based on analytics

Analytics is one major advantage of digital marketing. Think about what you can do in television or radio add and what you can do in social media ads and other digital marketing.

In television you can determine the prime time to air your ad, but you won’t even know for sure if the viewers are watching the advertisements. The impact of these ads can only be seen in the product’s sales.

Whereas in digital marketing you know the live day to day statistics of your marketing strategy and if your strategy have not attracted the customers then you could try changing it for the next day. 

The following are the data that you can get from your digital marketing

• How long did the customers read through your website
• Did the customers click through the CTA
• If they interacted with it.
• Do they like your business
• Is your business being shared
• Any action initiated
